El complejo Xyleborus glabratus - Rafaela lauricola en México: un análisis sobre los costos económicos asociados con la plaga

Luis Gerardo Zapata Barrientos (2020, [Tesis de maestría])

Este trabajo hace una evaluación de los costos económicos asociados con la llegada del complejo ambrosial Xyleborus glabratus – Rafaela lauricola a México. Hay tres objetivos de estudio: realizar una estimación de los efectos de la plaga sobre la industria productora de aguacate, hacer un análisis insumo producto para calcular su impacto indirecto en otras industrias y realizar una evaluación de sus efectos sobre la provisión de servicios ecositémicos en México. Este trabajo concluye que el costo económico de la plaga oscilaría entre 1,352.38 y 4,509.84 millones de pesos para los productores de aguacate y entre 581.09 y 2,905.47 millones de pesos en servicios ecosistémicos. Además, el choque afectaría otras industrias de forma indirecta: proveedores agrícolas en su mayoría. Dichos efectos estarían focalizados en el estado de Michoacán y en los bosques de encino y de encino pino.

Impactos del desplazamiento forzado sobre el sector agrícola: el caso colombiano

Wilmer Vladimir Ferrer Vargas (2021, [Tesis de maestría])

La intensificación del conflicto civil colombiano tuvo como una de sus peores consecuencias el desplazamiento forzado. El propósito de este trabajo es estudiar el impacto del desplazamiento forzado en el sector agrícola colombiano. Con este fin, se estudiaron las características de los principales cultivos. Para responder a esta pregunta se estima un modelo panel de efectos fijos de para todos los municipios de Colombia entre 2011-2016. Los resultados muestran que el desplazamiento forzado tiene efectos negativos principalmente en las unidades familiares y estos efectos se amplifican en presencia de mercados ilegales.

Rapid effects of marine reserves via larval dispersal

Richard Cudney Bueno (2009, [Artículo])

Marine reserves have been advocated worldwide as conservation and fishery management tools. It is argued that they can protect ecosystems and also benefit fisheries via density-dependent spillover of adults and enhanced larval dispersal into fishing areas. However, while evidence has shown that marine reserves can meet conservation targets, their effects on fisheries are less understood. In particular, the basic question of if and over what temporal and spatial scales reserves can benefit fished populations via larval dispersal remains unanswered. We tested predictions of a larval transport model for a marine reserve network in the Gulf of California, Mexico, via field oceanography and repeated density counts of recently settled juvenile commercial mollusks before and after reserve establishment. We show that local retention of larvae within a reserve network can take place with enhanced, but spatially-explicit, recruitment to local fisheries. Enhancement occurred rapidly (2 yrs), with up to a three-fold increase in density of juveniles found in fished areas at the downstream edge of the reserve network, but other fishing areas within the network were unaffected. These findings were consistent with our model predictions. Our findings underscore the potential benefits of protecting larval sources and show that enhancement in recruitment can be manifested rapidly. However, benefits can be markedly variable within a local seascape. Hence, effects of marine reserve networks, positive or negative, may be overlooked when only focusing on overall responses and not considering finer spatially-explicit responses within a reserve network and its adjacent fishing grounds. Our results therefore call for future research on marine reserves that addresses this variability in order to help frame appropriate scenarios for the spatial management scales of interest. © 2009 Cudney-Bueno et al.

Protein retention assessment of four levels of poultry by-product substitution of fishmeal in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diets using stable isotopes of nitrogen (δ15N) as natural tracers

DANIEL BADILLO ZAPATA (2014, [Artículo])

This is second part from an experiment where the nitrogen retention of poultry by-product meal (PBM) compared to fishmeal (FM) was evaluated using traditional indices. Here a quantitative method using stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (δ15N values) as natural tracers of nitrogen incorporation into fish biomass is assessed. Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed for 80 days on isotopically distinct diets in which 0, 33, 66 and 100% of FM as main protein source was replaced by PBM. The diets were isonitrogenous, isolipidic and similar in gross energy content. Fish in all treatments reached isotopic equilibrium by the end of the experiment. Two-source isotope mixing models that incorporated the isotopic composition of FM and PBM as well as that of formulated feeds, empirically derived trophic discrimination factors and the isotopic composition of fish that had reached isotopic equilibrium to the diets were used to obtain a quantitative estimate of the retention of each source of nitrogen. Fish fed the diets with 33 and 66% replacement of FM by PBM retained poultry by-product meal roughly in proportion to its level of inclusion in the diets, whereas no differences were detected in the protein efficiency ratio. Coupled with the similar biomass gain of fishes fed the different diets, our results support the inclusion of PBM as replacement for fishmeal in aquaculture feeds. A re-feeding experiment in which all fish were fed a diet of 100% FM for 28 days indicated isotopic turnover occurred very fast, providing further support for the potential of isotopic ratios as tracers of the retention of specific protein sources into fish tissues. Stable isotope analysis is a useful tool for studies that seek to obtain quantitative estimates of the retention of different protein sources. © 2014 Badillo et al.
