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 ...

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 ...

The production of mezcal generates waste such as agave bagasse (BAG), which is disposed of in open-air dumps and rarely in landfills or properly composted. Currently, there are several alternatives for using BAG, such as: ...

Successional vegetation is actually part of the extensive livestock production in dry tropics, nevertheless, knowledge regarding their capacity to produce forage, or the effect of continuous grazing on vegetation and forage ...
