  • Assessing Bird Species Richness Within Shade-Grown Coffee Farms in Chiapas, Mexico / Project ID: 0251711
    Assessing Bird Species Richness within Shade-Grown Coffee Farms in Chiapas, Mexico / Project ID: 0251711 Daniel Camilo Thompson Poo, Daniela Valle León, Alberto Martínez Fernández and Jennifer Siobhan Lowry San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, México. C.P. 29200 / [email protected] 10 July, 2012. Revised December 2014 Assessing Bird Species Richness within Shade-Grown Coffee Farms in Chiapas, Mexico / ID: 0251711 Overall Aim The goal of this project was to identify mechanisms and conservation strategies across agro-forestry systems in the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico. In particular we analyzed key biodiversity, economic, and social components that impact land-use change and ecosystem services in coffee production areas, focusing on how to improve sustainable production and conservation of nature. 2 Assessing Bird Species Richness within Shade-Grown Coffee Farms in Chiapas, Mexico / ID: 0251711 Section 1 Summary The agroforestry systems with coffee at the Sierra Madre of Chiapas, as a part of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor region, are important for bird species. Agroforestry ecosystems also represent sustainable livelihoods for indigenous groups on the region. Sustainable coffee farming system represents a less human impact on the ecosystem. However, not all coffee producers on the region produce on the same way. Not all the inhabitants are aware of the importance of birds, as a part of the great natural capital of la Sierra Madre, but they either are prepared for the climate change risks and impacts. In this sense, this project seeks to understand, generate and communicate information useful for coffee farmers and their families. The goal is to understand social and economic factors to maintain and increase agroforestry systems with sustainable coffee.

We’re encouraging everyone to bring a native plant, either a cutting or in a pot, to be identified and discussed at the meeting. It can be a plant you are unfamiliar with or something that you find remarkable, i.e. blooms for long periods of time or has fruit all winter or is simply gor- geous. We will take one plant at a time and discuss it with the entire group, inviting all comments about your experience with that native.

Our objective was to contrast the vegetation structure and tree species composition of forest communities growing on rock outcrops (FOR) with nearby forests on prevalent volcanic soil (FOV).

The present article discusses 1) the history of the region in relation to the native plants, 2) the uses of the native plants for food, fiber, shelter and Frank S. Crosswhite medicine, 3) the valuable native grasses which provided Boyce Thompson Southwestern Arboretum forage for beginning the cattle industry in America, 4) the and Department of Plant Sciences, Tamaulipan Brushland element which provided habitat University of Arizona for mother cow giving birth to call, 5) the vegetation of the resacas and floodplain of the lower Rio Grande before con- version to fruits and vegetables, and 6) the native plants which have potential uses in landscaping. The Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca passed through the region in 1535. The Indians gave him clothing made of Algodón (Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum), a fiber which was to become a leading crop in Texas during the next 400 years. During World War II, the federal government or- dered ten million acres of cotton land converted to the raising of feed for livestock, and after the war much of the land was never returned to cotton but made to yield human food.

Typical Altamira Oriole Nest The female Altamira oriole builds an interesting and elaborate nest, sometimes taking as many as three weeks or more to construct it. Nests have been found that measure from 14 to 26 inches in length and about six inches in diameter. The Altamira oriole is the largest of the North American orioles, and it builds the longest nest of any bird in North America.

STANDLEY Soon after the organization of Field Museum of Natural History, in 1893, the Curator of the Department of Botany, the late Dr. Charles F. Millspaugh, became interested in the botanical exploration of the Yucatan Peninsula. It would have been difficult to choose a part of tropical America less known botanically or, probably, one which would prove more interesting. Practically nothing was known at that time of the plants inhabiting the limestone plains and low hills of Yucatan. Today we are far from possessing a complete knowl- edge of the Yucatan flora, but what information we do have a very respectable amount, as the ensuing pages will prove is the result almost wholly of the work of two men, Dr. Millspaugh and Dr. George F. Gaumer, performed with the support of Field Museum. Dr. Millspaugh made two visits to Yucatan in order to collect plants. Dr. Gaumer, who died as recently as September 2, 1929, forty-five years in the state, and throughout this time he maintained an interest in natural history. A list of his earliest plant collections, from Cozumel Island, was inserted in the fourth and supplemental volume of Hemsley's Botany of Salvin and Godman's monumental Biologia Centrali-Americana.
