Las dunas costeras son acumulaciones de arena que se forman a partir de la zona de marea alta. Su desarrollo y formación dependen del transporte de los sedimentos por el viento. La vegetación es fundamental en estos ecosistemas, ya que actúa como anclaje para las dunas y favorecen la acumulación de arena, promoviendo su expansión. Estos ecosistemas...

The Mexican Caribbean coastal dune is protected by national and international environmental legislation. However, through permits, concessions and authorizations for changes in land use, the coastal dune has been fragmented or suppressed, mainly for touristic activities, causing a decline in protective and ecological ecosystem services. In this stu...

Mangroves are biologically rich ecosystems. Although it is rare to find epiphytes on mangrove trees, some orchids, bromeliads, cacti, and aroids have been recorded; however, studies on species diversity of vascular epiphytes in mangrove ecosystems are scarce. The objective of this work was to determine the floristic composition and vertical distrib...

In the Mexican Caribbean, environmental changes, hydrometeorological events, and anthropogenic activities promote dynamism in the coastal vegetation cover associated with the dune; however, their pace and magnitude remain uncertain. Using Landsat 7 imagery, spatial and temporal changes in coastal dune vegetation were estimated for the 2011–2020 per...

Las briofitas y los líquenes son microambientes muy particulares, que contienen una fauna de invertebrados típica, tales como ácaros, colémbolos y tardígrados. Sin embargo, el conocimiento sobre los tardígrados en estos microambientes es limitado para México e incipiente para Quintana Roo. El objetivo del presente estudio es determinar la variación...

El cambio de uso de suelo es un factor importante en la transformación del ambiente. Tales cambios originan nuevos ecosistemas, donde algunos microambientes puede ser hogar de tardígrados. Por lo cual, el presente estudió se baso en documentar la riqueza genérica en muestras de liquen y musgo colectados de un cultivo de cítricos y una vegetación de...

A new species, Doryphoribius chetumalensis, is described from specimens collected in the city of Chetumal (Quintana Roo state, Mexico). The species was found in a new and unusual habitat for urban tardigrades, i.e. the soil sediment accumulated on the border of streets. This discovery shows that tardigrades can live in this habitat, demonstrating o...

Data are presented about the pattern diversity of springtails found in moss on bark along an elevational gradient (2,750–3,440 m) on the NW slope of Iztaccíhuatl Volcano, State of Mexico, Mexico. The study includes sampling carried out at seven elevations. Calculated indices were: species richness (S), Shannon's diversity index (H′), Pielou's evenn...

Many of the studies on biosolids refer to the positive effects of their application in crops, but there is little information on the evaluation of their effect on the biological component of the edaphic subsystem. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate their action on the collembolans in alfalfa and corn crops in the state of...

We evaluated the Collembola communities at 3 different heights on epiphytic moss. The study was carried out in an Abies religiosa forest, in the locality of San Rafael in the State of Mexico, Mexico. Collembola inhabiting epiphytic moss were sampled during November 2003, and during March, June and August 2004. The Shannon's diversity index, species...
