El animal humano es el unico animal responsable de otras especies debido a la domesticacion a la que los sometio para uso personal. La tenencia de animales de compania puede conferir beneficios al propietario. Sin embargo las actitudes irresponsables dan facilmente lugar a problemas de salud y ambiente. En Mexico desde 1833 se establecieron lugares especificos para la eliminacion y confinacion de los perros vagabundos. Desde entonces las acciones que se han venido tomando para la regulacion de la poblacion canina vista desde una perspectiva que contribuye al deterioro o afeccion de la salud publica, en Mexico y a nivel mundial son muy similares y ninguna de estas ha arrojado resultados notables en su disminucion. La presente investigacion surge a partir de necesidades sociales y de salud ambiental, proporcionando campos especificos de trabajo para atenderlas. Se busca analizar las representacion social sobre los perros que tiene la poblacion de la cabecera municipal de Tala, Jalisco, a fin de identificar elementos para proponer y desarrollar programas de prevencion e intervencion respecto al bienestar de los animales y la sobrepoblacion canina, que favorezcan la Salud Ambiental."

En este libro se presentan dos diferentes aproximaciones (al nivel de los ensambles de especies y realizando estudios con una especie modelo: Canthon cyanellus cyanellus) para evaluar los efectos relativos que la estructura y composicion de un paisaje de bosque tropical seco bajo manejo ganadero, tienen sobre los patrones de diversidad, ocupacion y movilidad de escarabajos del estiercol (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) en el sur de Chiapas, Mexico. La aparicion de nuevas condiciones de habitat, resultantes del manejo ganadero, aumenta el reemplazo de especies de escarabajos y parece derivar en una alta diversidad gamma en el paisaje, incrementando el area de distribucion de especies antes perifericas y permitiendo la colonizacion de las areas. La conectividad funcional de las poblaciones de C. c. cyanellus entre los diferentes fragmentos de bosque tropical seco es facilitada principalmente por los cercos vivos. El mantenimiento de las practicas tradicionales de manejo y los niveles de heterogeneidad asociados, benefician la ocupacion y persistencia de un importante numero de especies y pueden representar habitats importantes para la recolonizacion de otras."
