• Home>>General Information >>State of the Desert Biome Table of Contents>>Regional Overview.
• As these rather whimsical scenarios suggest, the Sonoran Desert is physically and climatically distinctive in several ways. It is the most tropical of the North American deserts; that is, its southerly, low elevation vegetation subtly extends the ranges of certain freezeintolerant tropical plants and animals northward, where they are ultimately limited by high temperatures and damaging solar radiation. Its gentle winter and spring rains foster a biota related to that of the Mohave Desert, whereas its more tempestuous thunderstorms and hurricane-fringe chubascos of late summer and fall foster a warm season biota related to that of the Chihuahuan Desert and the Neotropics. ...
• Most obvious is the Gulf of California, which has fostered high levels of endemism -- unique sets of species -- on its 21 islands and on peninsular Baja California. ... This is true to varying degrees in all North American deserts, where basin and range physiography sets up an interplay between mountain islands and desert seas. ...
• Biodiversity within the Sonoran Desert Bioregion.
• The Sonoran Desert and adjacent biotic communities do not necessarily rank high among bioregions with regard to the most commonly-cited indicators of terrestrial biodiversity: bird, butterfly or flowering plant species richness per hectare, or per square kilometer. ... Some biogeographers have suggested that diversity of resident species per se is not the best criterion for evaluating the importance of desert habitats; use by migrants, or levels of endemism might be more revealing criteria.
• Such extremely high levels of endemism can not only be found for plants, but for reptiles and small mammals as well. ...
• Búrquez and Martínez-Yrízar (1988) report that current estimates of the plant species richness in the state of Sonora alone may be as high as 4,500 species, or 20% of Mexico's total flora in an area of less than 10% of the country. ... Overall, the region harbors perhaps 130 species of mammals, extrapolating from Hoffmeister's (1986)'s inventory of those found in Sonoran desertscrub and semi-desert grassland in Arizona, in addition to those found on the Gulf Islands. With at least 146 species found on the desert mainland, peninsula and adjacent islands. The region's reptile diversity is also high, with as many as 96 endemic taxa being found among the Gulf Islands, Sonora and Baja California (Flores-Villela and Navarro 1993). ... The eleven endemic fishes of freshwater springs and creeks is perhaps a more revealing measure of the Sonoran Desert's biological value: desert pupfish, Yaqui suckers, Sonora chub, Colorado River squawfish, razorback suckers and other very narrowly-restricted species demonstrate that water in the desert is a limiting factor for evolution as it is for productivity.
• The overall pollinator diversity of the Sonoran region is remarkably high, with upwards of 150 butterfly species, perhaps as many as 1,200 moth species, 17 hummingbird species, and at least 5 nectar-feeding bats servicing the region's flowering plants.
