Abstract The wild vine Vitis tiliifolia is found in Mexico, Central América, and the Caribbean region. In the Veracruz State, in Mexico, grows in several municipalities and is used for nutritional and therapeutic purposes. The geographical distribution and environment where this Vitis grow has not been recorded. The leaves of V. tiliifolia are rich in phenolic compounds but potential areas with vines of high phenolic compounds are unknown. An agroecological zoning model to identify potential areas for the cultivation and development of this species was performed. Potential areas having wild vines of high phenolic compounds in the leaves were also determined. The model included 95 vine georeferences, obtained from four municipalities of central Veracruz. These were analyzed with maximum entropy modeling, mapped with ArcMap software, and correlated with the phenolic compounds found in leaves collected in the georeferenced areas. A zoning map was produced, with a potential area of ​​2763.72 km2, which included the states of San Luis Potosi, Hidalgo, Veracruz, Puebla, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Agroclimatic variables of seasonality of temperature, precipitation, and organic matter in the soil were the most important for the development of this species. In the state of Veracruz, vines with the potential of high phenolic content were found in 29 municipalities with characteristics suitable for its cultivation. The highest phenolic content potential was found at altitudes between 1000 and 2000 meters in the municipalities of Huatusco and Cosautlán in the State of Veracruz.

ABSTRACT RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe is a United Nation'S Regional Activity Centre, established in 1994 by the International Maritime Organization and the United Nations Environment Program for the Caribbean Sea. The Centre exists to assists countries in the Wider Caribbean region and Latin America to prevent and respond to major oil pollution incidents. While developing a systematic approach to capacity building, resulting in comprehensive regional projects including the Caribbean Islands Regional OPRC Plan and the Central America CAOP Project (design to establish a Central America Regional OPRC Plan), the constant interaction of the Centre within the region with the various cultures of response preparedness, regularly raises the following questions:– How to improve a standard, constant, and effective system for capacity building in regards to contingency planning?– How to improve the co-operation between the regional partners?– How to define a better mechanism for funding? The analysis of the last ten years activities developed by the Centre shows the alternation of established priorities developed under the objectives of the strategic plan for enhancing regional response preparedness. Key components for the definition of a long term development cycle, required to build capacity, and enhance regional co-operation, are identified. The elements to stand out are:– the development of a constructive succession in the activities thematic;– a time frame of 5 years to complete a cycle for a regional centre with RAC/REMPEITC characteristics;– the key role of metrics to assess priorities for the cycle;– the need of a common overview of the process to facilitate co-operation / co-ordination;– the need of sustained commitment. The identification of those parameters allow a regional centre to clarify the status of national contingency planning for governments, establish the extent of training and exercises needed in the region and most importantly, facilitates the synchronization of resources and support between stakeholders.

The larval stages of Tricorythodes fictus Traver, T. cobbi Alba-Tercedor and Flannagan, and T. mosegus Alba-Tercedor and Flannagan are described for the first time based upon reared specimens. The rarely reported Asioplax dolani (Allen) is newly documented from the Austroriparian ecological region of Texas. Leptohyphes zalope Traver, known from the southwestern United States and much of Central America, is newly documented from the Caribbean Islands of Grenada and Tobago. This represents only the second leptohyphid mayfly known from both Continental America and the Caribbean region. Additional Caribbean records of Allenhyphes flinti (Allen) are also given.

The Pan American Federation of Associations of Faculties (Schools) of Medicine - FEPAFEM/PAFAMS - is a non-governmental, on-profit academic organization that joins the National Associations of Medical Schools for the Hemisphere. For some countries the growth in the number of schools and colleges has been explosive in recent decades to where now there are, in fact, about 706 medical schools in the Americas: 181 in North America, 190 in Central America and the Caribbean region and 335 in South America. This represents approximately 31% of the world total. Of these, 559 (79%) of the hemisphere´s medical schools are affiliated with FEPAFEM/PAFAMS.

Caribbean Populations

The diverse group of people referred to as Caribbean Americans come from the Circum-Caribbean region, which includes the island nations of the Caribbean Sea and the nations of Central America from Belize to Panama—35 nations in all. The heterogeneity of the Caribbean population is due to the colonization and geopolitical division of the region among English, Dutch, Spanish, and French colonizers, which resulted in many different cultures, ethnic groups, languages, educational systems, religious beliefs, and practices. However, the majority of the Caribbean populations share an African ancestry.

The genus Melocactus of the family Cactaceae, subfamily Cactoideae is com - posed of 38 species distributed in Brazil, Central America, the Caribbean and in the Andes, and in Brazil the greatest world diversity of this genus (23 species) occurs. In the state of Sergipe, the Caatinga ecosystem occupies almost 50% of its territory, vegetation, where the largest number of species of the genus Melocactus occurs in Brazil. This study aimed to make a floristic survey of the genus Melocactus in the state of Sergipe and to analyze aspects of its conservation. The results were obtained through a survey in the herbarium database (ASE), SpeciesLink and field collections, where geographic coordinates and altitude were recorded. Specimens in the reproductive phase were collected for registration and identification in the herbarium (ASE). The phytogeographical domain of the species was identified in the macro - regions of the state, which made it possible to record the occurrence of five species of this genus, and a new one ( Melocactus sergipensis ), which is critically endangered.
