About
The Biota Information System of New Mexico, BISON-M, was
developed for biologists by The New Mexico Department
of Game & Fish, and The Fish & Wildlife Information Exchange
(Conservation Management Institute, VA Tech, Blacksburg, VA). Other
contributing agencies include the US Bureau of Land Management, US Forest
Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Bureau of Reclamation, US
Army Corps of Engineers, New Mexico State Land Office, and Natural Heritage New Mexico.
BISON-M is a compilation of biological information for both vertebrate and invertebrate species which occur in New Mexico. This information is made available to the public in the interest of promoting wildlife interests and to assist with the decision making processes of our stakeholders.
In the past, information was also collected for Arizona species and this information remains within BISON-M but is no longer consistently updated. Several invertebrates are included within BISON-M but lack species information.
Updating the information within BISON-M is a never-ending task. We encourage users to communicate with us if they find information that is not correct. Users should also read and be familiar with the disclaimer policy of this site.
If you have questions or want to report errors, please
contact Chuck Hayes, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, Santa Fe,
NM; e-mail chuck.hayes@state.nm.us.
