Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico

Abstract: Wetlands are one of the most productive ecosystems in the world. However, they have received little attention in the tropics. Biodiversity data from the Terminos-Centla wetlands is limited despite the conservation efforts to protect these wetlands. In this study we list the medium-szied and large mammals from 8 sites within the Terminos-Centla wetlands. We recorded 30 native and 1 introduced species, representing 9 orders, 14 families, and 27 genera. Four of the recorded species are Threatened, 9 Endangered, a… Show more

“…Terrestrial mammal species that have been recorded in the state of Tabasco but were absent from our surveys include the Central American Agouti (Dasyprocta punctata), Margay (Leopardus wiedii), Puma (Puma concolor), Jaguar (Panthera onca), Striped Hog-nosed Skunk (Conepatus semistriatus), Southern Spotted Skunk (Spilogale angustifrons), Water opossum (Chironectes minimus), Long-tailed Weasel (Mustela frenata), Tayra (Eira barbara), White-lipped Peccary (Tayassu pecari), Red Brocket Deer (Mazama temama), and Baird's Tapir (Tapirella bairdii) (Briones-Salas et al, 2015;Hidalgo-Mihart et al, 2017). The absence of these species suggests that even the relatively high density of forest remnants and low intensity of oil palm cultivation in this landscape is insufficient to support them against a backdrop of other human pressures.…”

“…La región de Laguna de Términos posee fragmentos de vegetación natural en buen estado de conservación inmersos en una matriz de vegetación impactada por el ser humano (Soto-Galera et al, 2010), los cuales pueden actuar como áreas de posible distribución para los pecaríes, además de aportar recursos alimentarios (González-Marín et al, 2008). Sin embargo, el modelo de distribución potencial reveló que la mayor probabilidad de presencia de los pecaríes de collar se dio en áreas con el mayor porcentaje de cobertura arbórea como son los últimos fragmentos de selva baja inundable y vegetación ribereña a las márgenes de la Laguna de Términos, lo que reafirma lo reportado por Hidalgo-Mihart et al (2017). Las variables que mayor aportaron al modelo de distribución potencial de los pecaríes de collar de manera individual fueron la temperatura anual y el porcentaje de cobertura arbórea, estas variables sugieren que temperaturas en el rango de los 20 °C y una mayor cobertura arbórea incrementa la posibilidad de presencia de la especie.…”

“…Para evaluar los patrones de actividad de los pecaríes de collar se obtuvieron registros de la especie en sitios con presencia y ausencia de cerdos asilvestrados. Los sitios con presencia de cerdos asilvestrados fueron zonas donde se obtuvieron registros de pecaríes de collar y cerdos asilvestrados en los últimos 3 años (Hidalgo-Mihart et al, 2017). En estos sitios se empleó una red de 11 estaciones de fototrampeo y 1,428 días trampa entre enero y junio de 2018.…”
