ABSTRACT Climate surfaces are digital representations of climatic variables from a region in the planet estimated via geographical interpolation techniques. have multiple applications research planning, experimental design, and technology transfer. Although high‐resolution climatologies been developed worldwide, Mexico is one few countries that several surfaces. Here, we present an updated (30 arc sec) for average monthly climate period 1910–2009, corresponding to values precipitation, daily...
Global change drives biodiversity shifts worldwide, but these are poorly understood in highly diverse tropical regions. In mountains, plants mostly expected to migrate upslope response warming. To assess this, we analyze elevation ranges of species Mesoamerican cloud forests using three decades species' occurrence records. Our findings reveal a mean shift 1.8 2.7 meters per year since 1979 driven by the retreat less thermophilic montane species. These accompanied retreating lower and upper...
Spatial assessments of historical climate change provide information that can be used by scientists to analyze variation over time and evaluate, for example, its effects on biodiversity, in order focus their research conservation efforts. Despite the fact there are global climatic databases available at high spatial resolution, they represent a short temporal window impedes evaluating changes impacts biodiversity. To fill this gap, we developed gridded surfaces Mexico three periods cover...
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,...
Evaluation of various climate change factors on Mexican bird populations shows temperature has the strongest influence.
There is a need to revise the framework used project species risks under climate change (CC) and land-use/cover (LUCC) scenarios. We built CC risk index using latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change framework, where function of vulnerability (sensitivity adaptive capacity), exposure, hazard. incorporated future LUCC scenarios as part exposure component. combined trait-based approach based biological characteristics with correlative ecological niche modeling, assigning scores...
For much of the twentieth century, many or most scholarly journals in biodiversity, ecology, biogeography and conservation were owned published by scientific societies made available to broader community at relatively low cost. However, past several decades have seen a dominant process commercialization publication this field, either commercial publishing firms taking over society (e.g., Evolution), publishers starting new fill "niches" that until then empty ecosystem. Diversity...
EcoNicheS (https://github.com/armandosunny/EcoNicheS) is a comprehensive R package built on Shiny dashboard that offers an intuitive and streamlined workflow for creating ecological niche models (ENMs) landscape connectivity models. It incorporates tools modeling, overlap analysis, leveraging robust algorithms from the biomod2 suite. designed to simplify technical complexities of ENMs, bridging gap between advanced modeling techniques user accessibility. The interactive interface data input,...
Glossophaga valens is a generalist nectar-feeding bat known from the western slopes of Ecuador and Peru. Recently elevated to species level, key information about its geographic boundaries environmental preferences remains limited. We developed niche-based distribution model describe biogeographic pattern, delimit distribution, evaluate potential range. compiled 107 occurrence records scientific literature museum collections, covering complete species. After curating these data, 83...
Rising temperatures can lead to the occurrence of a large-scale climatic event, such as melting Greenland ice sheet, weakening AMOC and further increasing dissimilarities between current future climate. The impacts an event are still poorly assessed. Here, we evaluate those across megadiverse countries on 21,146 species tetrapods vascular plants using pessimistic climate change scenario (RCP 8.5) four different scenarios Greenland's sheet melting. We show that RCP 8.5 emission would...
Abstract. Humans greatly benefit from natural water resources, also known as hydrological ecosystem services. However, these services may be reduced by population growth, land use changes, and climate change. As problems become more critical, the need to quantify resources increases. The estimation of yield its distribution are great importance for management resources. In present study, average annual hydrographic basins in southern region Ecuador was estimated 1970–2015 period using InVEST...
Digital accessible biodiversity knowledge has the potential to greatly advance botanical research and guide conservation efforts. Evaluating its shortfalls is key understanding limits prioritising regions in need of renewed survey We used Royal Botanical Gardens Kew's World Checklist Vascular Plants parse publicly available occurrence data downloaded from Global Biodiversity Information Facility quantify spatial distribution spatial, phylogenetic, temporal across Mesoamerica. After...
Abstract Dengue is the most important viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, predominantly Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.) (Diptera:Culicidae). Forty percent of world’s population at risk contracting disease, and a large area Mexico presents suitable environmental conditions for life cycle Ae. aegypti. In particular, Central Mexican Highlands have high density, increasing transmission propagation dengue. present study, potential distribution was modeled under an ecological niche approach...
Mexico is the center of origin and genetic diversity upland cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.), most important source natural fiber in world. Currently, wild domesticated populations (including genetically modified [GM] varieties) occur this country gene flow among them has shaped species’ structure, setting a complex challenging scenario for its conservation. Moreover, recent from GM cultivars to Mexican been reported since 2011. In situ conservation G. requires knowledge about extent...
RESUMENLas islas mexicanas son de los territorios más diversos del mundo y por lo tanto su conservación debería ser una prioridad nacional e internacional.Se han detectado tres amenazas principales para la diversidad en las México: especies invasoras, cambio uso suelo climático.La mayoría estudios se ha enfocado a evaluar con diferentes perspectivas problemática que otros abordado como tema principal el suelo.Sin embargo, este estudio es primer intento realizar evaluación impacto climático...
Abstract Biological invasions need to be assessed as spatial processes, incorporating information on introduction sites, environmental suitability, dispersal parameters and negative impacts. The above allows us develop risk maps, which are an important tool determine the probability consequences of invasion in each area. In this study, we developed species niche-based distribution models for Vespa mandarinia V. velutina , exotic recently discovered North America, being a recognized invasive...

Cada seminario fue desarrollado por uno o varios expertos se discutieron conceptos,...
Potential distribution of jaguar, Panthera onca (Carnivora: Felidae) in Guerrero, Mexico: persistence areas for its conservation. Studies about the permanence natural protected are important, because they contribute to promotion conservation target and optimize economical human resources specific areas. Although there no it has suitable habitat a common species used planning management Since, is actual evidence that environmental anthropogenic variables may modify vertebrate with time, this...
Demographic analyses and ecological niche modeling (ENM) are two popular tools that address species persistence in relation to environmental conditions. Classic demography provides detailed information about the mechanisms allow a population grow or remain stable at local scale, while ENM infers distributions from conditions suitable for geographic scales by relating species' occurrences with variables. By integrating these tools, we may better understand processes determine scale. To test...
