Taxonomic revision and distribution of the cleptoparasitic bee genus Mesoplia (Apidae: Ericrocidini) from Mexico and Central America

José Ángel Zamarripa-Fernández ^{a, b,}*, Ismael Hinojosa-Díaz ^c, Moisés Armando Luis-Martínez ^d, Ricardo Ayala ^a

A taxonomic revision of the cleptoparasitic bee genus Mesoplia Lepeletier, 1841 from Mexico and Central America is presented. We recognize 4 new species, resulting in a total of 10 species for the study area: Mesoplia (Mesoplia) insignis (Smith, 1879), M. (M.) sapphirina Melo & Rocha-Filho, 2011, M. (M.) regalis (Smith, 1854), M. (M.) dugesi (Cockerell, 1917), M. (M.) rufipes (Perty, 1933), M. (M.) veracruzana sp. nov., M. (M.) oaxacana sp. nov., M. (M.) tica sp. nov., M.(Eumelissa) ornata (Spinola, 1841)and M.(E.) carmelitae sp. nov.

Biogeografía

Floristic richness comparison among the Mexican states

José Luis Villaseñor *, Enrique Ortiz

The number of native vascular plant species recorded in each of the 32 Mexican states was evaluated to identify and compare their floristic richness values and determine their floristic similarities. The floristic richness was further segregated to estimate the proportions documented for each of the 5 main biomes recognized in the country. We assumed that the floristic composition in the Mexican states follows a geographical association and that geographically close states will show assemblages defined by their floristic elements.

Proximal and underlying geoecological drivers of the current distribution of the volcano rabbit (Romerolagus diazi): new evidence for habitat expansion

Alma Abigail Luna-Gil ^a, Alejandro Velazquez ^b, Luis Antonio Garcia-Almaraz ^a, Octavio Monroy-Vilchis ^c, Angel Endara ^a,*

The distribution of the endemic endangered volcano rabbit (Romerolagus diazi) has been controversial. We aimed to answer 2 questions: What is the current distribution of the volcano rabbit? and What is the role of geological and biogeographical processes compared to ecological factors in explaining the presence or absence of this species? A geoecological analysis was carried out in areas where the presence or absence of the volcano rabbit was controversial.

Ecología

The sounds of love: acoustic repertoire of Andean bear, Tremarctos ornatus (Carnivora: Ursidae), mating in the wild

Adriana Reyes ^{a, b}, Nicolás Reyes-Amaya ^{a, b}, Ramiro Velazco ^c, Manuel Meneses ^c, Andrés Cortés ^e, Katherine Arenas-Rodríguez ^d, Edward Rojas ^e, Ximena Velez-Liendo ^f, Angela M. Mendoza-Henao ^a,*

Understanding animal behavior is crucial for effective mammal conservation efforts; however, limited knowledge exists regarding the behavioral patterns of many species, particularly in wild conditions. The Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus) is the only ursid distributed in South America and is categorized as vulnerable to extinction by the IUCN.

Manejo y aprovechamiento de recursos

Evaluación de la regeneración natural en bosques templados con cubierta forestal continua en el noroeste de México

Ricardo Martínez-Casas ^a, José Carlos Monárrez-González ^b, Juan Torres-Rojo ^c y Gustavo Perez-Verdin ^a,*

La regeneración natural está influida por una interacción entre factores ambientales y genéticos. Se evaluó la regeneración de bosques templados con cubierta forestal continua, sujetos al tratamiento de selección individual en el noroeste de Durango, México.
