Herpetofauna del Ejido Barreal de Guadalupe en la Reserva Ecológica Municipal Sierra y Cañón de Jimulco, Torreón, Coahuila, México

Abstract

The objective of the present work was to elaborate a list of the diversity of amphibians and reptiles in the Ejido Barreal de Guadalupe located in the Sierra y Cañón de Jimulco Municipal Ecological Reserve, in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico. From 2015 to 2019, sampling was conducted throughout the four seasons of the year. Eighteen complexes of fall traps with fence were placed in addition to using snare sticks, direct capture and recording of sightings. Additionally, nocturnal collections were made in two polygons (north and south) and in one of the tributaries of the Aguanaval River. A total of 20 species were recorded. The south polygon was where the greatest number of individuals were collected; the season where the greatest number of captures were recorded was autumn and the most successful collection method was pitfall traps.
