The feeding habits, degree of host specificity, and mating systems were examined for 96 species of Scolytidae and Platypodidae in a tropical deciduous forest at Chamela, Mexico. The dominant feeding habit was phloeophagy (59.4%), followed by xylomycetophagy (13.5%), myelophagy (13.5%), and xylophagy (12.5%). Most phloeophagous species were monophagous (

Vegetation cover change detection in Chamela-Cuixamala, Mexico
SPIE Proceedings, 2009In Mexico, and everywhere else, the ecosystems are constantly changing either by natural factors or anthropogenic activity. Remote sensing has been a key tool to monitoring these changes throughout history and also to understanding the ecological dynamics.

Forest Ecology and Management, 2009
Abstract Tropical deforestation and habitat fragmentation in areas around conservation areas have been an important element for discussion in the conservation and policy-making community. In this paper, we evaluate land cover change processes around one of the most important tropical dry forest reserves in the Americas: the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere

Mantispidae (Neuroptera) of Mexico's National University Biological Stations Chamela and Los Tuxtlas
Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 2009Adult specimens of Mantispidae were recorded from the insect collections at UNAM's (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico) Chamela and Los Tuxtlas biological stations, in Jalisco and Veracruz states, respectively. The insect collection at Chamela had representatives of Plega dactylota Rehn, Nolima victor Navas, Climaciella brunnea (Say ...

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2016
Ecosystem engineering by insect herbivores occurs as the result of structural modification of plants manipulated by insects. However, only few studies have evaluated the effect of these modifications on the plant responses induced by stem-borers that act as ecosystem engineers.

Stage distributions of cunaxids in soil and litter at Chamela, Jalisco, Mexico
2010Cunaxid mites are considered to be important predators in soil communities, but little is known of the distribution over their development stages. We studied the stage distribution of edaphic cunaxid mites in a deciduous dry forest in the Pacific region of Mexico.

Climate of Chamela, Jalisco, and trends in the south coastal region of Mexico
Archives for Meteorology, Geophysics, and Bioclimatology Series B, 1986The warm, seasonally dry climate of Mexico's south coast is represented by data from the biological station at Chamela, Jalisco, and is compared with 26 other localities. The mean annual temperature was 24.9 °C; monthly mean maximums were equitable (29.1° to 32.0°) but minimums showed significant seasonal changes (14.8° to 22.9°).

An approach to an optimal T-head jetty: a numerical simulation case in Chamela Bay, Mexico
Coastal Engineering Journal, 2018A mathematical optimization problem is analyzed to obtain the most suitable T-head jetty design in an artificial tidal inlet system. In this study, the T-head jetty is considered optimal when two constraints are satisfied, specifically (1) the velocity of the currents and (2) the turbulence generated by the flow, both are minimal. These constraints are

Tropical dry forests are among the most exploited and less conserved of large tropical ecosystems. This study shows advanced remote sensing techniques used to determine the land cover status of the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve (Mexico). Within the context of the primary basins in the region, we show tropical dry forests at three successional ...
