A leap in scale for invasive species management: a medium-scale beaver eradication pilot project
(Wiley, 2024-12)In 1946, 20 beavers (Castor canadensis) were introduced in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, and over the last 70 years, the population has expanded, severely affecting riparian environments. In 2008, Argentina and Chile agreed ... -
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 ... -
Assessing potential viral transmission between honeybees and hive-infesting ants using novel per-hive co-detection indices
(Springer Nature, 2025-06)Understanding which ant species interacting with honeybees can transmit or acquire viruses is crucial for managing honeybee health. Our objective was to develop a new methodology using two indices, based on a per-hive ... -
Avispas sociales invasoras en la Patagonia Argentina
(Universidad Nacional del Comahue, 2018-02)Las invasiones biológicas son uno de los problemas ambientales más serios de la actualidad. Sólo una fracción pequeña de las especies que arriban a nuevos sitios logra establecerse exitosamente provocando impactos ... -
Claves atrayentes de la avispa invasora Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2023-07)En un contexto de creciente globalización, las invasiones biológicas y el número de plagas han aumentado notablemente. La avispa de los pinos, Sirex noctilio, es una importante plaga forestal endémica de Eurasia que, durante ... -
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 ... -
Control mecánico de gramíneas perennes. Experiencias en el Este Santiagueño
(EEA Quimilí, INTA, 2022)En la región del NEA argentino, el avance de gramíneas perennes en los sistemas productivos es un problema significativo. El manejo de esta comunidad de malezas es fundamental para el logro de los cultivos de renta ya que ... -
Dataset-Sirex host preference and adult offspring performance
(Estación Experimental Agropecuaria Bariloche, INTA, 2024)Se incluyen los datos de un experimento de campo en el que manipulamos la calidad del árbol hospedante (factor independiente de la densidad) en sitios con diferentes densidades iniciales de avispas de la madera Sirex ... -
Density-dependent and density-independent effects on outbreak dynamics in an invasive forest insect
(Springer, 2026-01)Several bark and wood-boring insects exhibit eruptive population dynamics during which declining host vigor triggers rapid insect population growth and widespread tree mortality. The invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio F. ... -
Desarrollo regional de la técnica del insecto estéril para manejo de la mosca de alas manchadas (Drosophila suzukii)
(EEA Bariloche, INTA, 2025-07)La protección vegetal requiere reducir el uso de insecticidas, en respuesta a la demanda de consumidores y productores. En una experiencia interdisciplinaria entre distintas entidades del Estado, se avanzó en el manejo ... -
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 ... -
