Effect of cold storage, heat, smoke and charcoal on breaking seed dormancy of Arctostaphylos pungens HBK (Ericaceae)
(2011)"We evaluated the effect of cold storage and fire-related cues on seed germination of Arctostaphylos pungens HBK (Mexican Manzanita), a common shrub in poorly managed pine-oak forests in Durango, Mexico. Because this shrub ... -
Flower, fruit phenology and flower traits in Cordia boissieri (Boraginaceae) from northeastern Mexico
(2016-05)"We characterized variations in Cordia boissieri flowers and established if these variations occur between plants or between flowering events. Flowering and fruiting was measured for 256 plants. A GLM test was used to ... -
Improved predictions of the geographic distribution of invasive plants using climatic niche models
(2016-05)"Climatic niche models for invasive plants are usually constructed with occurrence records taken from literature and collections. Because these data neither discriminate among life-cycle stages of plants (adult or juvenile) ... -
La Guacamaya verde ( Ara militaris ) en la Sierra Gorda de Guanajuato, México
(2016-08)"I report a new displacement route of the Military macaw (Ara militaris) population located in Sotano del Barro (Querétaro) to the northeastern Guanajuato. This record suggests that Military macaw perform seasonal movements ... -
Ecophysiological and anatomical mechanisms behind the nurse effect: which are more important? A multivariate approach for cactus seedlings
(2013-11)"Background: Cacti establish mostly occurs under the canopy of nurse plants which provide a less stressful micro-environment, although mechanisms underlying this process are unknown. The impact of the combination of light ... -
Deforestation impacts on bat functional diversity in tropical landscapes
(2016-12)"Functional diversity is the variability in the functional roles carried out by species within ecosystems. Changes in the environment can affect this component of biodiversity and can, in turn, affect different processes, ... -
Importancia de un árbol tropical (Dendropanax arboreus) para aves migratorias neárticas en México
(2009)"En sus sitios reproductivos diversas especies de aves migratorias se alimentan principalmente de insectos, sin embargo, durante su migración en los neotrópicos comen cantidades significantes de frutos. Este estudio a ... -
Conservación y restauración de bosques mexicanos en el escenario del cambio global: una responsabilidad compartida con beneficios múltiples
(2011)"Nuestro planeta enfrenta hoy un fuerte cambio inducido por las actividades humanas, el cual usualmente se denomina Cambio Global. La creciente preocupación sobre las consecuencias socioeconómicas de este fenómeno dio lugar ... -
Germinación y establecimiento de plantas nativas del matorral tamaulipeco y una especie introducida en un gradiente de elevación
(2007)"Con el fin de determinar si el calentamiento global podría influir en la ampliación altitudinal de hábitat en el noreste de México, se evaluó la germinación y el crecimiento de cuatro especies de plantas en un gradiente ... -
Haemosporidian parasite prevalence, parasitemia, and diversity in three resident bird species at a shrubland dominated landscape of the Mexican highland plateau
(2016-05)"Background: Studies of avian haemosporidians allow understanding how these parasites affect wild bird populations, and if their presence is related to factors such as habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation, and ... -
Seed germination of Opuntia species from an aridity gradient in Central Mexico
(2010)"In the Mexican highlands there are several aridity gradients affecting Opuntia species composition and its biological function. Since environmental variations can affect plant traits like seed morphology as well as related ... -
Relación entre atributos ecofisiológicos de la especie vulnerable Pinus caribaea Morelet var. caribaea y características ambientales de ocho localidades en pinar del río, Cuba
(2009-05)"Pinus caribaea Morelet var. caribaea Barret & Golfari es una especie vulnerable, debido a la fragmentación de su hábitat y a su extracción. En Pinar del Río, Cuba, las poblaciones naturales de esta especie se encuentran ... -
Análisis del concepto de sostenibilidad en la legislación mexicana usando el paradigma de desarrollo de las zonas secas
(2012)"Utilizando el paradigma de Desarrollo de las Zonas Secas (DDP, por sus siglas in ingles) este trabajo analiza la relación entre el discurso legal, el desempeño de las instituciones gubernamentales y el manejo de sistemas ... -
Carbonaceous and protein constituents in dairy wastewater lead to a differentiated current generation in microbial fuel cells (MFCs)
(2014)"The effect of real dairy wastewater (DWW) additions on the current density generated by a bioanode was evaluated in a half cell configuration under potentiostatic control, thus simulating the anodic chamber of a Microbial ... -
Studies of adsorption of heavy metals onto spent coffee ground: equilibrium, regeneration, and dynamic performance in a fixed-bed column
(2016)"Equilibrium and dynamic adsorption of heavy metals onto spent coffee ground (SCG) were studied. The equilibrium adsorption of Cd2+, Cu2+, and Pb2+ in a batch system was modeled by an ion-exchange model (IEM) based on an ... -
Effect of light on seed germination of succulent species from the southern Chihuahuan Desert: comparing germinability and relative light germination
(2010)"Light requirements for cactus seed germination have been considered to be associated with their life form, but this has not been thoroughly studied for other succulent species. In this study, we performed a light and ... -
New distributional records for the endagered worthen's sparrow Spizella wortheni in San Luis Potosí, Mexico
(2015-08)"El rango de distribución restringido y el pequeño tamaño poblacional del gorrión de Worthen han ocasionado que esta ave sea considerada una especie amenazada en México y a nivel internacional. Aquí reportamos nuevos ... -
The andean forest soil seed bank in two successional stages in northeastern Colombia
(2016-12)"Background: Soil seed banks play an important role in post-disturbance regeneration and succession of species from different successional stages. Questions: 1) What is the most effective method for determining the ... -
