Two new crocodile species found on the islands in the Quintana Rua

Along with Mexican scientists, McKil University researchers in Mantrie have identified two unknown crocodile species before living on two islands from the Ugadan Peninsula.

Is found Famous Tourism Island Kosumel The Bango Chincharo Biosphere Reserve, 210 kilometers south, is not named two new species, and the formal classification description is pending.

Pango Chinchoro is an apol reef -Tivers and Snorkellers Quintana Ruwin on the southeastern coast-shaped coral formation with a central pond.

The findings help fuel Mexican long -term cultural lust on crocodile From Hispanic period, when crocodiles have been the powerful symbols of fertility, rain and creation, they always make messages when it appears to be the first time, until modern times. On the coast Or Crosses the city streets Or On Lam.

The latest innovations were published in molecular pyelogenitis and evolution. Funds were funded by the Canadian Foundation Innovation (CFI) and Canada’s Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSRC), the National Natural Protected Area of ​​Mexico, and the Mexican Fund (FMCN) to protect nature.

Innovation, announced last week In the news release From the McGilin Science Faculty, which originated from the gene and anatomical analysis of the isolated population, the mainland reveals completely differences from the US capitals, which are usually found in Mexico. Crocodile hard The name of its duality.

Innovations have improved long -term assumptions that underline the US crocodile and emergency security requirements.

McKil’s biology professor Hans Larson said, “Biodiversity is disappearing faster than we lose.” Most crocodile species are already in danger. Rapid coastal growth threatens almost every population. “

Researchers compared the DNA views and skull image system across the Caribbean, Central American and Mexican Pacific crocodiles, found that the island people were genetically different.

“These results are completely unexpected,” said Jose Avila-Servandas, a prominent writer of the study and a former McGl graduate student. “We have considered Crocodile hard Baja is a single species from California to Venezuela. Our study explores the genetic and anatomical variation in these animals in detail. ”

Researchers said that each newly identified organism reproduces less than 1,000.

When the current population seems stable, their restricted habitats – Kosumal’s swamps and coral atol of the Bango Chinchoro – affects them to coastal development and tourism.

Cinzoro Bank, A UNESCO biopic existence, Researchers have noted that fragmented environmental systems need immediate protection for Gosumal’s fragmented environmental systems.

“Only if we know which species is at risk can reduce the rapid loss of biodiversity,” Larson said. “Controlling land growth and carefully implementing care strategies on Kosumel and Pango Chinzero would be important to ensure their survival.”

In the southern border states of Mexico, the study team includes the Sustainable Development and Environmental and Social Challenges of the General Scientific Research Center, El Colegio de La Frandera Surin.

The group seized and released crocodiles to collect blood, size and tissue samples.

The study highlights how the island isolates the evolution of isolation, in order to raise unique organisms of sea currents and habitat.
