The phylogenetic relationships of four monospecific caesalpinioids (Leguminosae) endemic to southern South America
(Wiley, 2012-08)Balsamocarpon, Lophocarpinia, Stenodrepanum and Zuccagnia are monospecific endemic genera from arid or saline areas of southern South America (Argentina, Paraguay, Chile). Several molecular studies have explored relationships ... -
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 ... -

(Springer, 2022-05)The order Piroplasmida, including the genera Babesia, Cytauxzoon, and Theileria is often referred to as piroplasmids and comprises of dixenous hemoprotozoans transmitted by ticks to a mammalian or avian host. Although ... -
The Plant Negative-Sense RNA Virosphere: Virus Discovery Through New Eyes
(Frontiers Media, 2020-09-16)The use of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) for virus diagnostics, as well as the importance of this technology as a valuable tool for discovery of novel viruses has been extensively investigated. In this review, we consider ... -
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 for expanding sustainable biogas production and some possible impacts in specific countries
(Wiley, 2020-11)Las prácticas actuales de producción de alimentos tienden a dañar y agotar el suelo, disminuir la biodiversidad y degradar los suministros de agua. Para que la agricultura sea ambientalmente sostenible y simultáneamente ... -
The potential impact of economic policies on future land-use conversions in Argentina
(2018)Agricultural expansion and intensification drive the conversion of natural areas worldwide. Scenarios are powerful tools to explore possible future changes in agricultural land use, how these may affect the environment, ... -
The potential of Biogas in Energy Transition in Indonesia
(IOP Publishing, 2021-11)Indonesia is an agrarian country that has a rich bioenergy potency in liquid (biodiesel, bioethanol). The Government of Indonesia (GoI) has set the target to achieve 23% of renewable energy utilization into the national ... -
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 prevalence of Coxiella burnetii shedding in dairy goats at the time of parturition in an endemically infected enterprise and associated milk yield losses
