Mammal defaunation leads to biotic homogenization of plant communities in tropical rainforests. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Biotic homogenization is the process in which species communities become increasingly similar across different regions over time. This phenomenon has substantial ecological, evolutionary, and economic implications, primarily driven by human activities such as habitat destruction, invasive species introduction, and climate change.

Coyote Range Expansion in the Human-Modified Tropics of Mesoamerica. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Coyotes have expanded their range into southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, increasingly occupying human‐modified landscapes. This expansion is ongoing, with rising detection rates over time and records in both disturbed and forested environments, highlighting a paradox where anthropogenic change enables native carnivore expansion.

Ecological Processes Shaping Marine Microbial Assemblages Diverge Between Equatorial and Temperate Time-Series. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Marine microbial communities are structured by a complex interplay of deterministic and stochastic processes, yet how these vary across latitudes remains poorly understood. Most long‐term microbial observatories are restricted to temperate regions, limiting our ability to assess latitudinal contrasts in microbial dynamics.

Twoline Skiffia's Latency to Exit a Refuge and to Locate Food When Socialising With Invaders and Raising Temperatures [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Aquatic ecosystems are reservoirs of biodiversity and are highly threatened. Among the main threats to biodiversity are invasive species and global warming, the later has allowed the establishment of invasive species from originally warmer climates ...

20 Years of Global Change on the Limnology and Plankton of a Tropical, High-Altitude Lake

Diversity, 2022
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.

Seasonal and Interannual Dynamics of Pelagic Rotifers in a Tropical, Saline, Deep Lake

Diversity, 2022
This is the first long-term study (monthly samples at two 4-year intervals: 1998 to 2001 and 2013 to 2016) on rotifers in a saline, deep lake. The pelagic rotifer assemblage of Lake Alchichica is simple and comprised by two species, both new and most ...

Microcrustacean (Cladocera and Copepoda) Assemblages of a Tropical Karst Lake District

Diversity, 2022
The taxonomic richness, composition, abundance, and biomass of pelagic microcrustaceans (Cladocera and Copepoda) were determined in 17 lakes of the “Lagunas de Montebello” National Park, a karst lake district in Chiapas State, southeast Mexico.

Phytoplankton Biodiversity in Two Tropical, High Mountain Lakes in Central Mexico

Diversity, 2022
Lakes El Sol and La Luna, inside the crater of the Nevado de Toluca volcano, Central Mexico, are the only two perennial high mountain lakes [HML] in the country. HML are considered among the most comparable ecosystems worldwide. These lakes are “extreme”
