Surfaces of buildings at the archaeological site of Palenque, Mexico, are colonized by cyanobacteria that form biofilms, which in turn cause aesthetic and structural damage. The structural characterization and species composition of biofilms from the walls of one of these…

Although tropical deciduous forest (TDF) is the most widespread tropical forest in Mexico, knowledge on its regeneration
and restoration ecology is still scarce. Here, we compare the diversity of TDF trees and shrubs having published
propagation protocols with the total…

and (ii) the derived state of the breeding (rather than winter) ecological niches of each species., The evolution of migration has long been considered complex and recent work has demonstrated additional complexity: some species follow the same ecological conditions throughout…

Based on traditional medicinal knowledge, it was possible to identify the plant species Solanum chrysotrichum as the source of a new antimycotic agent designated SC-1. Cell suspension batch cultures from this plant were established in shake flasks, in which the…

The incorporation of ethnopedological knowledge in soil science and the inclusion of indigenous communities as beneficiaries of the agricultural technology are indispensable premises to make a better use of soil. However, to achieve this, it is necessary to have clearer…

Knowledge of the population dynamics of tropical trees has expanded considerably in the past 20 years. An important observation deriving from these investigations is the confirmation that population behaviour varies both in time and space. A tool recently developed to…

The Upper Cenozoic flora of the Pie de Vaca Formation, Puebla, Mexico, is yielding important elements that contribute to a more complete knowledge of the Tertiary floras of southern latitudes of North America. Among the most abundant plant organs in…
