The number of tree species on Earth
(National Academy of Sciences, 2022-02-08)One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth. However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, ... -
The origins of global invasions of the German wasp (Vespula germanica) and its infection with four honey bee viruses
(Springer, 2018-12)A successful control or eradication programme using biological control or genetically-mediated methods requires knowledge of the origin and the extent of wasp genetic diversity. Mitochondrial DNA variation in the native ... -
The peach volatilome modularity is reflected at the genetic and environmental response levels in a QTL mapping population
(2014-05-19)Background: The improvement of fruit aroma is currently one of the most sought-after objectives in peach breeding programs. To better characterize and assess the genetic potential for increasing aroma quality by breeding, ... -
The performance of N(1,1-dimethylpropynyl-3,5-dichlorobenzamide) and other herbicides in controlling weeds in lettuce as affected by soil type and weather conditions
(Oregon State University, 1970)Chemicals are being sought that can control weeds in lettuce under different environmental conditions, soil types and weed populations. The extensive or repeated use of a herbicide may lead to important changes in the weed ... -
The phenomenon of cavitation in grapevine… Unravelling implicated mechanisms = El fenómeno de la cavitación en vid… Descifrando los mecanismos implicados
(Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2018)Cavitation is a physiological dysfunction that takes place in the xylem of water stressed plants. It leads to a loss of hydraulic conductance (kL)as the vessels are filled with air. This impacts water supply, water potential ... -
The phylogenetic structure of plant–pollinator networks increases with habitat size and isolation
(Wiley, 2016-01)Similarity among species in traits related to ecological interactions is frequently associated with common ancestry. Thus, closely related species usually interact with ecologically similar partners, which can be reinforced ... -
The physiology and genetics behind fruiting efficiency, a promising spike trait to improve wheat yield potential
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03)The fruiting efficiency (FE, grains per g of spike dry weight at anthesis) was proposed as a promising spike trait to improve wheat yield potential, based on its functional relationship with grain number determination (the ... -
The Population Dynamics and Parasitism Rates of Ceratitis capitata, Anastrepha fraterculus, and Drosophila suzukii in Non-Crop Hosts: Implications for the Management of Pest Fruit Flies
(MDPI, 2024-01)Understanding the seasonal dynamics inherent to non-crop host–fruit fly–parasitoid interactions is vitally important for implementing eco-friendly pest control strategies. This study assessed the abundance and seasonal ... -
The positive effect of plant diversity on soil carbon depends on climate
(Springer Nature, 2023-10-19)Little is currently known about how climate modulates the relationship between plant diversity and soil organic carbon and the mechanisms involved. Yet, this knowledge is of crucial importance in times of climate change ... -
The potential of glomalin-related soil proteins as a sensitive indicator of changes in different cropping systems in the Argentine Pampas
(Springer, 2023-03)The glomalin-related soil proteins (GRSPs) are currently used to describe different fractions of the protein, which are linked to the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal activity and include the easily or total GRSP (named EE ... -
The potential of the hoverfly Allograpta exotica as a biological control agent of the strawberry aphid Chaetosiphon fragaefolii
(Wiley, 2023-12)Syrphid larvae are effective biological control agents in numerous crops due to their voracity, and they are used in both augmentative and conservation-based strategies within horticultural systems. This study conducted ... -
The Reduction of Methane Production in the In Vitro Ruminal Fermentation of Different Substrates is Linked with the Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil
(MDPI, 2020-05-01)There is interest in identifying natural products capable of manipulating rumen microbial activity to develop new feed additives for ruminant nutrition as a strategy to reduce methane. Two trials were performed using the ... -
The relative importance of soil properties and regional climate as drivers of productivity in southern Patagonia’s Nothofagus antarctica forests
(2018-06)Soil texture and temperature-related variables were the variables that most contributed to Nothofagus antarctica forest height in southern Patagonia. This information may be useful for improving forest management, for ... -
The resurgence of the South American locust (Schistocerca cancellata)
(The Orthopteristis Society, 2017-09)The South American locust (Schistocerca cancellata Serville, 1838) was the most destructive agricultural pest in late 1800’s to early to mid 1900’s Argentina. However, since the 1950s its numbers decreased considerably ... -
The Role of Diversity in Mediating Microbiota Structural and Functional Differences in Two Sympatric Species of Abalone Under Stressed Withering Syndrome Conditions
(Springer, 2022-01)Withering syndrome (WS) is a gastro-intestinal (GI) infectious disease likely affecting all abalone species worldwide. Structural and functional changes in abalone GI microbiotas under WS-stressed conditions remain poorly ... -
The role of facultatively nectarivorous birds as pollinators of Anarthrophyllum desideratum in the Patagonian steppe: a geographical approach
(2017-12)The endemic shrub Anarthrophyllum desideratum appears to be the only ornithophilous plant offering nectar as reward in the extensive Patagonian steppe. The identity of its floral visitor assemblage and to what extent this ... -
The role of genetic variability of the host on the resistance to Neospora caninum infection in cattle
(Wiley, 2024-06)Neospora caninum is one of the most frequently diagnosed abortifacient pathogens in cattle. There is abundant genomic information about the parasite itself, but very little is known about the genetic variability of resistance ... -
The role of homofermentative and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria for alfalfa silage: a meta-analysis
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-03)Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are usually employed as alfalfa silage inoculants to obtain high-quality feed for animal husbandry. However, the effects of these inoculants are still unclear and need to be studied extensively. ... -
