Sapos y ranas de Salvatierra, Guanajuato: una mirada a su conocimiento

Frogs and toads are animals of scientific and cultural interest. In the state of Guanajuato, 23 species are recorded, howewer, for the municipality of Salvatierra, there is no information available about anurans, wich due to predominantly agricultural activities in the municipality, may be affected by hábitat loss, water pollution, and specimen extraction, all of wich impact their populations. In this document, we present some data about the six species of anurans: Plateau Toad (Anaxyrus compactilis), Mexican Spadefoot (Spea multiplicata), Barking Frog (Craugastor augusti), Canyon Tree Frog (Dryophytes arenicolor), Mountain Tree Frog (D. eximius), and Río Grande Leopard frog (Lhitobates berlandieri) that live in Salvatierra and are little known to the people in the region. The species mentioned should undoubtedly be subjected specific studies to assess their current risk status, as they are a fundamental part of the state herpetofauna.
