| description | This study was conducted from July 2004 to July 2005 in the Sierra de Juarez, in northern Chihuahua. This mountainous area is located west of Ciudad Juarez, is geographically isolated, by both natural features and anthropogenic influence. The objectives were todetermine the richness and diversity of amphibians and reptiles along an altitudinal gradient and thus contribute to a better understanding of their spatial distribution and abundance. Five hundred and eleven individuals of 16 species were recorded in 52 samplings. Ecological and environmental conditions that reveal the current status of this fauna and their potential use as indicators of disturbance are described.Knowledge of our study community is urgent, given the dynamic thatis beginning to show by invasions and changes being made in theSierra. |

El presente estudio herpetofaunístico se realizó de julio del 2004 a julio del 2005 en la Sierra de Juárez, en el norte del estado de Chihuahua. Dicha serranía que se ubica al Oeste de Ciudad Juárez,se encuentra aislada geográficamente, tanto por accidentes naturalescomo por influencia antropogénica. Los objetivos del proyecto fueron determinar la riqueza y diversidad de los anfibios y reptiles a lo largo de un gradiente altitudinal y con ello contribuir a un mejor entendimiento de su distribución espacial y abundancia temporal. Seregistraron 511 individuos de 16 especies, en 52 muestreos realizados.Se describen las condiciones ecológicas y ambientales que revelan la situación actual de esta fauna y su uso potencial como indicadores de disturbio. El conocimiento de la comunidad aquí estudiada es urgente, dada la dinámica que empieza a presentar por las invasiones y modificaciones que se vienen realizando en la Sierra.
