In memoriam
Dr. Miguel Ángel Armella Villalpando (1958–2025) had an early interest in animal behavior. His initial training was as a Biologist specialized in plant population ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
He earned his Doctorate at the University of Arkansas, focusing on basic issues of animal behavior. Upon returning to Mexico, he developed research lines on the behavioral ecology of endangered carnivores, especially the Mexican wolf.
Simultaneously, he worked on sustainable production projects for edible cacti, particularly the pitaya, in collaboration with Dr. María de Lourdes Yáñez L.
