Ants (Formicidae) in Mexico have usually been undersampled despite their ecological significance and utility as environmental service providers bioindicators. This study estimates the species richness narrow endemic number of ants across Mexico. It also documents presence one newly recorded 19 new state-based records 14 from central north No surveys performed most localities where we report those records, suggesting need for a higher sampling effort country. We present an ant estimation grid...
Mexico is one of the most biodiverse countries in world, with an important proportion endemism mainly because convergence Nearctic and Neotropical biogeographic regions, which generate great diversity species turnover at different spatial scales. However, our knowledge Mexican ant biota limited to a few well-studied taxa, we lack comprehensive synthesis biodiversity information. For instance, available literature on fauna refers only lists by states, or focused regions country, prevents...
La leptospirosis es una enfermedad zoonótica de potencial epidémico causada por la bacteria Leptospira cual tiene más 200 serovares y que infecta a varias especies animales. presente revisión busca conocer el estado guarda investigación en perros, así como identificar los existen México finalmente reportar dos casos positivos perros del municipio Victoria, Tamaulipas. Se realizó bibliométrica través base datos Web of Science Clarivate durante periodo 2000 al 2023 donde se encontraron un...
Abstract Fruit fly pestiferous species within the genus Anastrepha Schiner (Diptera: Tephritidae) affect fruit growing in northeastern Mexico, particularly citrus and mango production. Little is known about population fluctuation of these pests protected natural areas adjacent to agricultural environments. This study aimed compare analyse temporal profiles adult populations pest inhabiting zones a area. Six years capture data ludens (Loew), A. obliqua (Macquart), striata serpentina...
Los carbohidratos comunes en fuentes naturales de energía para las hormigas son: sacarosa, fructosa, glucosa, trehalosa y melezitosa. En este estudio se establecieron preferencias entre estos cinco Pheidole bilimeki Mayr a través la conducta reclutamiento. El orden efectividad reclutadora los químicos fue: sacarosa > melezitosa = fructosa glucosa. todos azúcares respuesta fue dependiente concentración 0.1 M 1 M. tiempos bebiendo fueron mismos carbohidratos, por lo cual descarta que...
ABSTRACT - The role of urban ecosystems in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services is highly variable because the heterogeneity habitats human-use landscapes. We analyzed ant diversity a sub-montane sub-tropical area northeastern Mexico to determine conservation value this cityscape. Ants were collected 16 across cityscape, including spaces at periphery center, during rainy season (August October) 2015. To capture ants, eight trap traps installed along 100-m transect, hand...
Abstract Anastrepha obliqua Macquart and ludens Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae) represent persistent pests of quarantine significance affecting mango citrus agroecosystems, respectively, in Mexico. We aimed to analyze the population dynamics A. effects endogenous exogenous factors on regulation neotropical limits explored populations based short sequences time series data adult captures from 2008 2010. Moreover, we analyzed relationship between rate change () density as an factor, temperature,...
Abstract The Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae), is one of the most important pests in citrus‐growing areas Mexico. In this study, we analyzed temporal fluctuation sexually mature females A. populations with respect to availability commercial hosts and climatic factors, as well population data over an extensive citrus area northeastern numbers were treated proportions generalized linear mixed models a binomial error distribution. Results revealed positive...
Abstract We studied communities of leaf litter weevils along a 2000 m elevation gradient in El Cielo Biosphere Reserve, northeastern Mexico, an area where Nearctic and Neotropical biotas overlap. After achieving high inventory completeness (0.922 site sample coverage), we encountered 81 weevil morphospecies, which 55 were known to be specialists. The diversity increased with elevation. Beta across the elevational was mostly explained by species turnover rather than nestedness. interaction...
There is few information regarding the identification of filamentous fungi present in sewage sludge, importance these microorganisms lies potential use they have food, pharmaceutical and agri-environmental industries as are beneficial remediation water, sludge soil contaminated by Heavy metals hydrocarbons also contribute to adsorption nutrients crops. The residual once decontaminated can be used agriculture structure improvers, organic fertilizers an amendment prevent erosion. objective...
La apicultura y el control de la mosca mexicana fruta, Anastrepha ludens Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae), son dos actividades paralelas en áreas citrícolas que pueden ser abordadas desde perspectiva una sola salud. El estado Tamaulipas es las entidades con mayor producción cítricos México, donde sus problemáticas presencia A. ludens. químico esta plaga se basa uso malatión, un organofosforado puede tener efectos colonias polinizadores tales como Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae). Esta...
Introduction: The creation of protected natural areas within urban environments has played an essential role in providing small reservoirs native vegetation and refuges for endemic species. Objective: To analyze, through ant communities, the influence urbanization a area (PNA) located zone. Methods: From April to July 2022, using bait traps pitfall along 100 m transects, presence species was recorded El Refugio State Park Natural Area Tamaulipas, Mexico. Alpha diversity assessed Hill...
La diversidad de hormigas asociadas al cultivo la palmillao palma camedor Chamaedorea radicalis Mart., bajo un sistemaagroforestal, ha sido estudiado en el bosque tropical Reservade Biosfera El Cielo (RBEC). Se colectaron las frondas mediante red entomológica golpeo, siguientes especies dos épocas estacionales: Odontomachus laticeps, Crematogaster cerasi, Camponotus atriceps, Temnothorax texanus, Tapinoma sp., y Pheidole arctos época lluviosa. Wasmannia auropuntata, Monomorium floricola,...
Anthropogenic disturbance, primarily driven by land-use changes, has caused alterations in ecosystems and biodiversity, including the ant community. Therefore, aim of this study was to analyse current landscape species richness distribution environments with varying degrees disturbance Mexico. Additionally, we sought identify ecological, economic health significance within country. The present shows that Mexico a total 33,286 records 1,104 belonging 10 subfamilies. These were recorded wide...
Para obtener información sobre la presencia de especies hormigas en Sinaloa, México; se realizaron recolectas directas suelo y vegetación. Los especímenes fueron depositados colección entomológica del Instituto Ecología Aplicada Universidad Autónoma Tamaulipas (Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, México). Se reporta por primera vez 3 nativas: Brachymyrmex depilis Emery, Monomorium cyaneum Wheeler, Pseudomyrmex seminole Ward, una especie introducida: Hypoponera opaciceps Mayr. El número géneros...
A team of 79 scientists from more than 50 institutions partnered to gather all available information regarding Mexican ants since 1894, the year in which first geographical record an ant is known for country. In this new study, including 21,000 records, we showed that there are ~900 species Mexico, distributed unevenly across Mexico one relatively few countries along interface tropical and temperate zones, a megadiverse These photographs illustrate article “Mexico ants: incidence abundance...
Because of expanding urban areas and subsequent changes in land cover, elucidating the role preserving biodiversity heterogeneous green spaces city scapes is necessary. Alpha, beta, gamma diversity ant assemblages were analyzed a space highland Tlaxcala central eastern Mexico.
