Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are plant taxa closely related to crops and a source of high genetic diversity that can help adapt the impacts global change, particularly meet increasing consumer demand in face climate crisis. CWR provide vital ecosystem services increasingly important for food nutrition security sustainable resilient agriculture. They therefore major biological, social, cultural economic importance. Assessing extinction risk is essential prioritise situ...
Microbes of low abundance (i.e., rare biosphere) are involved in the ability coral as holobiont, to respond and acclimatize local global environmental disturbances. However, no complete characterization these important microbial assemblages has been conducted. Outlining would greatly benefit our understanding their ecological role coral-microbial association. Here, we assessed bacterial biosphere hermatypic corals Pocillopora cf. damicornis P. verrucosa, well surrounding seawater sediment,...
Traditional farming communities frequently maintain high levels of agrobiodiversity, so understanding their agricultural practices is a priority for biodiversity conservation. The cultural origin agave spirits (mezcals) from west-central Mexico in the southern part state Jalisco where traditional farmers cultivate more than 20 landraces Agave angustifolia Haw. agroecosystems that include situ management wild populations. These systems, rooted 9000-year-old tradition using agaves as food...
Abstract Crop wild relatives (CWR) intra- and interspecific diversity is essential for crop breeding food security. However, intraspecific genetic diversity, which central given the idiosyncratic threats to species in landscapes, usually not considered planning frameworks. Here, we introduce an approach develop proxies of differentiation identify conservation areas, applying systematic tools that produce hierarchical prioritizations landscape. It accounts for: (i) evolutionary processes,...
Background: Knowledge on Mexican Solanaceae is uneven. Several areas are well collected and have been floristically treated in recent times, but others neglected poorly represented herbaria.
 Question: Which species of grow Mexico which their state distribution.
 Study site: from 2009 to 2011.
 Methods: We reviewed family literature as North American herbaria. analyzed distribution for each state, endemism the country MegaMexico.
 Results: found three subfamilies...
Abstract Mexico is a megadiverse country. Presently, 22 126 species of angiosperms have been registered within its territory and 11 001 are considered to be endemic. However, their geographical distributions far from homogeneous. In addition, the center diversification several groups. Our analysis focused on such The aims were identify areas richness endemism. A data matrix with 766 25 579 records was analyzed. It included Calochortus (Liliaceae); Bletia (Orchidaceae); Tigridieae...
Forestry systems in Mexico are examples of traditional management land and biodiversity that integrates the use, conservation restoration forest elements. Current situ practices Agave maximiliana western include tolerance many elements, reintroduction young plants germination seeds. More intense forms monocultures, which agro-industrialized developed more recent times characterized by establishment high densities A. deforested areas abandoned agricultural lands. We compared forestry wild...
The Mexican Central Pacific (MCP) has discontinuous coral ecosystems with different protection and anthropogenic disturbance. Characterizing the bacterial assemblage associated sea urchin Toxopneustes roseus its relationship environmental variables will contribute to understanding species’ physiology ecology. We collected urchins from at six sites in MCP during summer winter for two consecutive years. spatial scale represented most important variation T. bacteriome, particularly because of...
The Mexican Central Pacific is located in a zone of oceanographic transition between two biogeographic provinces with particular conditions that affect the associated fauna. objective this study was to evaluate variation hermatypic coral assemblages region and determine their relationship heterogeneity benthonic habitat spatial variables. A total 156 transects were carried out at 41 sites years 2010 2011. sampling effort returned 96.7% richness expected for area, 15 species recorded. results...
Bacterial assemblages associated with the hermatypic corals Pocillopora damicornis and P. verrucosa, surrounding seawater sediment at six coral reef sites in north section of Tropical Eastern Pacific were assessed using MiSeq Illumina sequencing V4 region 16S rDNA. The bacterial microbiota both species, stable to seasonal variations. between same substrates not significantly different from each other sampled. Interestingly, composition within site was different, or not, depending on...

Abstract Identifying the core microbiome structure of a metaorganism can be used to monitor impact perturbation against it and changes in its stability (i.e., dysbiosis), resistance, resilience. The core‐microbiome interaction regulates holobiont health homeostasis is an indicator resilience whole community. This study determined exclusive shared taxa two reef‐building coral species ( Pocillopora damicornis P. verrucosa ), as well surrounding seawater sediment, six communities along...
