Members of the copepod family Lernaeopodidae are parasites of chondrichthyan and actinopterygian fishes, with the genus Naobranchia Hesse, 1863 being one of the most diverse groups parasitizing the gills of marine fishes. The genus currently comprises 21 species; however, molecular data for most species remain unavailable or poorly validated. In this study, copepod specimens were collected from the gills of Mugil cephalus Linn...

Summary Thyrsanthemum latibracteatum , a new species from the state of Guerrero, Mexico, is here described and illustrated. The proposed taxon is compared with T . floribundum , T . goldianum and T . longifolium , species with which it shares some similarities. A morphological description and images of the new taxon are presented along with a distribution map and a list of the specimens examined of both Thyrsanthemum species (...

The assessment of the sustainability status of territories is a prerequisite for the development of public policy strategies to be implemented on them aimed at attaining established sustainability goals. A socioenvironmental systems perspective, in which economic, social and environmental aspects constituting these territories and their interactions between them are considered, allows for a comprehensive analysis of the dynami...

In this work, an electrochemical system combined with low-cost UV-LEDs was implemented for the inactivation of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . The individual elimination of these bacteria was followed by plate counting and flow cytometry, as complementary techniques to establish the cell inactivation and non-viability, respectively. The contribution of the different parts of the disinfection system (anode, cathod...

The east of Cali is composed of loose sand deposits with high water table levels. This condition and the high seismic hazard of the city make cyclic liquefaction one of the main hazards in the city, which may affect more than 600,000 citizens and important infrastructures such as the city’s main drinking water treatment plants. Therefore, it was decided to design and implement a seismic monitoring center to study the behavior...
