Biodiversity Governance: A Tower of Babel of Scales and Cultures
TL;DR: To deal successfully with the complexity and diversity of local issues, including indigenous knowledge systems, IPBES must recognize a key role of local institutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development of ornithology in Mexico and the importance of access to scientific information
TL;DR: The documentation of Mexican bird diversity grew in each of these phases, but has now become a Mexican enterprise, thanks to the combined availability of information and funding from within the country and that “repatriated” from around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic position of the Socorro mockingbird Mimodes graysoni
TL;DR: Recently acquired tissue makes possible a first molecular assessment of the taxonomic position of the Soccoro Island endemic mimid Mimodes graysoni, placing it within a strongly supported clade containing four representatives of the genus Mimus.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the utility of supraspecific modeling units to improve the predictive ability of models focused on biological invasions, taking into account phylogenetic relationships in correlative ecological niche models.
Journal Article
Predicting the distribution of a parasite using the ecological niche model, GARP
TL;DR: The ecological niche of a parasite exists only at the nexus of certain abiotic and biotic conditions suitable for both the definitive and intermediate hosts.
