Abstract
OVIEDO-HERNANDEZ, Edgar; ANDRADE-SOTO, Gabriel and HERNANDEZ-GALLEGOS, Oswaldo. Exploitation of Ctenosaura pectinata (Iguanidae) in the Central Part of its Distribution in Mexico. Rev. latinoam. herpetol. [online]. 2022, vol.5, n.4, e480. Epub June 26, 2023. ISSN 2594-2158. https://doi.org/10.22201/fc.25942158e.2022.4.480.
In the absence of sustainable management, several rural communities exploit the natural resources of their surroundings, which can cause a direct impact on wild population. Here we report the use of the Black Spiny-tailed Iguana (Ctenosaura pectinata) as a food source by a community in central Mexico.
