Two dwellings were make on field in the ecological reserve
El Plomito, municipality of Pitiquito, Sonora, Mexico. The
first one during August - September 1997 and second one during
July - August 1998. The samples were make with transect and
tramp checkered ( grave tramps ). Five species of amphibians
were identificated and also 26 species of reptiles. Relative
density of these species were evaluate through census by indirect
counting and was determinate that the species more abundant
are: Bufo alvarius; Bufo punctatus, Callisaurus draconoides;
Uta stansburiana; Cnemidophorus tigris; Heloderma suspectum;
Dipsosaurus dorsalis; Crotalus tigris; Crotalus atratrox;
Crotalus molossus; Masticophis lateralis; Masticophis flagellum;
Gopherus agassizi.
It is considerate basing by observation and abundance that
the population of these amphibians and reptiles species in
the ecological reserve El Plomito are stable. If any dramatic
modification in this area does not exist, the population will
be assurance.
