Spatial variation of mammal richness, functional and phylogenetic diversity in the Mexican transition zone [PDF]

Community Ecology, 2017
The multi-dimensional analysis of biodiversity addresses several components, including the number of species, as well as their ecological and evolutionary identities. This approach can lead to key biodiversity patterns that remain covered when only species richness is studied.

Historical biogeography of the genus Rhadinaea (Squamata: Dipsadinae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Multiple geological and climatic events have created geographical or ecological barriers associated with speciation events, playing a role in biological diversification in North and Central America.

Assessing spatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity of Mexican mammals for biodiversity conservation

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Phylogenetic diversity is a biodiversity measurement that describes the amount of evolutionary history contained by the taxonomic units in a region. It has proven to be an important metric for determining conservation priorities.

High variability of dung beetle diversity patterns at four mountains of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Insect diversity patterns of high mountain ecosystems remain poorly studied in the tropics. Sampling dung beetles of the subfamilies Aphodiinae, Scarabaeinae, and Geotrupinae was carried out at four volcanoes in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) in ...

The silent earthquake of 2002 in the Guerrero seismic gap, Mexico (Mw=7.6): Inversion of slip on the plate interface and some implications [PDF]

Geofísica Internacional, 2004
We invert GPS position data to map the slip on the plate interface during an aseismic, slow-slip event, which occurred in 2002 in the Guerrero seismic gap of the Mexican subduction zone, lasted for ~4 months, and was detected by 7 continuous GPS ...

Plastome phylogenomics reveals an early Pliocene North- and Central America colonization by long-distance dispersal from South America of a highly diverse bromeliad lineage

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Understanding the spatial and temporal frameworks of species diversification is fundamental in evolutionary biology. Assessing the geographic origin and dispersal history of highly diverse lineages of rapid diversification can be hindered by the lack of ...

Amphibians and Reptiles of the Veracruzan Biogeographic Province of Mexico: Patterns of Diversity, Similarity, and Conservation

Diversity
The Veracruzan biogeographic province is a central part of the Gulf of Mexico slope and serves as an interface between the Neotropical Region, the Mexican Transition Zone, and the Nearctic Region. We provide an overview of amphibian and reptile diversity

Gymnetis stellata (Latreille, 1833) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Gymnetini) in Mexico: an update on its geographic distribution

Graellsia
The fruit beetle Gymnetis stellata (Latreille, 1833) is a widespread species in the Neotropics. However, published records on its distribution in Mexico are scarce.
