Seagrasses in the eastern Pacific are mainly confined to temperate and subtropical regions of North America, with limited reports presence Central America Chile. We report a unique monospecific meadow Halophila baillonii for Eastern Tropical Golfo Dulce, southern coast Costa Rica. This constitutes first sighting seagrasses from Rica since disappearance only reported seagrass meadow, Ruppia maritima baillonii, 1996. Twenty sediment cores (5 cm diam., 15 deep) were taken at 10 locations...
β-diversity has been under continuous debate, with a current need to better understand the way in which new wave of measures work. We assessed results 12 incidence-based indices. Our gradual species composition overlap between paired assemblages considering progressive differences richness show following: (i) four indices (β-2, β-3, β-3.s, and βr) should be used cautiously given that no shared retrieve could misinterpreted; (ii) all conceived specifically as partitioned components...
Diversity and abundance of echinoderms from the reef lagoon at Cahuita National Park, Caribbean Costa Rica. A total 15 species (one asteroid, seven ophiuroids, five echinoids two holothurians) were recorded Park lagoon, between September October 2003, using a 1 m2 quadrant. The sites with coral substrate algae most diverse, while those seagrass sand least. Ophiuroids abundant group 170 individuals, asteroids least abundant. Adding other studies reports to this study, 23 have been found which...
El maíz es un alimento muy importante para los mexicanos y muchas de las comidas más representativas del país están hechas a base este grano. Hoy día está seriamente amenazado por el cambio climático, ya que actividades humanas han aumentado gases efecto invernadero en la atmósfera, modificando clima planeta. Estos cambios ambientales pueden poner riesgo cultivo productividad todo México e incidir manera negativa seguridad alimentaria nacional. Este trabajo muestra que, 2050, raza Mushito...
Abstract Corn ( Zea mays L.) is the basis of Mexican diet. In this country, corn produced by about 2.5 million small farmers and grown on 8.4 hectares in rainfed agriculture. However, its production not enough to meet demand. Climate change may negatively impact production, putting Mexico's food security at risk. The main goal work was identify which races can find favorable environmental conditions future under climate scenarios Sierra Madre Oriental. a region highly vulnerable change;...
Species that coexist nowadays will not necessarily match their distributions in the future due to different climate suitability. The aim of this study was identify potential distribution areas where bark beetle Dendroctonus adjunctus and six its host tree species overlap under change scenarios. Potential maps were built with presence data using MaxLike R library. For each projection, we used WorldClim bioclimatic variables, current (2050, 2070) condition data, two greenhouse gas...
