Historical distribution of species of the genus Haematoxylum (Leguminosae) in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, based on herbarium specimens
Background and Aims: Haematoxylum is represented in the Yucatan Peninsula by two species. The best-known species is logwood (H. campechianum) and recently, in 2014, H. calakmulense was described. The objectives of this study were to determine and characterize the areas of historical presence of both...

| description | Background and Aims: Haematoxylum is represented in the Yucatan Peninsula by two species. The best-known species is logwood (H. campechianum) and recently, in 2014, H. calakmulense was described. The objectives of this study were to determine and characterize the areas of historical presence of both species in the Yucatan Peninsula and within the current system of National Protected Natural Areas (ANPs).Methods: To obtain historical records of both species the main herbaria that owe specimens of both species were consulted: CICY, CIQR, ENCB, MEXU, UADY, UCAM and XAL. To characterize the areas where records were taken, variables like land use, elevation, climate, morpho-edaphology and potential and active morpho-ecological systems in the Yucatan Peninsula were used. For both species the number of records present within federal Protected Natural Areas was also calculated.Key results: Haematoxylum campechianum is present in more scattered locations throughout the Peninsula, while H. calakmulense is mostly seen towards the center of the Peninsula, towards the south, around and inside the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve and in the periphery of the Bala’an K’aax Wildlife Protected Area. For both species most of the records were from areas with a combination of Leptosol-Vertisol soils, in a warm and subhumid climate with a predominance of high and medium semi-evergreen forests. Most of the populations of the two species develop outside of the protected areas.Conclusions: There are many information gaps and unexplored areas for H. campechianum and H. calakmulense. It would be relevant to take these into account in future studies, which would help to complement existing information and would allow for accurately determining their conservation status. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El género Haematoxylum está representado en la Península de Yucatán por dos especies. La más conocida es el palo de tinte (H. campechianum) y recientemente, en 2014, fue descrita H. calakmulense. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar y caracterizar las áreas de presencia histórica de ambas especies en la Península de Yucatán y dentro del sistema actual de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (ANPs) federales.Métodos: Para obtener registros históricos de presencia de ambas especies se consultaron los principales herbarios que reúnen ejemplares de las mismas: CICY, CIQR, ENCB, MEXU, UADY, UCAM y XAL. Para caracterizar las áreas donde se tomaron los registros se utilizaron coberturas de suelo, altimetría, climas, morfo-edafología y sistemas ecológicos potenciales y activos en la Península de Yucatán. Se calculó el número de registros de ambas especies contenidos dentro de las Áreas Naturales Protegidas (ANPs) federales.Resultados clave: Haematoxylum campechianum está presente en un mayor número de localidades dispersas por toda la Península, mientras que H. calakmulense se observa mayormente hacia el interior de la Península, en la parte meridional, en los alrededores y el interior de la Reserva de la Biosfera de Calakmul y en la periferia del Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna Bala’an K’aax. Para ambas especies la mayor parte de los registros se tomaron en áreas con una combinación de suelos Leptosoles-Vertisoles, con un clima cálido subhúmedo y con predominancia de selva alta y mediana subperennifolia. La mayor parte de las poblaciones de las dos especies se encuentran en áreas externas a las ANPs.Conclusiones: Tanto para H. campechianum como para H. calakmulense existen muchos vacíos de información y áreas sin explorar. Sería pertinente tenerlos en cuenta en estudios futuros, para ayudar a complementar la información existente y determinar con precisión su estatus de conservación.
