<br />A Bibliography for Natural History of the Cuatro Ci6negas Basin and Environs, Coahuila, Mexico

<br />ABSTRACT
<br />It was suggested at the 1993 meeting of the Desert Fishes Council that it would be useful to all concerned with
<br />conservation of Cuatro Cienegas if a comprehensive bibliography of natural history studies from the area could be
<br />compiled and published. Several members and others subsequently provided input which supplemented my initial
<br />compilation. By the time this issue of the Proceedings was in press, nearly 500 references had been compiled. It
<br />is hoped that publication of this compilation will be useful and will facilitate progress toward conservation of the
<br />basin. Perhaps it will also inspire others to provide corrections and their own bibliographies for subsequent
<br />publication of revisions and updates.
<br />RESUMEN
<br />Una sugerencia hecha durante la reunion del Consejo de Los Peces del Desierto en 1993 fue que serfa muy
<br />Otil para todos una recopilacion y publication de una bibliograffa comprensiva sobre estudios de histona natural del
<br />area. Varios miembros y otros entonces contribuyeron datos suplementarios a los mfos. En la fecha de imprimir
<br />este volumen del Proceedings, la bibliograffa conto con aproximadamente 500 trabajos. Es mi esperanza que sera
<br />util y facilitate progreso hacia la conservation del bolson. Tal vez animara a otros que provean correcciones y sus
<br />propios bibliograffas para publicaciones futuros de revisiones y actual izaciones.
<br />CONTRIBUTED PAPER
<br />The present bibliography has been accumulated and
<br />compiled since the late 1950's, but still remains
<br />incomplete. Both old and new references have been
<br />found and added and errors corrected each year. Some
<br />citations (marked with asterisks) also remain less than
<br />complete, lacking in pagination or some other feature.
<br />It was decided to provide the bibliography in its present
<br />form anyway, to stimulate research and interest and
<br />emphasize the uniqueness of the remarkable
<br />intermontane basin of Cuatro Cienegas in northern
<br />Mexico. It should prove useful not only for workers
<br />dealing with the immediate area and its biota, but for
<br />those dealing with the Chihuahuan Desert in general as
<br />well. Hopefully there are not too many errors or
<br />omissions. Most papers listed here deal specifically
<br />with the Cuatro Cienegas basin and its biota, but some
<br />are included because the region, some characteristic
<br />organism, or another feature was mentioned or
<br />referenced in the context of comparisons, revisionary
<br />works, or other such areas or biotic elements.
<br />The bibliography is biased toward aquatic biology,
<br />my principal area of research. Fortunately, Professor
<br />Donald J. Pinkava, Department of Botany, Arizona
<br />State University, helped with botanical literature,
<br />Professor Salvador Contreras-Balderas, Universidad
<br />Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon,
<br />Mexico, assisted with Mexican references, Dr. Barbara
<br />M. Winsborough of Austin, Texas, added citations on
<br />stromatolites, and Dr. Clarence J. ("Jack") McCoy,
<br />Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, tracked
<br />contributions in herpetology. Their assistance was
<br />deeply appreciated, but any errors or omissions in these
<br />areas are clearly my responsibility and should not
<br />reflect upon their efforts. Appreciation is further
<br />extended in advance for any additions, corrections, or
<br />suggestions for deletions, since I intend to continue this
<br />compilation for the foreseeable future.
<br />Sadly, Jack McCoy passed away in 1993. This
<br />bibliography is dedicated to his memory in fond
<br />recollection and heartfelt appreciation for good times in
<br />Cuatro Cienegas and elsewhere, and for his years, of
<br />dedication to conservation in general and specifically of
<br />the basin and its biota.
