Taxonomic and floristic novelties for Echeveria (Crassulaceae) in Central Michoacan, Mexico

A new species, Echeveria coruana, is described and illustrated from the malpaís near San Andrés Corú, Michoacan, Mexico. The species belongs to series Gibbiflorae and the new taxon was compared with Echeveria purhepecha and Echeveria patriotica, with whom it shares the closest morphological affinities. Additionally, Echeveria yalmanantlaensis an endangered species from Sierra of Manantlán Biosp...

Slip Distribution of the 19 September 1985 Michoacan , Mexico , Earthquake : near - Source and Teleseismic Constraints

We simultaneously invert the strong-motion velocity records and the longand intermediate-period teleseismic P waveforms of the 19 September 1985 Michoacan, Mexico, earthquake to recover the distribution of slip on the fault using a point-by-point constrained and stabilized, least-squares inversion method. A fault plane with strike fixed at 300 ° and dip fixed at 14 ° is placed in the region of ...

RAPD discloses high molecular diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from Michoacan, Mexico.

Random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) is an easy, inexpensive technique for the characterization of pathogens in low-income countries. In this study we used RAPD to assess the genetic diversity of a small collection of isolates of mycobacteria from the Mexican state of Michoacan. In contrast with the low annual tuberculosis incidence in Michoacan relative to the national average, we found a ...

Characteristics of the 1985 Michoacan

Source characteristics of the Sept. 19, 1985 Michoacan, Mexico earthquake and its aftershock on Sept. 21 were inferred from broadband and short-period teleseismic GDSN records. We Fourier-transformed the P waves, corrected for instrument response, attenuation, geometrical spreading, and radiation pattern (including the depth phases), and then averaged to obtain the teleseismic source spectrum f...
