LEY-QUINONEZ, C.P.; MEZA-GONZALEZ, E.; HART, Catherine E.  y  ZAVALA-NORZAGARAY, A.A.. New distribution records for three mesocarnivores in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Revista bio ciencias [online]. 2023, vol.10, e1508.  Epub 12-Abr-2024. ISSN 2007-3380.  https://doi.org/10.15741/revbio.10.e1508.

Here we report the photographic record of the spotted skunk (Spilogale gracilis) and two threatened species (NOM-059-SEMARNAT), the American badger (Taxidea taxus), and the Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus), as evidence of the expansion of their distributions. The photographs were obtained during a photo-trapping study in the protected area of Sierra de Navachiste, Sinaloa, in northwestern Mexico, over one year and seven months (2017-2018). The presence of these species in the Sierra de Navachiste highlights the importance of this protected area, which helps maintain multiple wildlife species that have become isolated in this habitat, particularly carnivorous mammals.
