Gamma-diversity partitioning of gobiid fishes (Teleostei: Gobiidae) ensemble along of Eastern Tropical Pacific: Biological inventory, latitudinal variation and species turnover

OMAR VALENCIA MENDEZ (2018, [Artículo])

Gobies are the most diverse marine fish family. Here, we analysed the gamma-diversity (γ-diversity) partitioning of gobiid fishes to evaluate the additive and multiplicative components of α and β-diversity, species replacement and species loss and gain, at four spatial scales: sample units, ecoregions, provinces and realms. The richness of gobies from the realm Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) is represented by 87 species. Along latitudinal and longitudinal gradients, we found that the γ-diversity is explained by the β-diversity at both spatial scales, ecoregions and provinces. At the ecoregion scale, species are diverse in the north (Cortezian ecoregion) and south (Panama Bight ecoregion) and between insular and coastal ecoregions. At the province scale, we found that the species turnover between the warm temperate Northeast Pacific (WTNP), Tropical East Pacific (TEaP) and the Galapagos Islands (Gala) was high, and the species nestedness was low. At the ecoregion scale, historical factors, and phylogenetic factors have influenced the hotspots of gobiid fish biodiversity, particularly in the Cortezian, Panama Bight and Cocos Island ecoregions, where species turnover is high across both latitudinal and longitudinal gradients. At the provincial level, we found that the contributions of the β-diversity from north to south, in the WTNP, TEaP and Gala were high, as result of the high number of unique species. Species turnover was also high at this scale, with a low contribution from species nestedness that was probably due to the low species/gene flow within the provinces. These results highlight the importance and successful inclusion of a cryptobenthic fish component in ecological and biogeographical studies. © 2018 Valencia-Méndez et al.

El lobo marino de California (Zalophus californianues) y su relación con la pesca en la región de las Grandes Islas, Golfo de California, México

Alfredo Zavala González (1999, [Tesis de doctorado])

El lobo marino de California (Z. californianus) se ha usado desde épocas prehispanicas en aguas mexicanas. En el México Prehispanico los nativos lo utilizaban en bajo nivel. Durante el México Colonial e Independiente, el mayor uso de lobos marinos fue por los extranjeros y era secundario a la obtencién de otros mamiferos marinos. En el México Postrevolucionario, los lobos marinos eran el blanco de diferentes usos industriales. El uso de lobo marino se termind oficialmente en 1982, pero todavia se le caza a una baja escala, de manera irregular. Entre 1992 y 1997 la poblacién del lobo marino en la Region de las GrandesIslas del Golfo de California se mantuvo estable, alrededor de los 9,200 animales. No se evidencia un cambio importante en el tamafio de la poblacion durante los ultimos 55 afos; sin embargo, se observa un fuerte decremento en la poblacién entre 1990-93. Esto fue coincidente con una disminucién en los pelagicos menores y puede reflejar una relacion entre escalas decadales y cambios climaticos mayoresy la estabilidad de la poblacion del lobo marino en el Golfo de California. La pesca tiene lugar todo el afio en todas las aguas adyacentes al archipiélago Angel de la Guarda, pero hay sitios con mayor actividad. En Bahia de Los Angeles se presenta una afluencia de pescadores foraneos que triplica la poblacién pesquera local durante la temporada de pesca de tibur6n. El numero de equipos de pesca y la duracién de los campamentos responde a la abundancia y demanda de los recursos. Se observa una alta eficiencia en la pesca riberefa para las capturas multiespecificas, con gran variedad de especies neriticas, pelagicas y demersales, y con poco desperdicio de fauna de acompafhamiento. El area de pesca se puede incrementar ante condiciones anomalas, como durante eventos del ENSO, pero también se observa un incremento en el uso de nuevas zonas de pesca en los ultimos afios. Los pescadoreslocales accidentalmente capturan lobos marinos en sus redes. Matan a estos lobos enmallados para poder desatorarlos y recuperar sus pafios, por el peligro que existe al tratar de liberarlos vivos. La tasa de enmallamiento registrada en el presente trabajo (0.49%) no presenta una amenazapara la conservacion de la especie en el la region centro-norte del Golfo de California. La pesca de tibur6n a gran escala desarrollada por pescadores foraneos, a diferencia de la pesca local (de menores dimensiones en términos de volumen, esfuerzo e inversion), causa mayores problemasa los recursos marinos(incluyendo tortugas marinas, delfines, pélagicos mayores y lobos marinos, entre otras). Esta hace uso ademas de una matanza deliberada de lobos inmaduros como carnada. Para este tipo de pescadores, mientras siga “disponible” el acceso a los lobos marinos, seran inevitables sus capturas para carnada. Se concluye que: 1) la poblacién de la especie en la Region de las Grandes Islas no se ncuentra reducida ni amenazada; 2) la interaccién del lobo con la pesca riberefia de escama, actualmente se encuentra aniveles no preocupantes, pero habra que observarel incremento en el esfuerzo pesquero; 3) la interaccién con la pesca especializadade tiburon, a gran escala, puede al corto plazo representar problemas para algunas colonias de lobos marinos; 4) se plantea que la especie puede ser considerada comorecurso y se proyecte su utilizacién controlada y normada para beneficio de la poblaciénlocal.

The California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) has been utilized in Mexican waters for many years. During the Prehispanic Period, native people used sea lions to a very small extent. The Colonial and Independent Periods showed a higher use of sea lions by foreigners and it was secondary to the extraction of other marine mammals. During the Postrevolutionary era, sea lions becamethetarget for industrial use. Sea lion use officially ended in 1982, but its irregular huntisstill seen today at a low level. From 1992 to 1997 the sea lion population in the Gulf of California Great Islands Region was stable, at around 9,200 animals. There is no evidence of an important changein the size of the population over the last 55 year; however, a strong decline in:the population between 1990 and 1993 is apparent. This coincides with a reduction in minor pelagics and could reflect a relationship between decadal scales and majorclimatic changes and the stability of the sea lion population in the Gulf of California. Fishing occurs all year round in the waters Surrounding the Angel de la Guarda archipielago, but there are several sites where there is more activity. The community of Bahia de los Angeles shows the presence of non-local fishermen, tripling the local fishermen population. The number of fishing teams and the duration of the camps depends on resource abundance and demand. High efficiency is shownin artisanalfishery for multispecies catches, with a great variety of neritic, pelagic and demersal species and very low waste of accompanying fauna. The area fished can increase with unusual conditions, such as during ENSO events, but recent years have also exhibited a rise in the use of new fishing zones. Local fishermen accidentally capture sea lions in their nets. They kill the entangled animalsin order to release them from their fishing gear, so they can repair their nets and because of the dangeroftrying to free them alive. The entanglement ratio (0.49%) does not represent a threat to the species conservation in the north central region of the Gulf of California. The shark fishing developed to a great extent by outside fishermen, as opposedto local fishing (of smaller dimensions in terms of volume and investment), causes major problems to natural resources such as marine turtles, dolphins, pelagic species and sealions.Immature sealions are also killed deliberately for use as bait. For these fishermen, as long as accessto sealions is available, their capture for bait is inevitable. It is concluded that: 1) the population of the species in the Great Islands Regionis not found to be reduced or threatened; 2) sea lion interaction with artisanal fishing is not currently found to be at a level to cause concern, but the increasein the fishing effort needs to be observed; 3) the interaction with specialised shark fishing could represent problems for some sea lion colonies in the short term; 4) it is stated that the species could be considered as a resource and its controlled and regulated use is suggested for the benefit of the local community.

La Funcionalidad Física Arrecifal, indicador de la diversidad funcional en ensamblajes de peces de arrecifes en el Parque Nacional Islas Marietas, Nayarit, México

Reef Physical Functionality, indicator of functional diversity on reef fishes assemblages from Islas Marietas National Park, Nayarit, Mexico

Luis Mario Montalvo Jaramillo (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

La ecología funcional se basa en el uso de rasgos funcionales; características de las especies (morfológicas, fisiológicas, comportamiento) medidas a nivel individual que influencian el rendimiento de una especie, siendo de gran utilidad para determinar cambios dentro del ecosistema. El presente trabajo busca evaluar la funcionalidad física como indicador de disponibilidad de hábitat de peces y su relación con la diversidad funcional. La funcionalidad física del arrecife se evaluó mediante el IFA integrando datos de cobertura coralina, complejidad estructural y tasa de calcificación. La estructura de los ensamblajes de peces se analizó mediante el cálculo de índices de diversidad funcional (riqueza, equitatividad y divergencia) con base en cuatro rasgos funcionales (tamaño corporal, movilidad, tipo de agregación y dieta). La relación entre la diversidad funcional del ensamblaje y el IFA se evaluó mediante un análisis de regresión lineal. El IFA fue influenciado de manera positiva por la presencia Pocilloporidos al generar un mayor aporte a la funcionalidad física (FF) y consecuentemente, una mayor provisión de hábitat. Por el contrario, el IFA disminuyó con la presencia de Porites panamensis debido a su baja tasa de calcificación.La diversidad funcional de los ensamblajes no presentó variaciones temporales, atribuible a una baja variabilidad entre los sitios debido a una alta cercanía, baja variacion batimétrica y alta conectividad. La relación entre el IFA y la riqueza funcional de los ensamblajes se atribuye a que sitios con mayor funcionalidad física otorgan disponibilidad de hábitat y refugio contra la depredación a especies crípticas, de talla pequeña y juveniles; ya que, especies de este tipo se asocian a hoyos similares a su tamaño corporal y la supervivencia de las mismas aumenta en sustratos más complejos.

Functional diversity it’s based on functional traits; characteristics of species (morphological, physiological, behavior) measured at individual level that impact their performance and have great utility to determine changes within the ecosystem. This work aims to evaluate physical functionality as indicator of fish habitat availability and its relationship with functional diversity. The physical functionality of the reef was evaluated using the RFI, integrating data on coral cover, structural complexity, and calcification rate. The structure of the fish assemblages was analyzed by calculating functional diversity index (richness, evenness, and divergence) based on four functional traits (body size, mobility, type of aggregation and diet). The relationship between functional diversity and RFI was evaluated using linear regression analysis. The RFI was influenced on positive way for the presence of Pocilloporids due to the great contribution to physical functionality (PF) creating more habitat availability. For the other hand, the RFI was influenced on negative way for the presence of Porites panamensis due their low calcification rate. The functional diversity of the assemblages did not present temporal variations, attributable to a low variability between the sites due high proximity, low bathymetric variation and high connectivity. The relationship between RFI and the functional richness of the assemblages is attributed to fact that sites with greater physical functionality provide more availability of habitat and refuge against predation to cryptic, small and juvenile species; species of this type are associate with holes similar to their body size and their survival increases in more complex substrates.

Estudios de genética en poblaciones de abulón y sus aplicaciones en ordenamiento pesquero

RICARDO PEREZ ENRIQUEZ NOE DIAZ VILORIA JOSE LUIS GUTIERREZ GONZALEZ ALEJANDRA ARCINIEGA DE LOS SANTOS ADRIANA MAX AGUILAR Pedro Cruz Hernández Fernando Aranceta Garza (2016, [Artículo])

"Se presenta la integración de más de 10 años de investigación científica en genética de las poblaciones de abulón en México realizada en el CIBNOR. Esta investigación muestra cómo se pueden aplicar los marcadores genéticos tanto en estudios de genética poblacional como en identificación forense con la finalidad de contribuir al conocimiento aplicado para manejo de la pesquería. Se desarrollaron marcadores genéticos tipo microsatélites de ADN enfocados tanto al abulón azul Haliotis fulgens como amarillo Haliotis corrugata para diferenciación de poblaciones y análisis de parentesco. Un análisis de estructura genética de las poblaciones silvestres de ambas especies de abulón mostró homogeneidad genética en la costa del Pacífico en la región centro-sur de la Península de Baja California, México, pero con diferenciación genética en localidades distantes debido a un flujo genético limitado producto del aislamiento reproductivo. Por ello, no existen elementos que den soporte a un manejo pesquero delimitado por bancos en ambas especies. De manera particular, el abulón amarillo mostró una menor de diversidad genética que el azul, posiblemente debido a una mayor explotación pesquera histórica. Los resultados obtenidos en pruebas de parentesco han indicado que la retención larvaria en bancos específicos es reducida, por lo que ni la agregación de reproductores ni la liberación de larvas han mostrado ser estrategias eficientes para favorecer el incremento de reclutas en bancos definidos. Un análisis de perfiles genéticos con el gen de la lisina permitió la identificación de las especies de abulón que se capturan y enlatan en México. El análisis comparativo de perfi les genéticos, basado en el gen nuclear 18S de abulón y otros moluscos, detectó producto enlatado conteniendo especies de moluscos comercializadas falsamente como abulón, lo que puede constituirse como una herramienta forense en futuras disputas legales. Este tipo de aplicación es potencialmente utilizable con otros productos comestibles en los cuales se sospecha de prácticas fraudulentas, ya sea por captura o comercialización ilegal o por sustitución de contenidos en productos procesados."

"This is an integrative work of more than 10 years of research in population genetics of abalone in Mexico performed at CIBNOR. It shows how molecular tools have the potential to support abalone fisheries management through population genetics and forensic analyses. Microsatellite DNA markers were developed on blue (green for its name in English) Haliotis fulgens and yellow abalone (pink for its name in English) H. corrugata to be used for genetic differentiation on populations and for parentage analysis. The analysis of genetic structure on wild populations of both species revealed genetic homogeneity in the Pacific coast of the central region of the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico, with genetic differentiation on distant localities due to a limited gene flow as a result of reproduction isolation. From this result we suggest that no evidences were found supporting the management of the fishery based on individual abalone beds. Pink abalone shows lower genetic diversity than green abalone, possibly due to higher historical fishery exploitation. The parentage analysis suggested that larval retention within beds is reduced, indicating that neither broodstockaggregation nor the release of abalone larvae for stock enhancement are efficient strategies to increase recruitment in specific beds.

An analysis of the genetic profiles with the lysine gene allowed the identification of abalone species captured and processed in Mexico. The comparative analysis, based on the 18S gene, among abalone and other mollusks, detected canned product containing mollusks that are commercialized allegedly as abalone or ‘abalone type’, which could constitute a forensic tool in future legal disputes. This type of application can also be used with other edible products in which fraudulent practices are suspected either because of illegal catch or commercialization or substitution in processed products."

Shopping centers at zmcm. The companies, location and production of a neoliberal urban space

Dante-Guillermo Celis-Galindo (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

This work aims to analyze different aspects of shopping center at the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City as location, opening year and developer company. Also it will identify diverse characteristics, economic and political phases in the country as well as the role of the development companies and shopping centers as a producers of a neoliberal urban space. This paper presents the way shopping centers importance has growth and how it had become in a neoliberal city characteristic; with this the characteristics of these urban works are visualized and related with their construction companies and local governments which has caused the transformation of the city. After conducting a census, with more than two hundred shopping centers, the study was delimited to those with the greatest significance by size, location and developer. At the beginning of the paper, the characteristics that shopping malls should have for the realization of this work are mentioned. In a first section an approach is made to the theoretical elements of the city and the shopping center and therefore identifying the developers that most  nfluence this process; the second section addresses the characteristics of places by location and the characteristics that urban planners have depending on the area where they are; the third section discusses the years of opening, the squares and relates to government administrations and the economic characteristics of the country; and finally, a tour of the urban regulations in Mexico City and its latest modifications is made.

Política de lo materno de dirigentes barriales en el espacio público

David Luján Veron ANÍBAL PÉREZ CONTRERAS (2023, [Artículo])

"En este artículo se analiza un conjunto de relatos de dirigentes vecinales, recabados a partir de dos investigaciones doctorales concluidas, con el objetivo de desvelar los distintos modos en que las mujeres invocan roles tradicionalmente asociados a lo femenino —protección, cuidado, maternidad— para legitimarse en el espacio público y participar en la política local. Se argumentará que las mujeres observadas participan en la configuración de una “política de lo materno” que, pese a reforzar estereotipos tradicionales sobre el rol de las mujeres, constituye un reservorio de experiencias, aprendizajes y prácticas que pueden ser leídas en clave de politización y construcción de ciudadanía".

Socio-spatial segregation of socio-environmental assets of public green spaces in the city of Durango, Mexico

Carlos Alejandro Custodio González Tania Ortiz Patricia Catalina Medina Pérez (2024, [Artículo, Artículo])

The current development model's accumulation logic has resulted in the emergence and consolidation of social processes like segregation, leading to differentiated access and availability of urban goods and services among social groups based on socioeconomic, ethnic, or societal standing. The current development model's accumulation logic has resulted in the emergence and consolidation of social processes like segregation, leading to differentiated access and availability of urban goods and services among social groups based on socioeconomic, ethnic, or societal standing. This disparity impacts employment levels, educational performance, urban decay, and environmental degradation. In this context, the article aims to examine the socio-spatial segregation in the access to socio-environmental amenities provided by public green spaces (EVP) in a medium-sized city, specifically Durango, Mexico. The analysis utilizes spatial analysis and statistical methods that involve five variables associated with EVPs: surface area, percentage, number, density, and the socioeconomic level of the population. A spatial pattern of segregation was identified through these variables, resulting in four clusters that impact how the city of Durango is inhabited, produced, reproduced, lived, and constructed.

The listening in the contemporary city. Theoretical approaches

Gustavo Alfonso Galván Cázares José Guadalupe Rivera González (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

The present article sets out different theoretical approaches around the sound and the act of listening in the contemporary city as well as the processes of production and significance of the city through the mentioned act. The central goal of this writing is to contribute to the interdisciplinary discussions about the coupling of sound/ listening in the field of urban studies since the aforementioned dissertations are still scarce in the Latin American context. To this effect, firstly, listening as an epistemic means by which the city is learned is discussed. Afterwards, some implications about different global processes in the urbanites’ aural practices are analyzed. Lastly, the necessity of appealing to citizen’s listening as an essential element to consider throughout the planning, construction, remodeling and the plans of territorial restructuring as well as in every physical and symbolic transformation of the city is presented. In this context some theoretical premises about the experimentation of the public space through hearing, being aware of the sound as a component that allows an appropriation and significance of the space as well as an element of social cohesion and generator of identities are analyzed.

The pedestrian trajectories derived from the barriers of the public space

Amanda Casillas Ana Victoria Casillas Zapata (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Walking behavior respond to various factors, both internal and external, the first one is linked to the pedestrian's motivation, and the second one is linked to the opportunity offered by the built environment. The public space in the cities represents the main articulator of pedestrian movements, allowing flexible or fixed types of trips to be carried out. Therefore, those urban spaces that are detached from the network conformed by the pedestrian infrastructure could limit accessibility and alter the paths of travel. This study addresses the cases of three neighborhood parks that in recent years have had their configuration transformed by closing their perimeters in a partial or total way; the main objective of this study is to identify the types of pedestrian trajectories that derive from these barriers, as for those who move from within the neighborhoods and those who move from outside. These trajectories were analyzed under a qualitative approach and a descriptive scope. This allow us to determine that the parks, according to their disposition, have the potential to attract or repel the pedestrian movement, whether they were used as a destination or a connection place for displacement. In this way, it was possible to determine that the pedestrian trajectories are conditioned by the reduced permeability of these spaces.

Gráfica de protesta: PuntosB, Lapiztola y La Guillotina. Un análisis entre el cuerpo y el espacio en la imagen de protesta

Jorge Gabriel Ortiz Leroux (2023, [Capítulo de libro])

Capítulo número 5 de la Sección Imágenes y representaciones.

El objetivo del presente texto es el de mostrar como la obra emanada de colectivos de análisis del espacio social de la protesta, permite reconocer las claves que relacionan al espacio con los actores que lo ocupan. Asimismo, se pretende abordar cómo el conflicto que se interpone entre los actores de la protesta define sus magnitudes y reelabora sus disposiciones y sus formas de entrecruzamiento en relación con la presencia de la imagen. Asimismo, la representación imaginaria y visual del espacio permite ver a la ciudad como un laboratorio, que puede también ser registrado, interpretado y resituado respecto a los discursos hegemónicos. Los proyectos visuales que aquí abordamos representan un trabajo que a través de los años ha expresado su visión sobre las realidades sociales y políticas de nuestro país, en las que el conflicto aparece como telón de fondo de la creación e interpretación visual de esas realidades. La interacción entre política y estética tiene como escenario el espacio público y la ciudad, que fungen como trasfondo para la expresión de formas imaginarias y que conforman en sí mismas el sentido de los reclamos y las transformaciones gestadas. Mirando a la ciudad, observamos sus cambios y las formas de relación, cada vez más complejas, que se viven en ella.
