Nuevos registros de la ardilla voladora (Glaucomys volans) en Puebla: implicaciones de su presencia en áreas de aprovechamiento forestal

We report two new localities for the flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans) in Puebla, Mexico. First reported from the state in 1997 based on a mummified specimen found in 1994, our new records are based on a total of seven specimens from two different localities in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, located at least 70 km NE from the first record and 14 km NE from the nearest locality record (Tepozan, Hidalgo). These specimens were found in communal forest management units and we recommend that forest management practices include protection of trees used as nesting sites.
