Banned or restricted organochlorine pesticides in many countries worldwide are still in use in developing countries for agricultural and livestock activities, as well as for vector control in public health campaigns. The present study was conducted to map estimated concentrations of organochlorine pesticides in a karstic region in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, known as ‘Ring of Cenotes’. Water samples from 20 sinkholes (‘cenotes’) were collected during the dry and rainy seasons in 2010–11, analysed by gas chromatography and maps of pesticide concentrations were produced using geographical information system. Results show the presence of banned pesticides, all of them exceeding the limits stated by the Mexican Official Norm. The number and concentration of pesticides during the dry season were qualitatively and quantitatively higher than in the rainy season. The spatial distribution of pesticide concentrations shows that causes of pesticide pollution in the aquifer of the Ring of Cenotes are multifactorial.

We present 52 new geographic location records for the peracarid crustacean Antromysis cenotensis Creaser, 1936, endemic in cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. This species is currently considered threatened and, therefore, is protected by Mexican law. These results arise from several expeditions carried out between 2017 and 2020 in 75 locations within the cenote-ring, the interior, and coastal plains of the peninsula. A comprehensive literature review provided 84 geographic location records since the species was described in 1936. A map with 136 geographic location records that better describe the current species distribution is also included. With this information, plus some notes on the ecology of the species, a comprehensive literature and data review, and a brief analysis regarding the possible factors associated with the confirmed absence of the species in some locations in the state of Yucatan, we provide a brief and condensed summary of the actual knowledge on this particular species. The data in Darwin Core format can be retrieved in Zenodo.

“…Esta unidad fisiográfica se subdivide a la vez en tres subprovincias: Carso Yucateco con un 55 % del territorio; Carso y Lomeríos de Campeche (24 %) y Costa Baja de QR con un 21 % de la superficie del estado (INEGI, 2001). De acuerdo con Bautista et al, (2005), las unidades del paisaje geomorfológico en QR presentan un cierto grado de homogeneidad morfogenética, por lo cual existe un estrecho vínculo entre estos paisajes geomorfológicos y el comportamiento de los acuíferos. Las unidades son principalmente planicies de origen carsotectónico que abarcan desde el norte hasta el sur del área de interés, y solo hay una unidad de lomeríos que se ubica en la porción sur, la cual posee las mayores altitudes de QR, entre 200 y 400m msnm (INEGI, 2000).…”

Se presenta un mapa que muestra la distribución de la geodiversidad del estado de Quintana Roo (QR), México, que forma parte de la tesis doctoral “Delimitación de espacios potenciales para la conformación de geoparques: una estrategia para la conservación del patrimonio geológico de Quintana Roo”. Se aplicó un nuevo método que denominamos Geodiversidad Ponderada (WGd), que se apoya en una definición específica de geodiversidad e integra métodos numéricos y análisis geográfico. Se compiló información cartográfica principalmente a escala 1:250,000, se utilizaron algunos elementos del método de análisis multicriterio Proceso Analítico Jerárquico (AHP), así como técnicas de análisis cartográfico en un sistema de información geográfica (SIG) con el fin de ponderar, priorizar e integrar las características de la geodiversidad del área de interés y representarlas en un documento cartográfico. El resultado fue un mapa a escala 1:800,000 con cinco clases de geodiversidad del área de estudio, material que puede servir para los interesados en la legislación y conservación del medio ambiente de QR.
