Behavioral and physiological changes in the passerine Agelaioides badius following the ingestion of coated seeds with imidacloprid in a 30-day experiment
(Elsevier, 2023-12)The wide use of neonicotinoid seed treatment represents a hazard for farmland birds that feed on treated seeds. This study aimed to characterize the long-term effects of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid (IMI) in the passerine ... -
Behavioral and physiological response of the passerine bird agelaioides badius to seeds coated with imidacloprid.
(Springer, 2023-09-01)Neonicotinoids are globally used insecticides, and there are increasing evidence on their negative efects on birds. This study is aimed at characterizing the behavioral and physiological efects of the neonicotinoid ... -
Building a Data Set over 12 Globally Distributed Sites to Support the Development of Agriculture Monitoring Applications with Sentinel-2
(MDPI, 2015-12)Developing better agricultural monitoring capabilities based on Earth Observation data is critical for strengthening food production information and market transparency. The Sentinel-2 mission has the optimal capacity for ... -
Carbon emissions from agricultural expansion and intensification in the Chaco
(Wiley, 2017-05)Carbon emissions from land‐use changes in tropical dry forest systems are poorly understood, although they are likely globally significant. The South American Chaco has recently emerged as a hot spot of agricultural expansion ... -
Climate change adaptation and the agricultural sector in South American countries: Risk, vulnerabilities and opportunities
(Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2021-11-05)South America covers a vast area with diverse climates and landscapes, with high participation in the global production of food and fibers. It is crucial to understand the risks, vulnerabilities, and opportunities that ... -
Combined effects of agrochemical contamination and forest loss on anuran diversity in agroecosystems of east-central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Agricultural expansion and intensification has led globally to a rapid landscape structure change and high agrochemical use resulting in habitat loss and degraded environmental quality. Co-occurrence of landscape change ... -
Concentration of current-use pesticides in frogs from the Pampa region and correlation of a mixture toxicity index with biological effects
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Contamination with current-use pesticides is frequently mentioned as a key factor in global amphibian declines although a limited number of studies have examined the mixture of pesticides accumulated by free-living frogs. ... -
Cropland Net Ecosystem Exchange Estimation for the Inland Pampas (Argentina) Using EVI, Land Cover Maps, and Eddy Covariance Fluxes
(Frontiers Media, 2022-06-23)Estimations of Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) are crucial to assess the carbon sequestration/carbon source capacity of agricultural systems. Although several global models have been built to describe carbon flux patterns ... -
Diversity and structure of bird and mammal communities in the Semiarid Chaco Region: response to agricultural practices and landscape alterations
(Imperial College London, Gran Bretaña, 2015-03)The conversion of land from natural environments to human-managed areas has been particularly pronounced in the semiarid Chaco Region. In this context, it is critical to understand the impacts that these major changes have ... -
Drivers of agricultural land - use change in the Argentine Pampas and Chaco regions
(2018-02)Agricultural expansion and intensification in South America's dry forests and grasslands increase agricultural production, but also result in major environmental trade-offs. The Pampas and Chaco regions of Argentina have ... -
Effects of the neonicotinoid insecticides Thiamethoxam and imidacloprid on metamorphosis of the toad rhinella arenarum at environmentally-relevant concentrations
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-05-22)The present study examined the acute and chronic toxicity of the neonicotinoid insecticides imidacloprid (IMI) and thiamethoxam (TIA) on the neotropical amphibian species Rhinella arenarum, Rhinella fernandezae and Scinax ... -
Fading opportunities for mitigating agriculture-environment trade-offs in a south American deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Strong trade-offs between agriculture and the environment occur in deforestation frontiers, particularly in the world's rapidly disappearing tropical and subtropical dry forests. Pathways to mitigate these trade-offs are ... -
Imidacloprid seed coating poses a risk of acute toxicity to small farmland birds: A weight-of-evidence analysis using data from the grayish baywing Agelaioides badius
(Elsevier, 2020-10)The aim of this study was to estimate the risk posed by imidacloprid (IMI) seed coating to passerine birds of the Pampa Region of Argentina using data specifically generated with the grayish baywing (Agelaioides badius). ... -
Impacts of agricultural intensification on farmland birds and risk assessment of pesticide seed treatments
