“…Socio-economic conditions are also important (Calderón-Contreras, White, 2020). To safeguard these unique areas, future conservation efforts should focus on establishing natural protected areas (Arenas-Navarro et al, 2023). PCA (Principal Component Analysis) indicated locations with a high diversity of species (Fig.…”

Ecological integrity, a pivotal concept, characterizes the capacity of an ecosystem to perpetuate an interwoven, sustainable, and adaptable ecological system that encompasses the entire spectrum of elements and processes one would anticipate in the natural backdrop of a given region. This article also sheds light on the status of the wild European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.), which faces endangerment in its native habitat. Conversely, in Mexico, it has proven highly invasive. The presence of European rabbits in Mexico can lead to direct competition with native herbivores, potentially reducing their populations and altering the species composition of plants. Efforts to mitigate the ecological implications of invasive European rabbits in Mexico may include the implementation of control and eradication measures, the restoration of native habitats, and increased public awareness and education about the impact of invasive species on ecosystems. These actions are essential to safeguard Mexico's biodiversity and Natural Capital Index. A practical recommendation in this research is to fortify the protection ranges of isolated priority areas. O. cuniculus distribution may increase in the future. Eliminating rabbits from certain sites can generate more problems than it solves.

“…This great diversification of legumes on the world occurred almost in synchrony with other groups of angiosperm plants, as well as mammals, insects, and birds, approximately Plants 2024, 13, 403 2 of 62 in the Early Tertiary [16]. The distribution and overlap patterns of legume species have allowed us to identify areas of endemism in Mexico where species of the genera of this clade stand out, such as Mariosousa, Mimosa, and Vachellia [17].…”

A synoptic compendium of the legumes of the Mimosoideae clade in northeastern Mexico is presented for the first time, including changes in their botanical nomenclature and retypification of genera. Furthermore, based on new information recently published, the taxonomic limits of several new genera segregated from Acacia (Acaciella, Mariosousa, Senegalia, and Vachellia) and Prosopis (Neltuma and Strombocarpa) are clarified and included. Based on field work, collection of botanical samples over the past 30 years, and reviewing botanical materials in national and international herbaria, we have completed the diversity of legumes of the Mimosoideae clade of northeastern Mexico. Three tribes (Acacieae, Ingeae, and Mimosaeae), 22 genera, 92 species, and 19 infraspecific categories were recorded. Only the genus Painteria is endemic to Mexico. Eighty-eight species are native to Mexico, and four are exotic: Acacia salicina, Neptunia prostrata, Neltuma chilensis and Albizia lebbeck. Twenty-eight species are endemic to Mexico, nine species are endemic to northeastern Mexico, and four species are endemic to only one state in Mexico. The 22 registered genera represent 44% and 65% of the generic flora of the Mimosoideae clade for Mexico and the planet, respectively, while the 92 species registered represent 3% and 18% of the species of the clade Mimosoideae for the planet and Mexico, respectively. According to the new nomenclature of legumes, the number of genera in the Mimosoideae clade in northern Mexico has increased from 19 to 24.
