Forage provision is more affected by droughts in arid and semi-arid than in mesic rangelands
(Wiley, 2022-06)Droughts are projected to increase in magnitude, frequency and duration in the near future. In rangelands, the provision of valuable ecosystem services such as forage supply for livestock productivity is intimately linked ... -
Forage yield gap analysis for tall fescue pastures in Argentina: A modelling approach
(Wiley, 2020-12-07)A large gap between actual and potential herbage production of tall fescue is a major limitation for livestock production systems in Argentina. The objectives of this work were to (a) calibrate and test the ability of a ... -
Forage yield, water- and solar radiation-productivities of perennial pastures and annual crops sequences in the south-eastern Pampas of Argentina
(Elsevier, 2018-05-15)Livestock production systems of Argentina show an ongoing process of change in the composition of their forage base, with a gradual increase in the proportion of their area assigned to forage crop sequences (FCS) −in ... -
Foraging behavior interactions between two non-native social wasps, Vespula germanica and V. vulgaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) : implications for invasion success?
(2016-01)Vespula vulgaris is an invasive scavenging social wasp that has very recently arrived in Patagonia (Argentina), a territory previously invaded – 35 yrs earlier – by another wasp, Vespula germanica. Although V. vulgaris ... -
Foraging behavior of Argentine Criollo and Angus cows grazing semi-desert rangelands in the Arid Gran Chaco region of Argentina
(Elsevier, 2022-11)We monitored grazing behavior and habitat selection of Argentine Criollo (AC), South American heritage cattle breed, and Angus (AA) cows during summer and winter of 2016 (wetter year) and 2017 (drier year) at a site in La ... -
Foraging Behavior of Heritage versus Desert-Adapted Commercial Rangeland Beef Cows in Relation to Dam-Offspring Contact Patterns
(Elsevier, 2021-01)We compared cow-calf contacts, as well as movement, activity, and pasture use patterns of heritage Raramuri Criollo (RC) and desert-adapted commercial Angus Hereford crossbred (AH) beef cattle grazing Chihuahuan Desert ... -
Foraging niche separation of social wasps in an invaded area: Implications for their management
(Wiley Online Library, 2019-10)Foraging niche separation may be a mechanism to promote coexistence of two competing species by concentrating intraspecific competition relative to interspecific competition. The present study investigated foraging behaviour ... -
Foreign invasive pests Drosophila suzukii (Matsamura) and Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) threaten fruit production in northwestern Argentina
(University of Oklahoma, 2018-05)The sub-tropical region of northwestern Argentina (Tucuman province) shelters a major soft fruit production and exporting industry. Drosophila suzukii (spotted-wing Drosophila; SWD) is a major global pest of soft fruits ... -
Foreign meat identification by DNA breed assignment for the Chinese market
(Elsevier, 2014-12)Methods for individual identification are usually employed for traceability, whereas breed identification is useful to detect commercial frauds. In this study, Chinese Yellow Cattle (CYC) samples plus data from six Bos ... -
Forest active restoration for silvopastoral use in Northwestern Patagonia: relative importance of the nurse effect
(Springer, 2023-03)Ecological interactions, such as facilitation among plant species, has been identified as key for restoration actions. The stress-gradient hypothesis predicts that facilitation increases under harsh environments, but ... -
Forest browning trends in response to drought in a highly threatened mediterranean landscape of South America
(Elsevier, 2020-08)Deforestation is widely studied throughout the world. However, a less evident issue is the effect of climate change and drought on remnants of native forests. The objective of this work was to understand the geographic ... -
Forest carbon management strategies influence storage compartmentalization in Nothofagus antarctica forest landscapes
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2023-10)Silvopastoral systems are one of the strategies proposed to manage natural forests in southern Patagonia for livestock and timber purposes. In the context of climate change, it is necessary to design new management proposals ... -
Forest fires and economic incentives: impact of forest protection laws in Argentina
(International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE), 2018-07)This paper evaluates the potential impact of the recently enacted forest protection laws on the number of forest fires in Argentina. The forest protection laws (at a federal and provincial level) restricts the use of ... -
Forest Health in the Southern Cone of America: State of the Art and Perspectives on Regional Efforts
(MDPI, 2023-04)The plantation and natural forests of South America have been highly impacted by native and exotic pests in recent decades. The interaction of emerging invasive pests, climate change, and timber markets will define the ... -
Forest strips increase connectivity and modify forests functioning in a deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-04-28)Land use changes are occurring with unprecedented magnitude and intensity, imposing global impacts on ecosystem services (ES) and biodiversity. While the impacts of land use changes are increasingly recognized, understanding ... -
