The Volcano Rabbit—A Shrinking Distribution and a Threatened Habitat
The volcano rabbit— a shrinking distribution and a threatened habitat J. Hoth, A. Velazquez, F. J. Romero, L. Leon, M. Aranda and D. J. Bell The first systematic search for the volcano rabbit, a Mexican endemic, found no evidence of the species outside the central region of the transverse neovolcanic axis around Mexico City, and reveals that the rabbit has now disappeared from areas of this central zone where it has been reported in the recent past. It depends for its survival on the pine forest—bunch grass ecosystem, and this is being destroyed by conversion to agriculture, over-grazing, fire-burns, poor forestry management and encroaching property developments. The authors make recommendations for the immediate protection of the remaining areas of core habitat and for further research. The volcano rabbit, or 'zacatuche', Romerolagus the uncontrolled burning of 'zacaton' grasses to diazi is believed to be amongst the most primitive promote new growth of grazing pasture for cattle of the living species of rabbits and hares (O. and sheep, plus the exploitation of zacaton for the Lagomorpha; Family: Leporidae) (De Poorter manufacture of household brushes (Thornback and Van der Loo, 1981; Corbet, 1983; Barrera, and Jenkins, 1982; Granados, 1981).

Muell. (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) Ekaterina D. Malenkova, Lyudmila V. Ozerova, Ivan A. Schanzer & Alexander C. Timonin Summary: Analyses of ITS1-2 data from a comprehensive sample of African succulent species of Senecio and related genera reveals that Senecio tropaeolifolius, though closely related to S. oxyriifolius, should be treated as a separate species. According to our results, it may be one of the parental species to S. kleiniiformis, a widely cultivated ornamental of uncertain hybrid origin. Keywords: Asteraceae, Senecioneae, taxonomy, systematics, Senecio kleiniiformis, ITS1-2 Senecio tropaeolifolius MacOwan ex F. Muell. is a widely cultivated succulent ornamental (Brickell 2003) whose taxonomic rank has remained uncertain so far. Its similarity to S. oxyriifolius DC. was mentioned in its first description (Mueller 1867) and Rowley (1994, 2002) rendered it as a subspecies of the latter one. However, Jeffrey (1986, 1992) treated these allopatric (Fig. 1) taxa, S. tropaeolifolius and S. oxyriifolius, as two separate species in the section Peltati. According to their descriptions, these two species differ mainly in their growth form, the number of involucral bracts of the capitula, the number of florets in the capitula, the presence/absence of ray florets and bristles on cypselae. All these characters are rather variable amongSenecio L. s. latiss. and their taxonomic value is questionable. Molecular data drastically changed the understanding of taxonomy and phylogeny of Senecio and related genera (Pelser et al. -

Lessons from the Mesoamerican Dry Forest Dry Mesoamerican the from Lessons Use: Through Conservation
Conservation through use: Lessons from the Mesoamerican dry forest This book examines the concept of ‘conservation through use’, using the conservation of tree species diversity in Mesoamerican tropical dry forest in Honduras and Mexico as a case study. It discusses the need to develop conservation strategies based both on a botanical determination of those species most in need of conservation and an Conservation through use: understanding of the role these trees play in local livelihoods. Based on a detailed analysis of smallholder farming systems in southern Honduras and coastal Oaxaca Lessons from the and a botanical survey of trees and shrubs in different land use systems in both study areas, the fi ndings confi rm the importance of involving the local population Mesoamerican dry forest in the management and conservation of Mesoamerican tropical dry forest.

Coyoacán, 04510, México D. F. [email protected] Resumen La mayor parte de los grandes volcanes de nuestro país se encuentran ubicados en la parte frontal de la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana y en otras zonas volcánicas aisladas. En este trabajo se consideraron algunos de los grandes volcanes, éstos son el volcán de Colima, Nevado de Toluca, Popocatépetl, Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl) y Tacaná. También se incluyó al volcán Chichón debido a su erupción catastrófica de 1982. El edificio actual de estos volcanes, o parte de éste, se ha for- mado en tiempos relativamente recientes; en menos de 2 500 años el volcán de Colima, 16 500 el Pico de Orizaba, 23 000 el Popocatépetl, ~26 000 el Tacaná, y >50 000 el Nevado de Toluca. Los volcanes Colima, Popocatépetl, Pico de Orizaba y Tacaná se encuentran construidos al interior de antiguos cráteres originados por el colapso de edificios ancestrales. Los primeros tres representan los volcanes meridionales activos de cadenas volcánicas orientadas aproximadamente N-S. A pesar de que todos estos edificios volcánicos han sufrido el colapso del edificio volcánico, únicamente en el Pico de Orizaba se han realizado estudios de alteración hidrotermal y estabilidad de pendientes, indispensables para pronosticar las zonas potencialmente peligrosas en el futuro. -
Ecology of Old-Growth Forests in Chihuahua, México
THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE: ECOLOGY OF OLD-GROWTH FORESTS IN CHIHUAHUA, MÉXICO By Citlali Cortés-Montaño A dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Forest Science Northern Arizona University December 2011 Approved: Peter Z. Fulé, Ph.D., Chair Ernesto Alvarado-Celestino, Ph.D. Tina J. Ayers, Ph.D. Margaret M. Moore, Ph.D. José Villanueva-Díaz, Ph.D. Abstract THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE: ECOLOGY OF OLD-GROWTH FORESTS IN CHIHUAHUA, MÉXICO By Citlali Cortés-Montaño Old-growth forests are valuable but declining worldwide. México still holds large areas covered by temperate forests in the mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental, but few of these retain old-growth characteristics. These forests provide habitat for Thick- billed Parrots (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha: Psittacidae; “guacamaya”), a CITES-listed endangered species. We studied four old-growth remnants in Mesa de las Guacamayas, a site in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Chihuahua, México, to assess the composition, structure, and age characteristics of the overstory, relating it to fire histories and continental and regional climatic data. We linked our findings to the habitat needs of Thick-billed Parrots reported by the literature, and we studied the β-diversity of the understory plant communities at these sites and related them to the composition, cover, density and fire regimes of the overstory. We found that frequent disturbance by surface fires appears to have contributed to maintaining open, diverse, and productive forests for at least 250 years. While climate was a historical driver of the fire regimes in this mountain range, humans appear to have played a role in the fire regime interruptions of the second half of the 20th century. -

Of the two that have been active in historic time, Volcán Pico de Orizaba (Volcán Citlaltépetl) has nine named glaciers, and Popocatépetl has three named glaciers. The one dormant stratovolcano, Iztaccíhuatl, has 12 named glaciers. The total area of the 24 glaciers is 11.44 square kilometers. The glaciers on all three volcanoes have been receding during the 20th century.
