GUZMAN-SORIANO, Daniela; RETANA GUIASCON, Oscar G.  and  CU-VIZCARRA, José D.. List of terrestrial mammals of the state of Campeche, Mexico. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.1, pp.105-128. ISSN 2448-8445.

We present the updated taxonomic list of land mammals of the State of Campeche, which is composed of 111 species, equivalent to 22% representation at the national level; the bats, carnivores and rodents make up 80% of the records. According to the distribution of land mammals, Campeche only has a representative endemic, the subspecies Reithrodontomys gracilis insularis. Regarding the protection status of the species recorded in the state, 29% are within some category of protection in the NOM-059, while IUCN notes to all species, although 90% in minor category (LC) and, finally, 21 records are included in the CITES Appendices. In this way, this study establishes the level of knowledge of this fauna to state and national level, which is useful in the decision making process to promote the conservation and management planning for each of the species.
