| description | The Cactaceae is a representative group of the national flora of Mexico that faces conservation problems due to overexploitation and illegal trade at the national and state levels. In this paper the present distribution of three cactus species protected by Federal Law (Ferocactus histrix, Mammillaria bombycina and M. perezdelarosae) occurring in the state of Aguascalientes is updated and their potential distribution estimated using ecological niche modeling techniques. Most populations of F. histrix were found in the western half of the state of Aguascalientes at elevations between 1750 and 2473 m, in canyons of difficult access or low hills. The populations of M. bombycina were located in southwestern Aguascalientes at elevations between 1847 and 2417 m, in canyon walls and in horizontal terrain close to the cliffs. Finally, populations of M. perezdelarosae were located in the southwestern and central regions of the state on exposed bedrock at elevations between 2024 and 2417 m. This study contributes to our knowledge of the distribution and the populations of all three species, which may be used for future reintroduction and conservation efforts of these species in the state of Aguascalientes. |

Las cactáceas en México son un grupo representativo de las zonas áridas que actualmente presenta problemas de conservación debido a la sobreexplotación y el saqueo de los que han sido objeto en todo el país. En este trabajo se reporta la distribución actual de tres especies de cactáceas en el estado de Aguascalientes actualmente sujetas a protección especial según la legislación ambiental federal mexicana (Ferocactus histrix, Mammillaria bombycina y M. perezdelarosae). Se estimó su distribución potencial mediante la técnica de modelado de nicho ecológico. La mayoría de las poblaciones de F. histrix se encontraron en la mitad oeste del estado de Aguascalientes, entre 1750 y 2473 m s.n.m., en cañadas de difícil acceso o en laderas con poca inclinación. Las de M. bombycina fueron encontradas en la parte suroeste del de la entidad, entre 1847 y 2417 m de altitud, en colonias en paredes de cañadas o a ras del suelo cerca de las cañadas. Por último, las de M. perezdelarosae se ubicaron en el suroeste y el centro del estado, en rocas muy expuestas, entre 2024 y 2417 m. El estudio aporta una actualización al conocimiento de la distribución y proporciona nuevos elementos para conocer la condición de conservación de estas especies en Aguascalientes y para buscar estrategias de reintroducción y conservación.
