“…Finally, it seems imperative that rare, endemic species should be assigned high priority for research efforts. Successful conservation efforts for rare and endemic taxa are dependent upon population estimates, distribution surveys and habitat characterizations that are currently lacking for many of Baja California’s endemic species (Vanderplank et al. , 2018) and other sensitive plant and animal species around the globe (Kruckeberg and Rabinowitz, 1985; Harper et al.…”

“…, 2016). SSPM contains the highest point of elevation in Baja California (Picacho del Diablo, 3096 m), intercepting northwesterly winds to create the Mediterranean climate on its western slopes and a rainshadow that gives way to Sonoran desert on its eastern slopes (Vanderplank et al. , 2018).…”

“…Baja California contains approximately 3100 plant species of which 23.7% are endemic to the peninsula (Rebman et al. , 2016), with at least 66 species endemic to SSPM (Riemann and Ezcurra, 2005, 2007; Vanderplank et al. , 2018).…”

“…The coastal corridor of the province in Baja California faces the greatest development and urbanization pressures in the state (Riemann and Ezcurra, 2007). Despite being the area of greatest need for protection of endemic species, the only protections for coastal lands in Baja California's California floristic province are through private protected areas and natural reserves, "areas voluntarily set aside for conservation" under Mexican law (Vanderplank, Rebman, and Ezcurra, 2017). San Quintín is best known for its pristine wetlands, which have been the model for restoration efforts in California.…”

“…The San Quintín fiddleneck (Amsinckia inepta), San Quintín liveforever (Dudleya anthonyi), and San Quintín linanthus (Leptosiphon laxus) are among eight plant species found nowhere else on earth (Vanderplank, 2011a). When compared with five other regions of northwestern Baja California, San Quintín is home to the largest number of state endemic and near-endemic plants (70), more than Sierra San Pedro Mártir, which has an elevation range of more than 1,000 meters (Vanderplank, Rebman, and Ezcurra, 2017). San Quintín also shelters a large number of species that are listed in California as rare, threatened, or endangered (Vanderplank, 2011b).…”

The social and environmental effects of industrial agriculture in the San Quintín Valley of Baja California are closely related. An environmental history of the valley from European contact to the present demonstrates that modern schemes of globalized agricultural production erode biological diversity while fostering labor exploitation. A critical model drawing on the concept of environmental violence— historically structured asymmetrical power relations that are reproduced and maintained to foster capital accumulation—describes how neoliberalism shapes and exploits agro-industrial landscapes and livelihoods in San Quintín to produce a crisis of underproduction. Los efectos sociales y ambientales de la agricultura industrial en el Valle de San Quintín de Baja California están estrechamente relacionados. Una historia ambiental del valle, desde el contacto europeo hasta el presente demuestra que los esquemas modernos de producción agrícola globalizada erosionan la diversidad biológica al mismo tiempo que fomentan la explotación laboral. Un modelo crítico basado en el concepto de violencia ambiental (relaciones de poder asimétricas históricamente estructuradas que se reproducen y mantienen para fomentar la acumulación de capital) describe cómo el neoliberalismo da forma a y explota los paisajes agroindustriales y los medios de vida en San Quintín, augurando hacia una crisis de subproducción.

This is the first report evaluating the genetic diversity of Mexican grape species utilizing DNA-based markers to understand the distribution of grape species, and patterns of hybridization. The study utilized accessions maintained in three collections in Mexico, one in the USA and recently collected germplasm. Fifteen SSR markers were used to develop a fingerprint database to identify unique germplasm. Two different clustering analyses without prior population assignment, were used to identify groups that were verified by a Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components and a Principal Coordinate Analysis. Genetic diversity estimates were made across and within groups to validate the results obtained from the clustering analyses. Multiple clustering analyses and diversity parameters supported six genetic groups representing different geographic regions. The Northeastern group was the most diverse with a geographic range extending to Eastern and Central Mexico, while the Coahuila group was the least diverse. Vitis arizonica Engelm. and Vitis cinerea Engelm. ex Millardet were the most abundant species with many hybrid forms. We provide evidence that wild grape species in Mexico follow the physical barriers of mountain ranges like the Sierra Madre Oriental with an east–west divide and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt as a corridor for gene flow among different grape species. Additional collections are required to fully understand the extent of hybridization and to clarify hybrid zones.
