Effects of habitat disruption on the activity of nectarivorous bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in a dry tropical forest: implications for the reproductive success of the neotropical tree Ceiba grandifloraMauricio Quesada
Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Apartado Postal 27 3 Xangari, 58089, Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico
Oecologia 135:400-6. 2003..Our study demonstrates the negative effect that habitat disruption has on bat pollinators in tropical dry forest ecosystems and documents the negative consequences for the plants they pollinate...
A simple and rapid method for DNA isolation from xylophagous insectsNancy Calderón-Cortés
Center for Ecosystems Research CIEco, National Autonomous University of Mexico UNAM, Morelia, Mexico E Mail M Q
Int J Mol Sci 11:5056-64. 2010..This method was successfully applied to PCR and restriction analysis, indicating removal of common inhibitors. DNA isolated by the CTAB-PVP method could be used in most molecular analyses...- Local and landscape factors determining occurrence of phyllostomid bats in tropical secondary forestsLuis Daniel Avila-Cabadilla
Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Morelia, Mexico
PLoS ONE 7:e35228. 2012..Moreover, for the long-term conservation of phyllostomids in anthropogenic landscapes, we must realize that the management of the habitat at the landscape level is as important as the conservation of particular forest fragments... - Effects of forest fragmentation on phenological patterns and reproductive success of the tropical dry forest tree Ceiba aesculifoliaYvonne Herrerias-Diego
Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Campus Morelia, Apartado Postal 27 3 Xangari, Morelia, Michoacán 58089, Mexico
Conserv Biol 20:1111-20. 2006..We concluded that forest fragmentation does not negatively affect the reproductive success of C. aesculifolia It appears that the highly mobile bat pollinators maintain reproductive connectivity between trees in both habitats... 
Genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation in plant populations: susceptible signals in plant traits and methodological approachesRamiro Aguilar
Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Campus Morelia, Apartado Postal 27 3 Xangari, Morelia, 58089 Michoacán, Mexico
Mol Ecol 17:5177-88. 2008....- Interactions among three trophic levels and diversity of parasitoids: a case of top-down processes in Mexican tropical dry forestPablo Cuevas-Reyes
Facultad de Biologia, Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolas de Hidalgo, Ciudad Universitaria, Michoacan, Mexico
Environ Entomol 36:792-800. 2007.... - Influence of pollination specialization and breeding system on floral integration and phenotypic variation in IpomoeaVíctor Rosas-Guerrero
Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Apartado Postal 27 3 Xangari, 58089 Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico
Evolution 65:350-64. 2011..Furthermore, pollinators and breeding system promote integration of floral traits involved in pollen placement and pick up rather than integration of the whole flower... - Evaluating factors that predict the structure of a commensalistic epiphyte-phorophyte networkRoberto Sáyago
Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Antigua Carretera a Pátzcuaro 8701, Col Ex Hacienda San José de la Huerta, Morelia, Michoacán 58190, Mexico
Proc Biol Sci 280:20122821. 2013..We did not detect a phylogenetic signal on the network structure. The effect of host size on the establishment of epiphytes indicates that mature forests are necessary to preserve diverse bromeliad communities... - Functional regeneration and spectral reflectance of trees during succession in a highly diverse tropical dry forest ecosystemMariana Y Alvarez-Añorve
Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Apartado Postal 27 3 Xangari, Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico
Am J Bot 99:816-26. 2012..In this study we aimed to (a) compare SDTF plant functional, floristic, and structural change along succession; (b) identify tree functional groups; and (c) explore the spectral properties of different successional stages... - A field test of inverse modeling of seed dispersalJose M Contreras Sánchez
Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Apartado Postal 27 3 Xangari 58089 Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico
Am J Bot 98:698-703. 2011..Inverse modeling (IM) of seed dispersal, a simple statistical technique for parameterizing dispersal kernels, has been widely used since 1992; surprisingly, however, this approach has never been verified in the field... - Insects as stem engineers: interactions mediated by the twig-girdler Oncideres albomarginata chamela enhance arthropod diversityNancy Calderón-Cortés
Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico
PLoS ONE 6:e19083. 2011..Insect herbivores may act as ecosystem engineers but there is still poor understanding of the role of these insects structuring arthropod communities... - Changes in composition and structure of a tropical dry forest following intermittent cattle grazingMargaret Stern
Institute of Economic Botany, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10458-5126, USA
Rev Biol Trop 50:1021-34. 2002..We suggest that alternative fire prevention measures be evaluated including hand-cutting H. rufa, the creation of more frequent and larger fire breaks, and the development of green breaks...
