Introduction
I am interested in the evolutionary ecology of plants, particularly in how biological and ecological factors influence population dynamics and genetic diversity. This includes life history traits as well as the impact of human management.

The formation of the Baja California Peninsula (BCP) has impacted the microevolutionary dynamics of different species in ways that depend on biological traits such as dispersal capacity. Plants with relatively low levels of vagility have exhibited high genetic divergence between the BCP and Continental mainland. Brahea armata (Arecaceae) is a palm...
This chapter explores the taxonomy and ethnobotany of Agave species from diverse mountain regions of Mexico, and a complete list of the useful Agaves from Mexico
Traditional agave spirits such as mezcal or tequila are produced all over Mexico using different species of Agave. Amongst them, A. angustifolia is the most popular given its agricultural extension. A. angustifolia is a wild species extensively distributed from North to Central America, and previous studies show that it is highly related to the teq...
Husk tomato is an annual vegetable crop grown for its fruits in Mexico, where it grows as weedy and wild. Eight races are recognized from wild (Wild and Milpero) and cultivated (Arandas, Manzano, Puebla, Rendidora, Salamanca, and Tamazula) conditions based on morphological and ecological traits. However, few studies have addressed the genetic diver...
Oenothera drummondii Hook. (Onagraceae) has life-history traits that make it an invasive species. Native populations are distributed along the coastal dunes from North Carolina in the United States to Tabasco in the Gulf of Mexico. It has been reported as an invasive species in Spain, Israel, and China, where this species can successfully colonize...
Forestry systems in Mexico are examples of traditional management of land and biodiversity that integrates the use, conservation and restoration of forest elements. Current in situ management practices of Agave maximiliana in western Mexico include the tolerance of many forest elements, reintroduction of young Agave plants and germination of seeds....
Plant functional connectivity integrates species-environment interactions, dispersal vectors, and landscape structure variables to understand species’ spatial responses to habitat fragmentation. Functional connectivity is still poorly understood for aquatic plants despite the promise it holds for informing wetland conservation across landscapes. Th...
Los humedales temporales se caracterizan por la hidrología efímera y por fluctuaciones severas en los niveles de agua. Los objetivos fueron, estudiar los patrones de distribución de plantas acuáticas, analizar el flujo génico y la influencia del paisaje en la conectividad de humedales. Se visitaron 39 humedales en siete estados. Se recolectaron esp...
Plant functional connectivity integrates species-environment interactions, dispersal vectors, and landscape structure variables to understand species’ spatial responses to habitat fragmentation. Yet, functional connectivity is still poorly studied for aquatic plants. Wetlands act as natural connectors among terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, maint...
Some species of Physalis develop fruits that are appreciated as fruit and as culinary ingredients. Only Physalis peruviana and Physalis philadelphica are grown on a larger scale in America. Physalis angulata is grown on a small scale in Jalisco, Mexico. It is a wild species with extensive cultivation potential in tropical areas and a model of wide...

Nymphoides species are cosmopolitan aquatics with floating leaves and frequent in freshwater wetlands. Nymphoides fallax is restricted to highlands of Mexico and Guatemala. We tested the transferability of 10 microsatellite loci previously developed for N. peltata in 18 populations of N....
Ecological and microevolutionary perspectives were used to investigate signs of background extinction in two endemic species. We studied relict populations of the cycad Dioon caputoi, contrasting its population structure and neighborhood size with those of Dioon planifolium as a demographically healthier reference population. Population dynamics an...
Resumen Las prácticas de aprovechamiento y manejo humano de plantas, como la domesticación, pueden tener efectos evolutivos sobre las mismas. Para Darwin, las plantas y animales domes-ticados fueron fundamentales en la construcción de su teoría y en la actualidad siguen siendo objeto de estudio sobre biología evolutiva. La domesticación es un proce...
Agave potatorum is a wild endemic species of Mexico. Its stems are used for mescal production, which cancels sexual reproduction. Agaves extraction from forests decreases their reproductive success and demographic performance. We evaluated patterns of genetic diversity and structure of wild populations under and without extraction in order to ident...
Physalis is an American plant genus that includes species of economic importance for their edible fruit. Consumption of this fruit is a historic tradition in Mexico. Physalis philadelphica is one of the most abundant species, which can grow under wild, weedy or cultivated conditions. It presents high morphological variability in terms of vegetative...
Polaskia chende is a columnar cactus endemic to central Mexico, where it is managed via silviculture due to its edible fruits. We aimed to analyse the consequences of management on population genetics and compared information from different markers to analyse ecological and evolutionary aspects of incipient domestication and genetic resources conse...
An understanding of how genetic variation is distributed locally is not only vital to the diagnosis of the conservational status of a species, but also to prioritize actions of sustainable management. We compared the fine-scale spatial genetic structure (SGS) of two Mexican cycads, Dioon caputoi and Dioon merolae, which differ in aspects such as di...
Allozyme diversity and population genetic structure studies were conducted in populations of two Mexican cycad species occurring in adjacent and closely related biogeographic regions. We evaluated if rarity traits in Dioon caputoi, a micro-endemic species, and Dioon merolae, a regional endemic with a wider distribution, influence levels of genetic...
The diversity and genetic structure of the cycad Dioon sonorense (De Luca, Sabato & Vázq. Torres) Chemnick, T.J. Greg. & S. Salas-Mor. were evaluated from the four known populations in tropical dry forests of Sonora, Mexico. The estimates of genetic diversity in the 19 loci analysed were: mean number of alleles per locus (A = 2.0), percentage of po...
Dioon caputoi is a long-lived cycad known from only four populations that range in size from 50 to 120, mostly adult individuals. Dioon caputoi has the most narrow geographical range of all Dioon spp. (less than 10 km), existing completely within the boundaries of the Tehuacán–Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, Mexico. Negative inbreeding values were fou...
We have estimated levels of genetic diversity and partitioning in the Mexican endemic cycad species Dioon sonorense, Dioon tomasellii, and Dioon holmgrenii, whose populations are exclusively distributed along the Pacific seaboard. For the three species, the patterns of variation at 19 allozyme loci in a total of 11 populations were evaluated. The a...
