Abstract
Abstract We report the sighting of a mangrove cuckoo (Coccyzus minor) in June 2019 at Parque Bicentenario, Mexico City, Mexico. This record from the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) is 182 km from the closest published record within the TMVB, and 217 km away from its known distribution range in the Atlantic Slope and 475 km from the Pacific Slope. This sighting, and several recent sightings during the breeding season, might indicate dispersal into a new biogeographic province from its predominantly lowland range. Within this biogeographic province, this finding helps to better understand its distribution and habitat use in Mexico.
期刊介绍:
The Southwestern Naturalist (a publication of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists since 1953) is an international journal (published quarterly) that reports original and significant research in any field of natural history. This journal promotes the study of plants and animals (living and fossil) in the multinational region that includes the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Appropriate submission of manuscripts may come from studies conducted in the countries of focus or in regions outside this area that report significant findings relating to biota occurring in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Publication is in English, and manuscripts may be feature articles or notes. Feature articles communicate results of completed scientific investigations, while notes are reserved for short communications (e.g., behavioral observations, range extensions, and other important findings that do not in themselves constitute a comprehensive study). All manuscripts (feature articles and notes) require an abstract in both English and Spanish.
