Article Synopsis
- The study examined urban bird diversity in 24 cities across Mexico, highlighting the impact of urban greenspaces versus heavily-built areas.
- It found that urban greenspaces supported more bird species overall, particularly in the Neotropical and Transition Zone regions, while heavily-built sites showed lower species richness.
- Additionally, bird communities in greenspaces were more functionally diverse, with granivores and omnivores dominating heavily-built areas, and annual rainfall negatively affected bird richness in these urbanized environments.
Omorgus suberosus (Fabricius, 1775) has been identified as a potential predator of the eggs of the turtle Lepidochelys olivacea (Eschscholtz, 1829) on one of the main turtle nesting beaches in the world, La Escobilla in Oaxaca, Mexico. This study presents an analysis of the spatio-temporal distribution of the beetle on this beach (in areas of high and low density of L. olivacea nests over two arrival seasons) and an evaluation, under laboratory conditions, of the probability of damage to the turtle eggs by this beetle.
