Abstract:

The xerophytic scrub located on the lava field produced by the Xitle volcano has been almost completely destroyed by the urban sprawl of Mexico City. The Pedregal de San Ángel Ecological reserve (1.77 km2) offers protection to one of the most important remnant portions. Despite such protection status, this plant community is presently still affected by invasion of exotic species, pollution, illegal extraction of selected species, and recurrent fires. The aim of this study was to update the floristic knowledge of the reserve and to analyze possible changes in the floristic richness and composit

The availability of suitable nesting sites may lead to interspecific competition and result in usurpation of these resources. Nest usurpation may result from a population increase of the usurping species and the limited availability of suitable nesting sites. With raptors, interspecific competition for nesting sites with other non-raptor bird species is a rarely documented phenomenon, particularly when it results in mixed interspecific clutches and misdirected reproductive behaviours.
