Mexico ants: incidence and abundance along the Nearctic-Neotropical interface
(Wiley, 2019)"Mexico is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, with an important proportion of endemism mainly because of the convergence of the Nearctic and Neotropical biogeographic regions, which generate great diversity ... -
Coupled plant traits adapted to wetting/drying cycles of substrates co?define niche multidimensionality
(Wiley, 2020)"Theories attempting to explain species coexistence in plant communities have argued in favour of species' capacities to occupy a multidimensional niche with spatial, temporal and biotic axes. We used the concept of ... -
In search of sulfate-reducing consortia able to degrade acetate under acidic conditions
(Wiley, 2020)"BACKGROUND Sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) can help to remediate acidic effluents containing metals. One drawback of sulfate reduction is that some SRM do not completely oxidize the substrate to CO2 and acetic acid ... -
Methane production enhanced by reduced graphene oxide in an anaerobic consortium supplied with particulate and soluble substrates
(Wiley, 2020)"BACKGROUND Graphene materials have extensively been applied in several industries due to their enhanced properties. Predictably, these materials also end up in wastewaters generated from industrial sectors, and their ... -
Biorecovery of Metals from a Stainless Steel Industrial Effluent through Denitrification Performed in a Novel Anaerobic Swirling Fluidized Membrane Bioreactor (ASFMBR)
(American Chemical Society, 2020)"A novel technology was developed for the treatment of a stainless steel wastewater, which contains high nitrate concentration (6.8 g N-NO3–/L), acidic pH (pH 3.3), and high concentration of metals. Denitrification was ... -
Reconocimiento y usos tradicionales de plantas en una comunidad indígena migrante de San Luis Potosí, México
(Sociedad Botánica de México, 2020)Antecedentes: Existen pocas investigaciones sobre el efecto de la migración circular en el conocimiento botánico tradicional de México, particularmente en la Huasteca Potosina. Preguntas: 1) ¿El reconocimiento de las ... -
Synthesis of Bamboo-like Multiwall Carbon Nanotube–Poly(Acrylic Acid-co-Itaconic Acid)/NaOH Composite Hydrogel and its Potential Application for Electrochemical Detection of Cadmium(II)
(MDPI, 2020)"A poly(acrylic acid-co-itaconic acid) (PAA-co-IA)/NaOH hydrogel containing bamboo-type multiwall carbon nanotubes (B-MWCNTs) doped with nitrogen (PAA-co-IA/NaOH/B-MWCNTs) was synthesized and characterized by SEM, absorption ... -
Effect of aridity on species assembly in gypsum drylands: a response mediated by the soil affinity of species
(Oxford University Press, 2020)"Previous studies found that plant communities on infertile soils are relatively resistant to climatic variation due to stress tolerance adaptations. However, the species assemblies in gypsum soil habitats require further ... -
Massive Influx of Pelagic Sargassum spp. on the Coasts of the Mexican Caribbean 2014-20: Challenges and Opportunities
(MDPI, 2020)"Since late 2014, the Mexican Caribbean coast has periodically received massive, atypical influxes of pelagic Sargassum spp. (sargasso). Negative impacts associated with these influxes include mortality of nearshore benthic ... -
Preferencias de los granívoros con respecto al tamaño y la calidad de las bellotas en un bosque de Quercus en la zona centroseptentrional de México
(Museu de Ciencies Naturals de Barcelona, 2020)"Preferences of granivores regarding rhe size and quality of acorns in a Quercus forest in central杗orthern Mexico. Acorns of the species of the genus Quercus are highly appreciated by a diverse group of animals. It remains ... -
Phytochemical and Pharmacological Study of the Eysenhardtia Genus
(MDPI, 2020)"The participation of natural products in health care has been remarkable, and today they continue to play a key role in the discovery and development of new treatments. Phytochemical studies together with pharmacological ... -
Niche conservatism in a plant with long invasion history: the case of the Peruvian peppertree (Schinus molle, Anacardiaceae) in Mexico
(Meise Botanic GardenRoyal Botanical Society of Belgium, 2020)"Background and aim - Invasive plants should only colonize habitats meeting the environmental conditions included in their native niches. However, if they invade habitats with novel environmental conditions, this can induce ... -
Photochemical and electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide thin films: tuning the nature of surface defects
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)"Individual and combined photo(electro)chemical reduction treatments of graphene oxide thin films have been performed to modulate the type of defects introduced into the graphene sheets during the reduction. These were ... -
Toxicological Screening of Four Bioactive Citroflavonoids: In Vitro, In Vivo, and In Silico Approaches
