Abstract

La lista de especies de anfibios y reptiles para la Sierra de Jimulco asciende a 36 especies. Dos de
ellas representan nuevos registros de distribución para el Estado y se agregan 18 especies más para los municipios que componen la Sierra de Jimulco que no habían sido registradas previamente. La lista total contiene 13 especies bajo alguna categoría de conservación de acuerdo a SEMARNAT y a la lista roja de la UICN. Además, del total de especies reconocida actualmente para los municipios de Torreón y Viesca Coahuila (52 especies), se destaca que el 25% de las especies herpetológicas se encuentran bajo alguna categoría de riesgo. Con base en los resultados de Lemos-Espinal y Smith (2007) y los del presente trabajo, se destaca que la región de la Sierra de Jimulco contiene el 27.9% de la herpetofauna del Estado. Asimismo, de las 18 especies de los municipios de Torreón y Viesca Coahuila que solo se encuentran en la Sierra de Jimulco, se subraya la presencia de dos especies endémicas, seis sujetas a alguna categoría de protección y
siete aparentemente raras o poco abundantes. Los análisis ecológicos resaltan una riqueza muy cercana a la obtenida, además, se confirma el hecho de que la zona presenta rasgos de singularidad herpetológica y que funge como un refugio natural muy importante para numerosas especies de anfibios y reptiles. Además, dado el gradiente ambiental y topográfico, es un sitio heterogéneo e importante para la conservación de estas especies en donde además, es posible detectar interés por parte de algunos habitantes por proteger y preservar las especies herpetológicas más vulnerables.
