Bats are essential in the forest regeneration process, as they are determinant in pollination and seed dispersal, promoting the reproductive success of different plant species. Therefore, the exacerbated cultivation of ...

Vascular plants are at risk of extinction due to various threats. One in five is in danger of extinction. 19% of the trees are threatened. Given this, risk assessment and the assignment of a threat category are important ...

Haemulids (grunts) represent one of the most conspicuous families of marine fishes. Even though haemulids are well represented in Mexico along the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico slopes, as well as in the Caribbean Sea, their ...

Human activities have caused environmental degradation which has generated loss of diversity. Because this has raised damage mitigation strategies as ex situ strategy that allows us to conserve organisms in captivity in ...

The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) is a feline of neotropical affinity that, despite its extensive potential distribution in Mexico, is listed as endangered in NOM-059 due to poaching, habitat loss, and its low natural ...

Habitat fragmentation it’s currently one of the main threats for biodiversity, because it modifies the natural populations dynamics and the populations distribution continuity. Like the rest of México, forests have been ...

Prosthechea karwinskii is a Mexican endemic orchid, it´s included in the risk category of special protection, since it is highly extracted from its natural habitat; that, among other causes, make this orchid susceptible ...
