Diversidad de musgos en el estado de Aguascalientes, México

Abstract

1Autor para la correspondencia: moya@unam.mx Resumen: La exploración del estado de Aguascalientes documenta la existencia de 45 especies y variedades en la fl ora de musgos incluyendo siete especies citadas previamente en la literatura. Se supone que las especies registradas representan una extensión de la fl oras de las zonas secas de Jalisco y Zacatecas. Aunque se requiere mayor exploración de campo, los análisis de riqueza fl orística y distribución potencial estiman que la fl ora del estado es comparativamente pequeña (91 especies). Los sitios más altos en el occidente del estado, principalmente, deberán explorarse para conocer la diversidad de su fl ora de musgos. Palabras clave: distribución potencial, Jalisco, modelaje, riqueza fl orística, Zacatecas.Abstract: Current exploration documents the presence of 45 species and varieties in the moss fl ora of the state of Aguascalientes, including seven taxa previously cited in the literature. These species seem to represent an extension of the dry land fl ora of the states of Jalisco and Zacatecas. Even though additional fi eldwork is required, fl oristic richness and potential distribution analyses indicate that the state moss fl ora is comparatively small in number with at least 91 species. At least, the higher sites in the western part of Aguascalientes should be explored to obtain a better idea of the diversity of its moss fl ora.

Moss diversity in the state of Aguascalientes Mexico: Revision and update

“…Antecedentes: Se conocían siete especies de musgos para Aguascalientes hasta que Delgadillo et al (2015) registraron 38 especies y variedades nuevas para la flora de ese estado. Hipótesis: Aunque ocupa áreas geográficas comparativamente secas, Aguascalientes debe tener una flora más diversa.…”

“…Background: Seven moss species were known from the state of Aguascalientes before a study by Delgadillo et al (2015) listed 38 new records for its moss flora. Hypothesis: Despite its comparatively dry climate, Aguascalientes could harbor a more diverse moss flora.…”

“…Collecting localities in Aguascalientes. Localities reported by Delgadillo et al (2015) are indicated by diamonds. Solid circles represent recent collections by the authors and by HUAA personnel.…”

“…preliminary contribution (Delgadillo et al 2015) noted that several states in central Mexico were poorly explored and their moss floras were not well known. Guanajuato, Querétaro, and Zacatecas received some recent attention, but Aguascalientes remained unexplored until 2013.…”

“…Guanajuato, Querétaro, and Zacatecas received some recent attention, but Aguascalientes remained unexplored until 2013. Collections reported by Delgadillo et al (2015) listed the names of 45 moss species and varieties, including seven previously known for the flora of Aguascalientes; collecting effort and niche modelling analysis suggested a potential richness of 91 species for the state when a broader exploration were conducted. The earlier report also proposed that this moss flora was an extension of the dry land flora of Jalisco and Zacatecas, but no further comment was offered because of the limited floristic information available.…”
