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....

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...

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...
