Abstract
Building bridges not walls: the past, present, and future of international collaboration and research in northwest Mexico
Highlights
For the second time the annual meeting of the Western Society of Naturalists (WSN) was held in Mexico, acknowledging the importance of maintaining and augmenting collaboration and communication across regions within the California Current ecosystems regardless of political borders
The most commonly accessible early data from the Northeast Pacific on these marine subjects comes from Spanish conquistadores in the 1700s (Del Barco 1988) and American whalers in the early 1800s (Scammon 1874), who traveled extensively along the coast and published their observations
These early publications in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were mainly descriptive, focusing on taxonomy (Verrill 1869) and species distribution (Jordan and Evermann 1896). These early observations highlighted the differences in fauna between the Gulf of California and the western Pacific coast side of the peninsula, and the similarities in fauna between Baja California and California (Deichmann 1941)
Summary
For the second time the annual meeting of the Western Society of Naturalists (WSN) was held in Mexico, acknowledging the importance of maintaining and augmenting collaboration and communication across regions within the California Current ecosystems regardless of political borders. También discutimos la importancia de continuar las colaboraciones internacionales para mejorar nuestra comprensión y manejo de los ecosistemas marinos del Pacífico Nororiental, así como el papel que juega la WSN en fomentar la investigación internacional transfronteriza.
