Why Rules Fail: Institutional Roots of Non-Compliance in Mexico’s Small-Scale Shark FisheryOA Marine
Small-scale fisheries management is a critical challenge for global fisheries sustainability. This study diagnoses the institutional failures behind overexploitation and regulatory non-compliance in Mexico’s shark-cazón fishery (predominantly Rhizoprionodon terraenovae). Using the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) Framework and Ostrom’s Social-Ecological Systems (SES) approach, we assessed the catch series (1976–201...
The striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) and white mullet (Mugil curema) support artisanal fishing at the mouth of the Soto La Marina River, Gulf of Mexico, an area of great ecological value within the Laguna Madre and Rio Bravo Delta Protected Natural Area, the Terrestrial Priority Region RTP-83, and the Marine Priority Region RMP-44. Given the absence of historical catch and effort time series—a typical constraint of data-limited...
Climate change and environmental pollution are two primary challenges facing biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Earthworms are key contributors to soil structure and nutrient cycling, and their molecular stress responses can provide an early indication of soil health impairment. Heat shock proteins are central to the stress response, and small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are ATP-independent chaperones that limit stress-indu...
Artisanal fisheries in Mexico frequently operate with limited data, lacking historical catch and effort series. In this context, the population status of the dogfish (Rhizoprionodon terraenovae) was evaluated for the first time in Priority Marine Regions 45–46 and the area of influence of the Wetland of International Importance Playa Tortuguera Rancho Nuevo, Tamaulipas, using methods based on size frequencies. Between November...
Key factors of the deranged antiviral response in elderly patients with COVID-19: a machine-learning analysisNARA Subscribed
Age is a well-known risk factor to develop severe viral respiratory infections, including severe COVID-19. This study aimed to identify the biological alterations linked to severe disease in elderly patients with COVID-19. For this purpose, we employed a derivation cohort with 450 SARS-CoV-2 infected and unvaccinated patients admitted to hospital wards and a validation cohort with 244 SARS-CoV-2 infected and unvaccinated patie...
In the present investigation, we explore the bioherbicidal activity of seven selected organic compounds (VOCs), previously identified as constituents of mixtures from four Hypoxylon anthochroum endophytic morphospecies. VOCs included four alcohols and three monoterpenes: 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 2-phenylethanol, and eucalyptol, ocimene and terpinolene. Individual VOCs or VOCs’ mixtures ex...
Climate change is a major driver of global biodiversity loss, yet the precise mechanisms linking climate change to population declines remain poorly understood. We developed a novel, broadly applicable framework that integrates biophysical, nutritional, and population modeling to capture fundamental physiological constraints on mammalian herbivores and applied it to investigate the causes of declines in ringtail possums of the...
A Comprehensive Review of Quality of Aquaculture Services in Integrated Multi-Trophic SystemsOA Marine
The concept of Quality of Aquaculture Services (QoAS) is inspired by the Quality of Service (QoS) principle, originally developed in the field of networks and telecommunications, where it refers to the ability to guarantee the quality, availability, and priority of service in a communications system. Adapted to the aquaculture context, QoAS is fundamental to maximising the benefits of Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA...
