Abstract

Black bear distribution and dispersal in Mexico are uncertain. Here we document the occurrence of a black bear in the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve in the Mexican State of Queretaro. We assessed its population membership using microsatellites genetic markers and conclude the individual came from the Nuevo Leon population, which is approximately 200 km north of the study area.
