| dc.description.abstract | The present contribution is a case study of the possibilities of using data from world scientific collections to
understand the distribution and conservation of Mexican birds. Information was gathered on specimens from
Mexico housed in 40 scientific collections in Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Europe. This information
was compiled in a centralized database and various analyses were developed to address historical patterns of
ornithological investigations in Mexico: current and potential distribution areas of the species; patterns of species
richness, endemism and seasonality; and conservation applications. | |
