Abstract:
... The present long-term (1993–2013) study was aimed at identifying the effects of global change on the environmental characteristics and the plankton community of the tropical, high-altitude Lake Alchichica, Puebla, Mexico. We found no statistically significant increasing trend in air temperature, but an increase from 2002 to 2013, and interannual variability in the meteorological variables. Accordi ...

Fisheries in Cuitzeo, the second largest Mexican lake, used to take place on the permanent freshwater East and Central Basins as opposed to the temporal, saline, and initially thought barren West Basin. The 1980 fisheries collapse forced fishers to look for non-conventional fishing products elsewhere in the lake. The West Basin’s temporal, saline-alkaline, and shallow water provides exceptional ha ...

Abstract:
... Urban ecosystems are evolutionarily recent novel environments acting as biodiversity filters. Psittacidae birds are considered successful urban adapters mainly due to their generalist feeding and opportunistic behavior, allowing them to occupy environments from cold temperate to dry xeric areas. Therefore, it is important to understand how these species interact in the urban environment. We studie ...

... Bio-pesticides that utilize beneficial microbial agents represent a new option that can potentially reduce reliance on chemical pesticides. To facilitate control of crop pests, this study includes both selection and characterization of Bacillus thuringiensis strains based on Cry gene content and toxicity evaluation. The result is an effective and non-hazardous polyphagous lepidopteran pest control ...

Abstract:
... Potentially toxic metals and metalloids present in mining residues can affect ecosystems, particularly plant growth and development. In this study we evaluated heavy metal (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb) and As contents in maize (Zea mays L) plants grown in soils collected near (40 m), at intermediate (400 m) and remote (3000 m) distances from mine tailings near Taxco City, Mexico. Soils sampled near and at ...

Abstract:
... Biocrusts are multifunctional elements in deserts that have been widely studied in Australia, China, and the USA. However, biocrust research in Mexico have also increased in the last two decades. Mexico has deserts (Chihuahuan and Sonoran) and semideserts (Querétaro and Tehuacán) with particular environmental characteristics that likely have different effects on biocrust structure and function. We ...

This retrospective and graphical analysis focuses on Indonesia and Mexico from 2000 to 2013. Indonesia is a major biodiesel producer, while Mexico specializes in maize and ethanol. Our findings show that biodiesel production positively affects food security through an increase in daily per ...

Abstract:
... The Macrhybopsis aestivalis complex (nine recognized species of small-bodied, riverine cyprinids) is predicted to have diversified allopatrically in response to prehistoric reorganizations of rivers tributary to the Gulf of México. To flesh out details of this hypothesis, we derived, from previous work, a mitochondrial (ND2) chronogram for interpretation against the background of a published nucle ...

It has been little studied and much of its biology remained unexplored. In the present investigation, several biological aspects of this species, such as the life cycle, fecundity, and longevity were studied under labora ...

Abstract:
... The cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is the major insect pest of cotton in the Americas. Although the demographic and dispersion patterns of the cotton boll weevil in the USA and Mexico were well characterized, in Brazil the information is scarce and does not include the main cotton‐producing regions of the country. Thus, our objective was to apply a phylogeograp ...
