Spatial and temporal composition of the avifauna from small coastal wetlands and adjacent habitats in northwestern Baja California, Mexico

We studied the spatial and temporal composition of the avifauna from 13 small coastal wetlands and adjacent habitats in northwestern Baja California, Mexico, between February and December 2002. A total of 17,978 individuals belonging to 187 species, 121 genera and 47 families were registered. The ri...

A total of 17,978 individuals belonging to 187 species, 121 genera and 47 families were registered. The richest families in species were Anatidae (17), Scolopacidae (17) and Laridae (12). The wetlands showing the highest specific richness were El Rosario (126), Santo Tomás (107) and La Misión (95), which pooled represented 86% of the total avifauna. Seventy-six species (41%) were permanent residents, 73 (39%) seasonal visitors and 38 (20%) occasional visitors. On the basis of presence or absence of species, four groups of wetlands are distinguished: (a) San Simón, (b) La Salina, (c) El Descanso-El Ciprés, and (d) a group of nine sites that is subdivided into two branches with four and five localities each, one (d.1) consisting of San Telmo-Santo Tomás-El Rosario-La Misión and the other (d.2) of San Rafael-San Miguel-El Salado-Santo Domingo-Cantamar. The presence or absence of a permanent water body, the types of habitat and the presence or absence of anthropogenic influence at each locality were factors that contributed to the grouping of these wetlands. Specific richness and abundance were correlated with habitat diversity. Breeding evidence was documented for 20 species. Se determinó la composición espacio-temporal de la avifauna en 13 humedales pequeños costeros del noroeste de Baja California entre febrero y diciembre de 2002. Se registraron 17,978 individuos pertenecientes a 187 especies, 121 géneros y 47 familias. Las familias con mayor número de especies fueron Anatidae (17), Scolopacidae (17) y Laridae (12). Los humedales con mayor riqueza específica fueron El Rosario (126), Santo Tomás (107) y La Misión (95), los cuales en conjunto incluyeron al 86% del total de especies observadas. Setenta y seis especies (41%) fueron residentes permanentes, 73 (39%) visitantes estacionales, y 38 (20%) visitantes ocasionales. Con base en la presencia o ausencia de las especies se distinguen cuatro grupos de humedales: (a) San Simón, (b) La Salina, (c) El Descanso-El Ciprés y (d) un grupo de nueve sitios que está subdividido en dos ramas de cuatro y cinco localidades, respectivamente: (d.1) San Telmo-Santo Tomás-El Rosario-La Misión y (d.2) San Rafael-San Miguel- El Salado-Santo Domingo-Cantamar. La presencia o ausencia de un cuerpo de agua permanente, los tipos de hábitat y la presencia o ausencia de influencia antropogénica en cada localidad fueron los factores que contribuyeron al agrupamiento de estos humedales. La riqueza y abundancia de especies estuvieron correlacionadas con la diversidad de hábitats. Se documentaron evidencias de reproducción para 20 especies.
