H. Hara and Persicaria glabra (Willd.) M. Gómez (Polygonaceae): two newly recorded species from the Yucatan Peninsula and Mexico https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/78773/ Check List 18(3): 507-513

Abstract: Two species of Persicaria (L.) Mill. are reported for the first time in the Neotropics. Persicaria glabra (Willd.) M. Gómez is reported for the first time as part of the flora of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and Persicaria barbata (L.) H. Hara is newly recorded from Mexico and the Americas. We present morphological descriptions of these two species along with figures, a distribution map, and a dichotomous key for the identification of the six species of Persicaria from the Yucatan Peninsula.

Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in La Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve and Puerto Arista Estuarine System, Chiapas, Mexico https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/63657/ Check List 17(4): 1155-1170

DOI: 10.15560/17.4.1155

Authors: Julio C. Hernandez-Hernandez, Cuauhtémoc Chavez

Abstract: La Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve (REBIEN) and Puerto Arista Estuarine System (SEPA) are natural protected areas and Ramsar sites in Chiapas, Mexico. In this study, we conducted an inventory of medium-sized and large mammals using camera trapping. We recorded 23 species in the REBIEN and 13 species in the SEPA. In addition, 35% of the species recorded in the two sites are at some category of risk of extinction at the national or international level. The most abundant species in the REBIEN were Northern Raccoon (Procyon lotor (Linnaeus, 1758)) and White-Nosed Coati (Nasua narica (Linnaeus, 1766)). In the SEPA, White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmermann, 1780)), Collared Peccary (Dicotyles crassus (Merrian, 1901)), and White-Nosed Coati (Nasua narica). Our results highlight the importance of both study sites in the conservation of medium-sized and large mammals and underline the urgent need to develop conservation strategies for these areas.

An annotated checklist of the macrofungi (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Glomeromycota) from Quintana Roo, Mexico https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/50953/ Check List 16(3): 627-648

DOI: 10.15560/16.3.627

Authors: Javier Isaac de la Fuente, Jesús García-Jiménez, Caribell Yuridia López, Iván Oros-Ortega, Reyna Yazuly Vela-Hernández, Gonzalo Guevara-Guerrero, Fortunato Garza Ocañas, Jesús Antonio Chay Casanova, León Esteban Ibarra Garibay, Victor Manuel Bandala

Abstract: According to records available in the literature, 380 species of fungi and fungus-like organisms are known for the state of Quintana Roo on the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. We carried out mycological surveys in this state, following the classical methods for collecting, describing, and curating macrofungi. As a result of our research, 21 species are recorded for the first time for Quintana Roo, and Amanita arenicola O. K. Milller & Lodge, Inocybe xerophytica Pegler, and Russula cremeolilacina Pegler are recorded for the first time for Mexico. The distinctive characteristics and photographs are provided for the new records. As a result of this study, 401 species of macrofungi are known for Quintana Roo.
