(Springer, 2020-02)Several European and Mediterranean species of pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have become established in North America and the southern hemisphere, posing a novel threat to planted and naturally-occurring ... -
A pictorial key to differentiate the recently detected exotic Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann, 1901 (Acari, Ixodidae) from native congeners in North America
(Pensoft Publishers, 2019-01)Until recently, only two haemaphysaline species, Haemaphysalis chordeilis (Packard, 1869) and Haemaphysalis leporispalustris (Packard, 1869), were known to occur in the United States, and neither was considered to be of ... -
Anthropogenic Impacts Allowed for the Invasion of Understory Species, Affecting the Sustainability of Management Practices in Southern Patagonia
(MDPI, 2024-01-16)Forest management aims to preserve integrity and ecosystem resilience. Conservation and species invasion patterns must be determined in managed landscapes. The objectives of this study were to identify proxies that allowed ... -
Araneofauna (Arachnida: Araneae) de suelo en bosques nativos, exóticos y pajonales del Parque General San Martín, Entre Ríos Argentina
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2016-12)La invasión de especies leñosas exóticas en la región argentina del Espinal provoca un cambio en la fisonomía del paisaje ya que altera el ambiente y produce la pérdida de biodiversidad. Se estudió la composición de arañas ... -
Are invasive species promoting yellowjacket invasion in Patagonia?
(Wiley, 2022-06)In recent decades, yellowjacket wasps, including Vespula vulgaris, have successfully been established in Patagonia. Additionally, the invasive willow Salix fragilis has also invaded areas next to watercourses, which in ... -
Coexistence between two fruit fly species is supported by the different strength of intra- and interspecific competition
(2018-04)1. Unravelling the strength and modes of interspecific interactions between resident and introduced species is necessary in order to understand the basis of their coexistence or the displacement of the former by the ... -
Conducta de recolección de alimento en Vespula Germanica: Implicancias para el control de avispas sociales invasoras en la Patagonia
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2019)Durante la búsqueda de alimentos los individuos necesitan resolver si explotar un recurso dado o continuar buscando nuevos sitios de alimentación, que posiblemente sean mejores. Esta decisión se basa principalmente en la ... -
Dominant native and non‐native graminoids differ in key leaf traits irrespective of nutrient availability
(Wiley, 2020-03-12)Nutrient enrichment is associated with plant invasions and biodiversity loss. Functional trait advantages may predict the ascendancy of invasive plants following nutrient enrichment but this is rarely tested. Here, we ... -
Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) distribution modelling improves our understanding of pest range limits
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Spatial distributions models (SDM) are often used in invasive pest management to understand current and potential distribution. Using data on the well-studied spotted wing drosophila as a model, we compared distribution ... -
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae
(Springer, 2011-08)Insect species associated with human goods continue to be accidentally introduced into new locations. A small proportion of these introduced species become invasive, causing a range of impacts in the receiving community. ... -
Estrategia adaptativa de dos especies de lagomorfos introducidos en la Patagonia argentina, con especial referencia a sus hábitos alimentarios
(Departamento de Zoología, Universidad de Sevilla, 2007)El término "especies exóticas invasoras" se refiere a especies (o taxones inferiores) introducidos fuera de su área de distribución normal y poseen potencial de dispersión; además, su presencia y propagación ... -
Experiencias de largo plazo para el manejo de una hierba invasora de pastizales: El caso de Hieracium pilosella L. en la Estepa Fueguina
(2014-08)Las experiencias de largo plazo son poco frecuentes en los estudios sobre manejo de especies invasoras y resultan claves para comprender la efectividad de los controles. En este trabajo, revisitamos un experimento instalado ... -
Factors driving historic intercontinental invasions of European pine bark beetles
(Springer, 2022-06)Largely assisted by global trade, alien insect species are being introduced into new territories at unprecedented rates. Among forest insects, pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) are a large and diverse ... -
Flexible foraging decisions made by workers of the social wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in response to different resources: influence of ontogenetic shifts and colony feedback
(Wiley, 2022-04)Decisions made by foraging animals conform a complex process based on the integration of information from multiple external environmental stimuli and internal physiological signals, which in turn are modulated by individual ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Forest Health in the Southern Cone of America: State of the Art and Perspectives on Regional Efforts
