Antecedentes: Stenocereus thurberi es una cactácea de importancia biocultural, fuera del área mesoamericana. La información sobre usos, prácticas manejo e económica escasa. Preguntas: ¿cuál el conocimiento, usos y formas S. en un Mesoamérica, como Baja California Sur? papel que juega esta especie la economía local regional? Especies estudio: Sitio años Sur, México. 2023-2024. Métodos: Se aplicaron 128 entrevistas semi estructuradas a pobladores 53 localidades; los datos obtenidos se...
The presence of Cactophagus spinolae in 2 Cactaceae not previously recorded is reported here: pitayasStenocereus pruinosus and S. stellatus regions central Mexico. Damage on stems produced by larvae ofthis weevil. In general, damage exhibited low frequency, bit it statistically higher stellatus, theTehuacán Valley region. When attacks the main branch, whole plant dies. This represents a seriousthreat to pitayas Mexico, because their recognized ecological, cultural, economical values....
Antecedentes y Objetivos: En México existen alrededor de 156 especies gimnospermas nativas pertenecientes a seis familias. Para el estado Oaxaca, se registran 45 sus habitantes poseen un sobresaliente conocimiento ancestral en uso tradicional este grupo taxonómico. El presente estudio contribuye al registro documentación del las evaluar la importancia familias botánicas como fuente recursos, analizar relaciones existentes entre los grupos étnicos riqueza útiles, así comparar registros...
The ethnobotanical importance of the family Piperaceae is recognized mainly for its medicinal properties. A total 106 species two genera this ( Piper and Peperomia) have been collected in Oaxaca, but only 18 are recorded scientific publications as medicinal, edible, veterinary, or ritual plants. objectives study to describe traditional knowledge uses areas high biocultural diversity Oaxaca analyze relationship between geographic distribution with records among ethnic groups. Fieldwork was...
Background: Field observations of damage in columnar cacti central Mexico, and previous evidence scientific literature, indicated the absence systematic information about kinds damage, vectors, pathogens, this botanical family. Questions: How is knowledge defense mechanisms cacti? Is there a pattern causal agents their geographical distribution Americas? Methods: A database 58 taxa by 51 types was developed from literature recorded ISI Web Knowledge, Cabdirect, Google Scholar, it analyzed...
Lycophyta and Polypodiophyta have been used by humans worldwide since ancient times, yet little has documented. This paper analyzes discusses the different uses of these plants in three Priority Terrestrial Regions (PTR) conservation state Oaxaca Mexico. Our objectives were to: 1) document traditional knowledge among ethnic mestizo groups; 2) analyze variation use taxa groups, terms altitudinal distribution type vegetation habitats supporting species. Fifty species two varieties useful from...
Columnar cacti are distributed naturally in arid and semi-arid zones of America. Almost 50% found Mexico, were 45 species have been used for 8,500 years currently commercialized regional or international markets. Rot damage monopodic stems branches was observed recently columnar Central Mexico. Previous reports suggested Cactophagus spinolae (Gyllenhal) Scyphophorus acupunctactus Gyllenhal as the main causes damage, both feeding on new hosts. This paper recorded organisms associated with...
The first report of transgenic maize in Mexico was published 2001 for Oaxaca, Mexico. Subsequent studies were controversial, because most the samples analyzed from different years and localities, negative. purpose this paper is to publish records presence Priority Terrestrial Regions contribute understanding movement through seed management practices. During 2008-2018, 66 municipalities 148 belonging 3 PTRs monitored. A total 1,210 farmers surveyed on practices associated with management,...
Abstract Across the process of domestication, human selection produces changes in target attributes as well that are not necessarily desired by humans due to pleiotropic or linked genes. In this paper we addressed, correlated between genetic diversity, damage level, defense mechanisms (resistance and tolerance), fitness domestication Stenocereus pruinosus (Otto ex Pfeiff.) Buxbaum stellatus (Pfeiff.) Riccobono, an endemic columnar cactus south-central Mexico. One hundred eighty individuals...
The state of Oaxaca represents an important pool maize in Mexico.Previous studies have indicated the presence many local varieties and agronomic races, mainly at Northern Sierra Central Valleys.The Southern has not been studied, spite indigenous Zapotec communities, which cultivate maize, among other crops, preserved varieties.The present study is focused on following questions: Which diversity, terms traditional region Los Loxicha?Does Maize diversity follow a pattern distribution along...
Midwives/healers assist women in rural communities Mexico and use medicinal plants to relieve different conditions related reproductive health. This knowledge has been passed down preserved through generations. The aims of the study were: 1) document floristic richness used health Zapotec from Sierra Norte Oaxaca; 2) events, stages, during health; 3) provide evidence on continuity midwifery practices region. We interviewed 100 women, 11 midwives/healers, municipal authorities four...
Las pitayas son los frutos de un grupo plantas que pertenecen al género botánico Stenocereus, el cuál está representado por 21 especies, en su mayoría endémicas México. Poblaciones humanas diversas las consumen y existen evidencias este uso desde épocas prehispánicas, mayor medida poblaciones Mesoamérica, quienes han llegado a someterlas incipientemente procesos domesticación (ejemplo: Stenocereus pruinosus, S. stellatus). Esto se puede apreciar comparar obtenidos recolecta silvestres contra...
The use of several columnar cacti stretches back thousand years and is still going at the present. In many them, their populations within range distribution, are subject to three forms management, including wild, in situ, cultivated, each one exposed different types damage, biological or physical. This study attempted characterize damage affecting pitayas (Stenocereus pruinosus S. stellatus) central southern Mexico, analyze relationship between some under its effect on reproductive success....
Antecedentes: La selección humana favorece rasgos de interés, pero también implica cambios en otros correlacionados. En especies con domesticación incipiente, la variación intensidad genera una diferenciación entre sus poblaciones que permite analizar estos cambios. Pregunta: ¿Cómo son los seleccionados y correlacionados diferente forma manejo A. cristata ? Especie estudio: Anoda es especie aprovechada como quelite región centro-sur México. Sitio años Región Montaña Guerrero 2008 2009....
Antecedentes y Objetivos: En Oaxaca, México, se reportan 26 especies del género Mammillaria; siete de ellas endémicas. Mammillaria deherdtiana subsp. dodsonii está catalogada como amenazada. Los objetivos trabajo fueron describir las características demográficas, reproductivas aspectos etnobotánicos su uso, así los florísticos bioclimáticos localidades estudiadas. Métodos: enero 2015 encontraron dos en la Sierra Norte. Entre marzo ubicaron cinco transectos 5 m2 una ellas, cuales registró el...
Abstract Stenocereus pruinosus and S. stellatus are columnar cacti from central Mexico, distributed in the Valle de Tehuacán Mixteca Baja regions. Both species have populations subject to three different forms of human management: wild, situ cultivated, growing sympatry. The objectives present study were compare variation damage levels, defense mechanisms fitness components between 1) both due differences intensity management; 2) 3) two regions with management practices physical conditions,...
