La formación de recursos humanos para la oceanografía y las ciencias del mar

Because of their physical, chemical, geological and biological characteristics sea integrates a very complex and interesting ecosystem. For this reason research should also be interdisciplinary as well as multidisciplinary in order to link marine sciences and oceanography with society. In México, the existing qualified staff does not satisfy the demand, both in quantity and in quality, to fulfill the positions necessary for the exploitation of renewable and non renewable natural resources. In this work it is proposed a revision of programs at schools, so that the education of scientific, technical and human resources specialized in marine sciences may satisfy present and future needs in the field of marine research and the inherent technological development.

La formación de recursos humanos para la oceanografía y las ciencias del mar

En este ensayo se propone una revisión de los programas de estudio para que la preparación de recursos humanos, científicos y técnicos especializados en las ciencias del mar satisfaga las necesidades presentes y futuras en el campo de la investigación marina y en el desarrollo tecnológico inherente

La biodiversidad marina: el caso de los ostrácodos

Ecological terms of recurrent use are presented, as for instance biota, biotopo, biocenosis, biotic, abiotic, ecosystem, biodiversity. The biological diversity of ostracoda (Crustacea) in the marine ecosystem is analysed, as well as the role it plays in plancton, bentos and necton, and its biology and habitats are discussed. The ICMyL, UNAM (México's National University) has carried out research, and about 760 species of ostracods have been reported, 300 in the Gulf of México, 110 in the Caribbean Sea and3 50 in the Pacific. The need for more research in the Pacific and the Caribbean Sea is emphasized.

La biodiversidad marina: el caso de los ostrácodos

Se presentan conceptos claros de términos ecológicos utilizados frecuentemente, como biota, biótopo, biocenosis, biótica, abióticas, ecosistema, biodiversídad, entre otros. Además se hace el análisis de la diversidad biológica de los ostrácodos en el ecosistema marino, el papel que juegan en el plancton, en el bentosy el necton,y se hacen consideraciones sobre su biología y sus hábitos

Panorama general de la paleontología mexicana

A total of 1,720 references to research papers on Mexican fossils, covering all states of the Mexican Republic, was compiled through the revision of both Mexican and foreign publications. Of such a total, 10 references correspond to the Precambrian, 150 to the Paleozoic, 687 to the Mesozoic, and 688 to the Cenozoic, while 101 encompass more than one era and 84 do not specify the age covered. Regarding distribution by taxonomic group, 686 articles are on invertebrates, 409 on vertebrates, 331 on microfossils, and 175 on plants, while the rest (119) is made up by papers a) on more than one taxonomic group, b) on organisms which do not fall into one of the four aforementioned groups, or c) not specifying which taxonomic group they refer to.A través de una recopilación de 1,720 citas en publicaciones nacionales y extranjeras, se hace un análisis sobre el estudio de los fósiles en México realizado por científicos mexicanos
