Abstract
The Mexican mud turtle, Kinosternon integrum, is a native Mexican species with a wide distribution. However, despite its abundance, information on its demographics, natural history, and threats is scarce. We report 18 new records of K. integrum in the states of Oaxaca and Puebla. These data highlight threats such as contamination of remaining aquatic habitats and illegal extraction, which have not yet been considered in risk assessments for the species.
