Resumen
FUENTES-MORENO, Axel et al. Presence of Troglodytes aedon musculus group ("Southern" House Wren) in the High Mountains Region of Veracruz. Huitzil [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.2, pp.42-53. ISSN 1870-7459.
The House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) is distributed throughout the American Continent consisting of five subspecies groups; one of them is the musculus group that distributes in Mexico from southeastern Veracruz and northeastern Oaxaca to the Yucatan Peninsula, through the Gulf of Mexico. We report observations of this subspecies group in 10 municipalities of Veracruz from 2008 to 2014. These data increase the known distribution of this group in Mexico to date. According to plumage traits, distribution and body measurements, the specimens belong to the subspecies T. a. intermedius. We also report breeding activity in four of the localities suggesting these populations are resident. Most of the observation sites show evidence of human disturbance mainly by agricultural activities, suggesting that populations have increased due to human activities which provide suitable habitat for the species.
