UNAM has had researchers in the area since the first trips into the reserve, like brothers Javier and Roberto de la Maza, who studied butterflies. Rodrigo Medellín conducted one of the longest studies in the region on bats and small mammals. Alfredo Cuarón has studied monkeys and other fauna; Miguel Martínez conducted studies on population ecology and communities of tropical flora in the region. Rodolfo Dirzo's research focused on the plant-animal interaction and tropical ecology (Mendoza y Dirzo 1999; Medellín y Gaona 1999; Martínez-Ramos et al. 2001).
