Publicar una especie nueva para la ciencia es siempre una tarea interesante y retadora, sobre todo en los tiempos modernos, donde la comunidad de sistemáticos de plantas y las revistas científicas exigen investigaciones de biología comparada más completas, integrando diferentes fuentes de evidencia (morfológica y molecular), más allá de una simple descripción morfológica. Esta historia comenzó hace más de 15 años y terminó este año, cuando Gonolobus caamali Carnevali & R. Duno (Apocynaceae), fue descrita como una nueva especie para la ciencia. Presentamos aquí algunos detalles de esta especie.

Gender parity and socioeconomic representation in subnational legislatures in Mexico: more equitable congresses?

Fernando Patron Katya Rodríguez Gómez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The article analyzes if gender parity in subnational legislatures in México has produced a more equitable social representation. It explores the plurality of gender parity in terms of socioeconomic differences, and female and male representation. Using data from Censo de Poderes legislativos Estatales 2020, the article classifies subnational legislators by socioeconomic levels and compared with CONEVAL’s methodology of social stratification in Mexico. The tested hypothesis is that gender parity has not produced a favorable impact on a more equitable political representation in socioeconomic terms so far. Female and male political representation continues to be dominated by upper socioeconomic levels.

Desarrollo y evaluación de un modelo de la onda cinemática aplicado al riego en melgas y su comparación con el modelo hidrológico

Development and evaluation of a kinematic wave model applied to border irrigation and comparison with the hydrologic model

Juan Manuel Angeles LUIS RENDON PIMENTEL OSCAR LUIS PALACIOS VELEZ RAFAEL ACOSTA HERNANDEZ (1998, [Artículo])

Durante la aplicación del agua de riego a los cultivos, en ciertos casos el agua debe suspenderse antes de que el frente de avance llegue al final de la melga, para así logar una mejor eficiencia de aplicación. Esta situación del escurrimiento superficial se presenta bien con la ecuación de la onda cinemática, que consiste en la simplificación de loas ecuaciones de Saint Venant. Se diseñó un programa de computadora que resuelve numéricamente la ecuación de la onda cinemática. El transporte del agua en el suelo se representó con la ecuación de infiltración propuesta por Green y Ampt. El modelo fue calibrado y evaluado con respecto a resultados de pruebas de riego aplicadas en un cultivo de trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) En la evaluación del modelo se obtuvo un cuadrado medio del error (CME) de 1.24 minutos para la fase de avance y de 0.68 para la recesión. Al comparar el modelo hidrológico con los datos de campo, el CME fue de 0.86 y de 1.04 minutos para el modelo de la onda cinemática y el hidrológico, respectivamente.

Current variability by wave propagation in Todos Santos Bay, Baja California

Variabilidad de corrientes por propagación de ondas en bahía Todos Santos, Baja California, México

EFRAIN MATEOS FARFAN SILVIO GUIDO LORENZO MARINONE MOSCHETTO (2017, [Artículo])

The temperature, velocity, and sea level fields for a summer climatological month (August) were analyzed using tridimensional and baroclinic model outputs in Todos Santos Bay (TSB), Baja California, Mexico. The numerical model was forced with wind (nonstationary), heat flux, and California Current System climatology on the open boundary. The 3- to 5-day current variability is related to a baroclinic wave traveling towards the northwest of the bay. Wave travel periodicity was due to the release of accumulated water from the Ensenada–Punta Banda Estuary (E–PBE) region. Local wind stress causes southeastward water flow and, given the TSB geometry, water accumulates in the E–PBE region. Weakening wind stress was the main cause of water release. In addition, complex empirical ortogonal function analysis found that outer TSB disturbances cause sea level variability.

Addressing agricultural labour issues is key to biodiversity-smart farming

Thomas Daum Frédéric Baudron Matin Qaim Ingo Grass (2023, [Artículo])

There is an urgent need for agricultural development strategies that reconcile agricultural production and biodiversity conservation. This is especially true in the Global South where population growth is rapid and much of the world's remaining biodiversity is located. Combining conceptual thoughts with empirical insights from case studies in Indonesia and Ethiopia, we argue that such strategies will have to pay more attention to agricultural labour dynamics. Farmers have a strong motivation to reduce the heavy toil associated with farming by adopting technologies that save labour but can negatively affect biodiversity. Labour constraints can also prevent farmers from adopting technologies that improve biodiversity but increase labour intensity. Without explicitly accounting for labour issues, conservation efforts can hardly be successful. We hence highlight the need for biodiversity-smart agriculture, that is farming practices or systems that reconcile biodiversity with land and labour productivity. Our empirical insights suggest that technological and institutional options to reconcile farmers' socio-economic goals and biodiversity conservation exist but that more needs to be done to implement such options at scale.

Potential impact of prosthetic biomaterials on the periodontium: a comprehensive review.

NATIVIDAD CASTRO ALARCON Artak Heboyan Gustavo Fernandes Norma Samanta Romero Castro (2023, [Artículo])

The success of a prosthetic treatment is closely related to the periodontal health of the individual. The aim of this article was to review and present the importance of prosthetic restorative materials on the condition of the periodontium, the changes that occur in the composition of the subgingival microbiota and the levels of inflammatory markers in gingival crevicular fluid. Articles on the influence of different prosthetic restorative materials on subgingival microbiota and proinflammatory cytokines were searched for using the keywords ¿prosthetic biomaterials¿, ¿fixed prosthesis¿, ¿periodontal health¿, ¿subgingival microbiota¿, ¿periodontal biomarkers¿ and ¿gingival crevicular fluid¿ in PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, Scopus and Google Scholar. The type of material used for prosthesis fabrication together with poor marginal and internal fit can result in changes in the composition of the subgingival microbiota, as well as increased accumulation and retention of dentobacterial plaque, thus favoring the development of periodontal disease and prosthetic treatment failure. Biological markers have helped to understand the inflammatory response of different prosthetic materials on periodontal tissues with the main purpose of improving their clinical application

in patients who need them. Metal-free ceramic prostheses induce a lower inflammatory response regardless of the fabrication method; however, the use of CAD/CAM systems is recommended for their fabrication. In addition, it is presumed that metal-ceramic prostheses cause changes in the composition of the subgingival microbiota producing a more dysbiotic biofilm with a higher prevalence of periodontopathogenic bacteria, which may further favor periodontal deterioration.
