Does Participatory Bird Monitoring Provide Accurate Data for Ecological Research? An Experience in Rural Southwestern Mexico. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Trained local people are capable to conduct bird monitoring and generates useful data for testing ecological hypotheses related to anthropogenic impact. Scientific endeavors based on community projects should develop training strategies aimed at enhancing monitors' skills in both bird identification and abundance recording.

The best of two worlds: ecology and evolution of ambophilous plants

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 2, Page 391-420, April 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Ambophily, the mixed mode of wind and insect pollination is still poorly understood, even though it has been known to science for over 130 years. While its presence has been repeatedly inferred, experimental data remain regrettably rare. No specific suite of morphological or ecological characteristics has yet been identified for ambophilous ...

Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) at risk in western Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 829-838, July 2022., 2022
We found a total of 14 stingless bee species, including two new records for the region. We identified three types of bee assemblages: one in hot lowland climates with tropical dry forest vegetation, one in temperate highland climates with mixed oak‐pine forest vegetation, and one in the warm ecotone with mixed subdeciduous forest vegetation between the

The above–belowground functional space of tropical dry forest communities responds to local hydric habitats

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 1003-1014, July 2022., 2022
By comparing aboveground and belowground traits of saplings from two distinctive dry forest plant communities differing in water and light availability we found that in the wetter community traits related to the efficiency of resource capture were decoupled from the drought‐tolerance drought‐avoidance trade‐off thus developing more efficient fine roots.
