Abstract

DELGADILLO-MOYA, Claudio; VILLASENOR, José Luis; ORTIZ, Enrique  and  PENA-RETES, Ana Paola. Mosses diversity in the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico. Bot. sci [online]. 2015, vol.93, n.4, pp.899-906. ISSN 2007-4476.  https://doi.org/10.17129/botsci.206.

Current exploration documents the presence of 45 species and varieties in the moss flora of the state of Aguascalientes, including seven taxa previously cited in the literature. These species seem to represent an extension of the dry land flora of the states of Jalisco and Zacatecas. Even though additional fieldwork is required, floristic richness and potential distribution analyses indicate that the state moss flora is comparatively small in number with at least 91 species. At least, the higher sites in the western part of Aguascalientes should be explored to obtain a better idea of the diversity of its moss flora.

Keywords : floristic richness; Jalisco; modeling; potential distribution; Zacatecas.
