The Degeneration of Cardon Populations in Baja California Sur, Mexico

Identifying recharge from tropical cyclonic storms, Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Groundwater in the Todos Santos watershed in southern Baja California, and throughout the peninsula south of latitude 28°N, has values of (δ18 O‰, δD‰) ranging between (-8.3, -57) and (-10.9, -78). Such negative values are uncharacteristic of the site latitude near the sea level. Altitude effects do not explain the isotope data. Tropical depressions originating along the Pacific coast of North ...

Raptors as Indicators of Environmental Change in the Scrub Habitat of Baja California Sur, Mexico

“Indicator” species of natural habitat quality are potentially useful tools for managers of biodiversity (Rohlf 1991). Predators are often considered indicators because they are at the top of food webs and need wide home-range areas to function. Predators play an important role in ecosystems because they can determine the community structure patterns of their prey (Menge et al. 1994). In additi...

Seasonal variability shapes resilience of small-scale fisheries in Baja California Sur, Mexico

Small-scale fisheries are an important source of food and livelihoods to coastal communities around the world. Understanding the seasonality of fisheries catch and composition is crucial to fisheries management, particularly in the context of changing environmental and socioeconomic conditions. While seasonal variability directly impacts the lives of fishers, most fisheries studies focus on lon...
