The biogeography and the ecology of genus Turbinicarpus are scarcely known taxonomic segregation Rapicactus from has been debated. present study aims to (i) evaluate distribution all taxa in full distributional range (NE Mexico); (ii) investigate potential ecological divergence between Turbinicarpus; (iii) analyse influence environmental variables on plant morphology. pattern belonging s.l. (Turbinicarpus + Rapicactus) was mapped using information 12 herbaria, as well unpublished databases....
Historical-geographical (chorographic) descriptions provide some of the earliest formal documentation about landscape. We propose a methodological approach aimed at reconstructing spatial-explicit picture agroforestry system eighteenth-century landscape, detecting main land-use drivers, and analysing existing legacies past agro-forestry productivity in present The study area was Bologna Apennines, our data source chorographic dictionary from 1781–83. obtained matrix 240 administrative units...
A new halophilous–gypsicolous species of Corynopuntia, C. halophila (Cactaceae), is described and illustrated from the state Coahuila, north-eastern Mexico. It morphologically similar to diploid Corynopuntia moelleri, but it differs by some traits, such as body size unusual morphological features which are here reported for first time; there also ecological karyological differences, latter study revealed that a polyploid with 2n = 44 chromosomes. Diagnostic characters taxa discussed arranged...
A new species of Corynopuntia, Corynopuntia deinacantha D. Donati (Cactaceae), is described and illustrated from the state Coahuila, northeastern Mexico. It morphologically similar to grahamii (Engelm.) F.M. Knuth aggeria (Ralston & Hilsenb.) M.P. Griff., but it differs in body size, some traits, ecology. Diagnostic morphological characters related taxa are discussed organized a taxonomic key. Information on ecology, karyology, biogeography demography also provided.
