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 ... -
Correlation Analysis Among the Chemical Composition and Cytotoxic and Antioxidative Activities of a Tessaria absinthioides Decoction for Endorsing Its Potential Application in Oncology
(MDPI, 2024-11)Historically, botanical preparations have been used to improve human health. Their active ingredients are influenced by multiple factors such as intraspecies variations, environmental conditions, collection time and methods, ... -
Quantitative Proteomics Analysis of ABA- and GA3-Treated Malbec Berries Reveals Insights into H2O2 Scavenging and Anthocyanin Dynamics
(MDPI, 2024-09)Abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) are regulators of fruit color and sugar levels, and the application of these hormones is a common practice in commercial vineyards dedicated to the production of table grapes. ... -
Leaf Biochemical and Kernel Metabolite Profiles as Potential Biomarkers of Water Deficit in Walnut (Juglans regia L.) cv. Chandler
(MDPI, 2023-09)Walnut cultivation is expanding into regions where water availability for irrigation is lower than crop evapotranspiration. However, information regarding the responses and adaptations of walnut trees to water deficit ... -
Morphological and Pigment Responses to Far-Red and Photosynthetically Active Radiation in an Olive Cultivar Suitable for Super-High-Density Orchards
(MDPI, 2024-07)Plant density is increasing in modern olive orchards to improve yields and facilitate mechanical harvesting. However, greater density can reduce light quantity and modify its quality. The objective was to evaluate plant ... -
Proximity to corridors benefits bird communities in vegetated interrow vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2024-04)Management under ecological schemes and increasing habitat heterogeneity, are essential for enhancing biodiversity in vineyards. Birds provide several contributions to agriculture, for example pest control, recreation and ... -
Heritability of floral traits in Allium cepa L. populations from biparental crosses
(Wiley, 2024-02)Onions (Allium cepa L.) are one of the main vegetable crops worldwide. As an allogamous species with entomophilous pollination, floral traits play a critical role in seed production. Improving seed yield, especially for ... -
