Thus, understanding ecological parameters such as abundance and availability results indispensable in establishing appropriate management and conservation strategies of the species. The aims of this study were to determine the abundance of 10 potential preys of three different mesopredators (Leopardus pardalis, Leopardus wiedii and Puma yagouaroundi) found in the Sierra del Abra Tanchipa Biosphere Reserve and to identify changes in relation to the sampling season by means of camera-trapping. The relative abundance index was calculated from independent photographic events. The cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus f loridanus), great curassow (Crax rubra), and the plain chachalaca (Ortalis vetula) showed significant changes in their abundance. The cottontail rabbit was the most abundant species throughout the sampling period. This investigation is the first attempt in evaluating prey abundance in this region; thus, sampling should be continued in order to identify the tendency of the prey’s population and to determine the factors that intervene in its availability.La disponibilidad de alimento es un factor crítico en las poblaciones animales. Así, el entendimiento de parámetros ecológicos como abundancia y disponibilidad, resulta indispensable para establecer acciones de conservación y manejo de las especies. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivos determinar la abundancia de 10 especies de presas potenciales de mesodepredadores (Leopardus pardalis, Leopardus wiedii y Puma yagouaroundi) presentes en la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra del Abra Tanchipa, así como identificar sus cambios en función de la estación de monitoreo por medio de foto–trampeo. Un índice de abundancia relativa se calculó a partir de los eventos fotográficos independientes. El conejo (Sylvilagus f loridanus), hocofaisán (Crax rubra) y chachalaca (Ortalis vetula) presentaron cambios considerables de frecuencia de aparición de un muestreo a otro. El conejo fue la presa más abundante durante el monitoreo. Este estudio corresponde a un primer esfuerzo para evaluar la abundancia de presas en el sitio, por lo tanto, dar seguimiento a las poblaciones es importante para la detección de tendencias a través del tiempo y la identificación de factores que intervienen en su disponibilidadUniversidad Autónoma Chapingo2017-12-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.chapingo.mx/zonas_aridas/article/view/r.rchsza.2017.10.00510.5154/r.rchsza.2017.10.005Revista Chapingo Serie Zonas Áridas; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2017): July-December; 37-49Revista Chapingo Serie Zonas Áridas; Vol. 16 Núm. 2 (2017): julio-diciembre; 37-492007-526Xreponame:Revista Chapingo Serie Zonas Áridasinstname:UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA CHAPINGOinstacron:CHAPINGOspahttps://revistas.chapingo.mx/zonas_aridas/article/view/r.rchsza.2017.10.005/r.rchsza.2017.10.005Derechos de autor 2017 Revista Chapingo Serie Zonas Áridashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs2.revistas.chapingo.mx:article/9572026-01-16T17:02:21Z
