Anuran responses to spatial patterns of agricultural landscapes in Argentina
(2016-12)Context: Amphibians are declining worldwide and land use change to agriculture is recognized as a leading cause. Argentina is undergoing an agriculturalization process with rapid changes in landscape structure. Objectives: ... -
Chromosome studies in southern species of Mimosa (Fabaceae, Mimosoideae) and their taxonomic and evolutionary inferences
(2014-05)In this work, chromosome numbers and karyotype parameters of 36 taxa of the genus Mimosa were studied, especially from the southern South America center of diversification. Results support that x = 13 is the basic chromosome ... -
The potential impact of economic policies on future land-use conversions in Argentina
(2018)Agricultural expansion and intensification drive the conversion of natural areas worldwide. Scenarios are powerful tools to explore possible future changes in agricultural land use, how these may affect the environment, ... -
Future Land-Use Changes and the Potential for Novelty in Ecosystems of the United States
(2015-12)Rapid global changes due to changing land use, climate, and non-native species are altering environmental conditions, resulting in more novel communities with unprecedented species combinations. Understanding how future ... -
A novel individual-tree mixed model to account for competition and environmental heterogeneity: a Bayesian approach
(Springer, 2015-12)Negative correlation caused by competition among individuals and positive spatial correlation due to environmental heterogeneity may lead to biases in estimating genetic parameters and predicting breeding values (BVs) from ... -
Carotenoids gene markers for sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam): applications in genetic mapping, diversity evaluation and cross‑species transference
(Springer, 2014-04)Carotenoids play essential biological roles in plants, and genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway are evolutionarily conserved. Orange sweetpotato is an important source of β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin ... -
Regulation of Zn and Fe transporters by the GPC1gene during early wheat monocarpic senescence
(2014-12)Background; During wheat senescence, leaf components are degraded in a coordinated manner, releasing amino acids and micronutrients which are subsequently transported to the developing grain. We have previously shown that ... -
The role of soybean production as an underlying driver of deforestation in the South American Chaco
(2017-07)South America’s tropical dry forests and savannas are under increasing pressure from agricultural expansion. Cattle ranching and soybean production both drive these forest losses, but their relative importance remains ... -
Nanostructured voltammetric sensor for ultra-trace anabolic drug determination in food safety field
(2013-11)A sensitive electrochemical sensor for clenbuterol (CL) determination in bovine urine samples was designed. This drug was originally developed for the treatment of respiratory pathologies. However, in the livestock industry, ... -
Fire Regime, Climate, and Vegetation in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina
(2015)Wildfires are a primary disturbance in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina, with approximately 2 152 000 ha burned between 1993 and 2012. However, little is known about the spatial and temporal patterns of fires and their ... -
Assessing wildfire exposure in the Wildland-Urban Interface area of the mountains of central Argentina
(2017-07-01)Wildfires are a major threat to people and property in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) communities worldwide, but while the patterns of the WUI in North America, Europe and Oceania have been studied before, this is not the ... -
Deforestation and cattle expansion in the Paraguayan Chaco 1987–2012
(2017-04)The dry forests of Latin America are among the most dynamic deforestation frontiers in the world and are important carbon and biodiversity reservoirs. Our knowledge on the spatial patterns of deforestation and its proximate ... -
Trends in reference evapotranspiration and associated climate variables over the last 30 years (1984–2014) in the Pampa region of Argentina
(2018-07-21)Agricultural production is sensitive to weather and thus directly affected by climate change. In Argentina, the geographic region known as the “Pampa” is at the heart of agricultural production. In this context, the objective ... -
Genetic variability of Araucaria angustifolia in the Argentinean Parana Forest and implications for management and conservation
(2018-08)The main forces shaping genetic variability of woody species in fragmented forest are the geographical distribution and demographic history of populations. We conducted molecular analyses to evaluate how these factors have ... -
Changes in bird assemblages in a wetland ecosystem after 14 years of intensified cattle farming
(2018-05)Human activities have modified wetlands all over the word. Water control structures that are frequently implemented in these ecosystems to keep lands free of flooding can decrease or degrade habitat for biodiversity. The ... -
Small mammal responses to farming practices in central Argentinian agroecosystems: the use of hierarchical occupancy models
(Ecological Society of Australia, 2018-08)Organic farming is more environmentally friendly than conventional agriculture, promoting greater levels of habitat heterogeneity. Field borders could be more suitable for biodiversity in agricultural anthromes. Small ... -
Characterization of glandular trichomes of Minthostachys verticillata “peperina” from northwest and central Argentina: relation with essential oil content
(2016)Minthostachys verticillata is an endemic species in Argentina that shows higher contents of essential oils (EO %, v/w) in plants from the central area than in those from the northwest. Although the reason for this difference ... -
Accumulation of current-use pesticides, cholinesterase inhibition and reduced body condition in juvenile one-sided livebearer fish (Jenynsia multidentata) from the agricultural Pampa region of Argentina
(2017-10)The aim of this study was to characterize the level and nature of the pesticide contamination received by one-sided livebearer fish (Jenynsia multidentata) from a watercourse situated within the main agricultural region ... -
Mapping extinction debt highlights conservation opportunities for birds and mammals in the south American Chaco
(2018-02)Habitat loss is the primary cause of local extinctions. Yet, there is considerable uncertainty regarding how fast species respond to habitat loss, and how time‐delayed responses vary in space. We focused on the Argentine ...
