– endemic Marah guadalupensis – near-endemic or endemic Perityle incana – endemic Phacelia phyllomanica – endemic Pinus radiata var. binata (Guadalupe Monterey pine) – near-endemic or endemic Satureja palmeri – endemic; rediscovered in 2001–2003 surveys Senecio palmeri – endemic Sphaeralcea palmeri – endemic Sphaeralcea sulphurea – endemic Stephanomeria guadalupensis – endemic Triteleia guadalupensis – endemic Extinctions Numerous taxa have gone extinct due to the habitat destruction by the feral goats, which in turn rendered the endemic fauna vulnerable to predation by introduced feral cats and adverse weather by depriving them of shelter. There have been 5–6 extinctions of birds: Guadalupe Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii brevicauda), the late 1890s Guadalupe spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus consobrinus), the late 1890s Guadalupe caracara (Caracara lutosa), 1906 – intentionally made extinct by humans, ironically because it occasionally preyed on young goats Guadalupe red-shafted flicker (Colaptes auratus rufipileus), 1906 – the island was later recolonized by individuals of an extant mainland red-shafted northern flicker subspecies (which one is unknown) Guadalupe storm petrel (Hydrobates macrodactyla), the 1910s Guadalupe ruby-crowned kinglet (Corthylio calendula obscurus) – close to extinction (if, indeed, it still exists); it was not observed in 2000, despite thorough searches Globally extinct plant taxa from Guadalupe Island are: Castilleja guadalupensis Hesperelaea palmeri Pogogyne tenuiflora and one species of plant incertae sedis Notes Its time zone is Pacific Standard Time References External links Sailing directions, with geographical information Photographs of Isla Guadalupe and sea life Seacology Guadalupe Island Project – updates on ecosystem Islands of Ensenada Municipality Pacific islands of Mexico California chaparral and woodlands Ecoregions of Mexico Islands of Baja California Volcanoes of Baja California Volcanoes of the Pacific Ocean Important Bird Areas of Mexico Important Bird Areas of Oceania Endemic Bird Areas
