This updated and expanded A New Island Biogeography of the Sea of Cort'es, first published nearly 20 years ago, integrates new and broader studies encompassing more taxa and more complete island coverage. The present synthesis provides a basis for further research and exploration in upcoming years of the biologically fascinating Sea of Cort'es region. The Gulf region is increasingly being exploited, for its natural resources by way of marine fisheries, and for its stunning natural beauty by way of a burgeoning tourism industry. Further, the region's human population is increasing apace. It is appropriate, therefore, that this volume discusses these evolving circumstances, and the efforts of the Mexican government to regulate and manage them. The new Biogeography includes a section on the conservation issues in the Sea of Cort'es, past accomplishments and conservation needs as yet outstanding. This book should be of strong interest to conservation biologists, ecologists, and evolutionary biologists more generally.

Abstract: The western Transverse Ranges and southern Coast Ranges of California are adjacent to one another but experience different deformation styles and rates. We used marine terraces along the coast between these two areas as markers to see how the fast rates of uplift and deformation in the western Transverse Ranges transition to slower rates in the southern Coast Ranges. Recent improvements to sediment dating techniques, paleo sea-level curves, and remote imagery allowed for mapping of marine terraces from Point Conception to Point Sal in south-central coastal California to fill data gaps in coastal uplift rates and evaluate implications for existing data and models to better understand amount and timing of local and regional uplift. We used post infrared-infrared stimulated luminescence dating to determine ages of two flights of marine terraces at five locations. Refined terrace chronology indicates the lowest emergent marine terrace formed ~49.5 ka and the other, higher emergent marine terrace formed ~84 ka. Refined terrace ages suggest rock uplift rates ranging from 0.59 to 1.96 m/ka throughout the study area from 84 ka to present. Our data suggests the Santa Maria Basin, which is the transition zone between the rotating Transverse Ranges and non-rotating southern Coast Ranges, has coastal uplift rates more similar to the western Transverse Ranges than the southern Coast Ranges. Our data is consistent with models that attribute Quaternary shortening and uplift of the Santa Maria Basin to ongoing vertical axis rotation of the western Transverse Ranges, which is accommodated by an underlying detachment fault and ramp.

Abstract: Santa Catalina Island (SCI) sits offshore of Palos Verdes Peninsula (PVP) within the Southern California Continental Borderland (SCCB). Paleomagnetic data suggests that SCI and PVP rotated approximately 90° clockwise since the early Miocene during the same tectonic episode that rotated and translated the Western Transverse Range into its present-day location. A more recent paleomagnetic study on PVP, indicated little to no rotation. PVP and SCI share similar geology, so an updated paleomagnetic study on SCI was needed to address the possibility of a similar discrepancy.

Few places in the world can claim such a diversity of species as the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), with its 6,000 recorded animal species estimated to be half the number actually living in its waters. So rich are the Gulf's water that over a half-million tons of seafood are taken from them annuallyÑand this figure does not count the wasted by-catch, which would triple or quadruple that tonnage. This timely book provides a benchmark for understanding the Gulf's extraordinary diversity, how it is threatened, and in what ways it isÑor should beÑprotected. In spite of its dazzling richness, most of the Gulf's coastline now harbors but a pale shadow of the diversity that existed just a half-century ago. Recommendations based on sound, careful science must guide Mexico in moving forward to protect the Gulf of California. This edited volume contains contributions by twenty-four Gulf of California experts, from both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. From the origins of the Gulf to its physical and chemical characteristics, from urgently needed conservation alternatives for fisheries and the entire Gulf ecosystem to information about its invertebrates, fishes, cetaceans, and sea turtles, this thought-provoking book provides new insights and clear paths to achieve sustainable use solidly based on robust science. The interdisciplinary, international cooperation involved in creating this much-needed collection provides a model for achieving success in answering critically important questions about a precious but rapidly disappearing ecological treasure.

Mexico is an extensive country with an extremely complex mosaic of landscapes. The soils of Mexico have still not been completely studied, and there are few publications available on this subject. This book provides a state-of-the-art view on Mexican soils, their geographical distribution, their use and degradation. This is a first attempt to give a systematized characteristic of the soil resources of Mexico. Land resources of the second-biggest economy in Latin America are critical for its sustainable development, and a demand for adequate soil information is high. The information contained within can be used for any soil-related research done in Mexico and in neighboring countries. The book includes detailed characteristics of soils of all the physiographic regions of Mexico with maps, photos and explanatory schemes. The book is based on the experiences of the authors in research and soil survey, as well as on the existent, mainly ‘grey’ literature on Mexican soils. The book is recommended for researchers and university readers, students of all levels and decision-makers, working in the area of soil science, environmental issues, Earth sciences, land management and nature conservation.
