Conservation status according to the IUCN Red List (2014) and Mexican legislation ( SEMARNAT 2010). IUCN categories: (LC) Least Concern, (DD) Data Deficient, (NT) Near Threatened,and (V) Vulnerable.NOM- 059: (Th) Threatened, (En) Endangered,and (SP) Special protection.The method by which the species registration was obtained in the study sites is indicated by a P when it was obtained through camera traps, L when it was obtained through literature, and O when it was obtained by direct observation (of living animals or organic remains from traffic accidents or found in the field).In the cases where literature was the information source,the superscript indicates the specific citation.
