description In Wildlife Management and Conservation Units (UMAs), both livestock and hunting are common activities. However, the knowledge of nutritional aspects that increases the economic yield and ensures the sustainable use of resources is still limited. Therefore, the objective of this research was to generate knowledge about forage selectivity of some ungulates to conserve their populations and habitats. The relationship between forage uses and availability was determined for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (O. hemionus), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis mexicana) and cattle (Bostaurus) in the UMA Rancho Noche Buena, Sonora, Mexico. During August-November 2022, plots were sampled to identify the plant species present in the diet of ungulates. The chi-squared test was used to evaluate the hypothesis that forage plants are consumed in proportion to their availability by each herbivore species. Plant selectivity was determined using Bonferroni intervals and Ivlev’s selectivity index. Bonferroni intervals identified a higher percentage of rejected species, while the Ivlev index highlighted a higher percentage of selected species. Among the plants preferred by ungulates, Olneya tesota and Simmondsia chinensis were found. Understanding the foraging behavior of wild ungulates in interaction with cattle is essential for developing sustainable management strategies.

Sin embargo, el conocimiento sobre los aspectos alimenticios que permitan incrementar el rendimiento económico y garantizar el uso sostenible de los recursos es aún limitado. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación fue generar conocimiento sobre la selectividad forrajera de algunos ungulados para conservar sus poblaciones y hábitats. Se determinó la relación entre el uso y la disponibilidad del forraje para el venado cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus), venado bura (O. hemionus), borrego cimarrón (Ovis canadensis mexicana) y ganado bovino (Bos taurus) en la UMA RanchoNoche Buena, Sonora, México. Durante agosto y noviembre de 2022, se realizaron muestreos en parcelas para identificar las especies vegetales presentes en la dieta de los ungulados. Se empleó la prueba de ji-cuadrada para evaluar la hipótesis de que las plantas forrajeras son consumidas en proporción a su disponibilidad por cada especie de herbívoro. La selectividad de las plantas se identificó con los intervalos de Bonferroni y el índice de selectividad de Ivlev. Los intervalos de Bonferroni identificaron un mayor porcentaje de especies rechazadas, mientras que el índice de Ivlev destacó un mayor porcentaje de especies seleccionadas. Entre las plantas preferidas por las especies de ungulados, se encontraron Olneya tesota ySimmondsia chinensis. Comprender el comportamiento forrajero de ungulados silvestres en interacción conel ganado bovino es fundamental para desarrollar estrategias de manejo sostenible.Universidad Autónoma Chapingo2025-03-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.chapingo.mx/zonas_aridas/article/view/134610.5154/r.rchsza.2023.10.008Revista Chapingo Serie Zonas Áridas; Vol. 23 (2024): enero - diciembre; 39–51Revista Chapingo Serie Zonas Áridas; Vol. 23 (2024): enero - diciembre; 39–512007-526Xreponame:Revista Chapingo Serie Zonas Áridasinstname:UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA CHAPINGOinstacron:CHAPINGOspahttps://revistas.chapingo.mx/zonas_aridas/article/view/1346/r.rchsza.2023.10.008Derechos de autor 2025 Revista Chapingo Serie Zonas Áridashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs2.revistas.chapingo.mx:article/13462026-01-16T17:02:22Z
