Diversity Hotspots and Vulnerability of Pine Species in the Sierra Madre Occidental, Western Mexico. [PDF]
The present study employs a modeling approach to examine the current and future distribution of 19 pine species in the Sierra Madre Occidental, Mexico. This was done in order to identify areas with high potential for pine species richness and to determine which species are at risk due to climate change under different projections.

Dissimilar climatic niche is predictive of contrasting historical demographic changes and altitudinal shifts in related oak species (Quercus). [PDF]
Abstract Premise Comparative surveys allow us to characterize the influence of specific factors on population genetic diversity and structure. We conducted a comparative phylogeographic study for three Mexican oak species to identify how their climatic niche preferences and breadth may have influenced historical demography and range shifts during ...

High Elevation Occurrences of Jaguars (<i>Panthera onca</i>, Linnaeus 1758) (Mammalia, Felidae) in Northwestern Mexico, With a Record of Collaborative Interactions. [PDF]
Jaguars in the northern end of their distribution have recently become the center of conservation efforts; however, the State of Chihuahua has been underrepresented in monitoring projects. We present five new records of jaguars in high altitudes as well as the first evidence of two jaguars exhibiting cooperative behavior in Mexico.

Historical biogeography of the genus Rhadinaea (Squamata: Dipsadinae) [PDF]
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.

Environmental suitability throughout the late quaternary explains population genetic diversity. [PDF]
Genetic variation among populations is reflected in biogeographic patterns for many species, but general rules of spatial genetic variation have not been established. In this paper, we establish a theoretical framework based on projecting environmental Grinellian niches back through time to relate the present geographic distribution of population ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
