About the author
Born in Mexico City on February 26, 1935, José Ticul Álvarez Solórzano — often cited as Ticul Álvarez — became a leading Mexican vertebrate zoologist. An obituary published in the Journal of Mammalogy notes that he showed an early talent for drawing and natural science, and that he later built a career studying Mexico’s fauna in depth.
Álvarez is associated especially with mammalogy and taxonomy. Catalog records and book listings show that he authored or coauthored numerous scientific works, including studies of mice, bats, and other vertebrates from Mexico. His writing was research-focused rather than literary, but it made him an important author within zoology and biodiversity studies.
He died in Mexico City on October 16, 2001. Available sources emphasize both his published scholarship and his role in Mexican natural history, but I could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages I checked, so none is included here.
