TextPublication details: Charlotte, NC : 1995. University of North Carolina,Description: 13 p. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Mexico has a broad spectrum of habitats, from temperate deserts and mountain forests to tropical evergreen forests, and a remarkably diverse biota. It has the highest reptile diversity of any country in the world (717 species, with 53 percent endemic) and the second highest level of mammal diversity (449 species, 33 percent endemic) (McNeely et al.1990). The total of 1,010 bird species is almost 30 percent higher than Canada and the continental U.S. combined and includes about 19 percent of the world's diurnal birds of prey. Over 15 percent of Mexico's 2,000 plant genera and some 50-60 percent of the projected 30,000 plant species are endemic (McNeely et al. 1990).
