Behavioral and physiological changes in the passerine Agelaioides badius following the ingestion of coated seeds with imidacloprid in a 30-day experiment
(Elsevier, 2023-12)The wide use of neonicotinoid seed treatment represents a hazard for farmland birds that feed on treated seeds. This study aimed to characterize the long-term effects of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid (IMI) in the passerine ... -
Changes in bird assemblages in a wetland ecosystem after 14 years of intensified cattle farming
(2018-05)Human activities have modified wetlands all over the word. Water control structures that are frequently implemented in these ecosystems to keep lands free of flooding can decrease or degrade habitat for biodiversity. The ... -
Glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum) invasion decreases Chaco Serrano forest bird diversity but favors its seed dispersers
(Springer, 2020-11)Glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum) is an aggressive invasive plant that replaces native forests and forms dense stands without understory in central Argentina. However, the consequences of these changes in terms of vegetation ... -
Imidacloprid seed coating poses a risk of acute toxicity to small farmland birds: A weight-of-evidence analysis using data from the grayish baywing Agelaioides badius
(Elsevier, 2020-10)The aim of this study was to estimate the risk posed by imidacloprid (IMI) seed coating to passerine birds of the Pampa Region of Argentina using data specifically generated with the grayish baywing (Agelaioides badius). ... -
Land use changes and bird diversity in subtropical forests: urban development as the underlying factor
(Springer, 2022-12-15)The Serrano Chaco forest is the least extended Gran Chaco forest type with a long his tory of human disturbances, such as ranching, urbanization, fires, an exotic tree species expansion, which have altered natural vegetation ... -
Mapping extinction debt highlights conservation opportunities for birds and mammals in the south American Chaco
(2018-02)Habitat loss is the primary cause of local extinctions. Yet, there is considerable uncertainty regarding how fast species respond to habitat loss, and how time‐delayed responses vary in space. We focused on the Argentine ... -
Tissue distribution and sublethal effects of imidacloprid in the South American grayish baywing (Agelaioides badius)
(Elsevier, 2021-12)The neonicotinoids are globally used insecticides, which have been shown to cause negative impacts on birds. The current study aimed to evaluate the distribution of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid (IMI) in the tissues of a ... -
Wetland Bird Response to Habitat Composition and Configuration at Multiple Spatial Scales
(Springer, 2020-09-23)Wetlands loss has major consequences for biodiversity. The Delta of Paraná River is one of the largest wetland ecosystems in South America undergoing rapid conversion of freshwater marshes to pastures. We evaluated the ...
