| description | Diurnal raptors are an essential group for balance in communities that can be used as habitat quality indicator owing to their sensitivity to disturbance. In Mexico one of the biologically significant areas and that faces serious anthropogenic issues is Marismas Nacionales. Comprehensive management and conservation assessments for the area will require to generate a baseline on poor studied group in Mexico such as raptors. Thus we determined spatial and temporal richness of diurnal raptors through eight months (November 2010 to June 2011) in nine sites of Marismas Nacionales, where we recorded and counted all species per site and month. In that period 945 records of 22 species were made, additionally other five species were observed on a subsequent visit (January 2012) therefore we had 27 species in total. Winter richness increased with the presence of four migratory species and decreased in summer. The most abundant species were the scavengers (Turkey vulture, Black vulture) and one migratory (Osprey); these three species comprised 65% of total records. We found the highest numbers of species in Zoquipan and Garzas-Chahuín (13 and 11 species respectively). In concern of total records, Zoquipan and Chumbeño presented the highest with 207 for the first and 185 the second one. The results shows a high richness of raptors in Marismas Nacionales due to its geographical position on the limit of two biogeographic regions (transition zone) and secondly by the variety of environments in the whole area. The scarce previous data makes difficult to compare any changes in species composition, which also avoid magnify the effect of habitat loss on this group. |

Las aves rapaces diurnas son un grupo esencial para el equilibrio en las comunidades y pueden ser utilizadas como indicadoras de la calidad del hábitat debido a su sensibilidad a la perturbación. Una de las zonas en México con gran importancia biológica y con graves problemas antropogénicos es Marismas Nacionales. Generar información básica de un grupo ornitológico poco estudiado en México y dentro de una zona prioritaria como Marismas Nacionales se hace indispensable para planes de conservación y manejo del área. Por lo que en este estudio se determinó la riqueza espacial y temporal de aves rapaces diurnas durante ocho meses (noviembre de 2010 a junio de 2011) en nueve zonas de Marismas Nacionales. En cada visita se registraron y contabilizaron las especies por sitio y mes. En total se realizaron 945 registros de 22 especies, a las que se añaden cinco más observadas en una visita posterior (enero de 2012) con lo que se tiene una lista de 27 especie. La riqueza en invierno se incrementó con la llegada de cuatro especies migratorias y disminuyó en verano. Las especies más abundantes fueron las de habito necrófago (Cathartes aura, Coragyps atratus) y otra más migratoria (Pandion haliaetus) las cuales conjuntaron en 65% del total de registros. Las zonas con mayor número de especies fueron Zoquipan y las Garzas-Chahuín con 13 y 11 especies respectivamente. En cuanto a registros totales, Zoquipan y Chumbeño presentaron los más altos con 207 para el primero y 185 el segundo. Los resultados muestran una alta riqueza de aves rapaces en el área de estudio, debido a la posición geográfica, que marca la frontera de dos regiones biogeográficas (zona de transición) y por otro la variedad de ambientes que presenta. La escasa información previa dificulta comparar los eventuales cambios en la composición de las especies, lo que también dificulta magnificar el efecto de la pérdida del hábitat para este grupo.
