    Cattle imported from the Iberian Peninsula spread throughout America in the early years of discovery and colonization to originate Creole breeds, which adapted to a wide diversity of environments and later received influences from other origins, including zebu cattle in more recent years. We analyzed uniparental genetic markers and autosomal microsatellites in DNA samples from 114 cattle breeds distributed worldwide, including 40 Creole breeds representing the whole American continent, and samples from the Iberian Peninsula, British islands, Continental Europe, Africa and American zebu. We show that Creole breeds differ considerably from each other, and most have their own identity or group with others from neighboring regions. Results with mtDNA indicate that T1c-lineages are rare in Iberia but common in Africa and are well represented in Creoles from Brazil and Colombia, lending support to a direct African influence on Creoles. This is reinforced by the sharing of a unique Y-haplotype between cattle from Mozambique and Creoles from Argentina. Autosomal microsatellites indicate that Creoles occupy an intermediate position between African and European breeds, and some Creoles show a clear Iberian signature. Our results confirm the mixed ancestry of American Creole cattle and the role that African cattle have played in their development

    La calidad de las contribuciones, producto de la pluma de especialistas en los temas tratados, el presente es un libro que esperamos, basándonos en la importancia de los temas tratados, sea de utilidad y abone a la reflexión de los estudiosos de la ganadería mexicana y, por supuesto, en beneficio de las familias ganaderas y de los consumidores de sus productos.este libro refleja en muchos sentidos la situación de la ganadería mexicana, a la que se le están demandando mayor producción y productividad, que los procesos productivos tengan la menor huella ecológicposible, que los alimentos sean inocuos, que se abatan costos de producción y, cada vez aumentan las presiones de diversos grupos para, que se incluyan los protocolos de bienestar animal, solamente por citar algunos de los retos que tiene. Algunas de estas demandas son complementarias, otras se contraponen, lo que hace valiosos a los estudios que desde las ciencias sociales se realizan y, desde diversas ópticas, se hagan propuestas de política pública balanceadas que consideren lo mejor de cada enfoque, pero sin desechar por completo los antagónicos.Universidad Autónoma Chaping

    EL DESARROLLO DE LA AVICULTURA EN TORNO A TEPATITLÁN DE MORELOS

    Mucho se ha escrito sobre el territorio alteño en lo referente a su identidad, desentrañando a una sociedad criolla, trabajadora, tenaz y emprendedora. Autores como Chevalier, Fábregas, Arias y otros, se han interesado en el estudio de la región y han hecho notar la necesidad de abordar temas que incluyan las relaciones campo-ciudad y sus vínculos inter­regionales. La nueva situación mundial y el papel del Estado mexicano frente a esa dinámica, hacen que la región evolucione a un ritmo dependiente de su capacidad de respuesta interna, por lo que estudios locales a nivel de las relaciones campo-ciudad son útiles para explicar los fenómenos resultantes de esta tendencia

    Una de las consecuencias de la Revolución Mexica­na fue la reforma agraria promulgada en 1915, y que dos años más tarde se incorpora a la Constitución Me­xicana. Así es como se desmiembra un modelo latifundista en el que menos del uno por ciento de la pobla­ción poseía el 97 por ciento de las tierras

    Los conglomerados humanos asentados en grandes metrópolis ejercen una creciente demanda de satisactores para su bienestar. Esta situación genera pre­siones sobre el entorno inmediato y, en ocasiones traspone sus propios intereses para obtenerlos.Los recursos naturales son la base material del desarrollo, por lo que la reducción y escasez de estos elementos generan una preocupación constante. De esta manera, las grandes áreas metropolitanas en­frentan constantes problemas financieros para pro­porcionar a sus pobladores los servicios básicos, prin­cipalmente agua, electricidad y drenaje.El problema de los servicios públicos no es nuevo, sin embargo, se agravó desde la década de los años ochenta, cuando la zona metropolitana de Guadalajara (ZMG) experimentó un acelerado crecimiento, desarrollado en buena medida al amparo de formas irregulares de urbanización

    Las memorias del 3er. Coloquio de Fortalecimiento de Colectivos de Docencia deben ser entendidas como un esfuerzo colectivo de la comunidad de académicos de la División de Ciencias y Artes para el Diseño, en medio de la pandemia COVID-19, con el fin de: • Analizar y proponer acciones concretas que promuevan el mejoramiento de la calidad docente en la División. • Proponer acciones que permitan continuar fortaleciendo los cursos con modalidad a distancia (remotos). • Ante un escenario que probablemente demandará en el mediano plazo, transitar del modelo remoto a un modelo híbrido, proponer acciones a considerar para la transición de los cursos. • Planear y preparar cursos de nivelación de conocimientos, para cuando se transite a la impartición de la docencia de manera mixta o presencial, dirigidos a los alumnos que no hayan tenido oportunidad de desarrollar actividades relevantes para su formación, como prácticas de talleres y laboratorios, visitas, o alguna otra actividad relevante
