Immobilization and stabilization of volcanic ash in soil aggregates in semiarid meadows of Northern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2021-06-15)Although volcanism may be perceived by the society as a phenomenon with mostly negative consequences, this is not always the case especially for natural systems. There is a limited knowledge on how the deposited pristine ... -
Controversies and Common Ground in Wild and Domestic Fine Fiber Production in Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03)This work analyzes possible obstacles to developing new products or old merchandise using an innovative method. It will look into stakeholders of fine fiber and meat products from three distinctive socioecological systems. ... -
Direct and indirect effects of climate and vegetation on sheep production across Patagonian rangelands (Argentina)
(Elsevier, 2021-05)Extensive sheep production is an important agricultural industry in the Patagonia region of Argentina, where the most important production metric is the effective lambing rate of the sheep (L%). Climate factors can affect ... -
Phenotypic plasticity of European larch radial growth and wood density along a-1,000 m elevational gradient
(Wiley, 2021-02)Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism for sedentary long-living species to adjust to changing environment. Here, we use mature Larix decidua tree-ring variables collected along an elevational transect in the French Alps ... -
Archetypal temporal dynamics of arid and semi-arid rangelands
(Elsevier, 2021-03)The way in which temporal dynamics structure ecological systems under the influence of a changing environment has long interested ecologists. Tackling the hierarchical structure of complex temporal patterns is a necessary ... -
Development of a duplex PCR for the identification of Fasciola hepatica in lymnaeid snails
(Ediciones INTA, 2020-12)Fasciola hepatica is a parasitic trematode that causes fascioliasis, a disease that affects domestic livestock and humans. The complex life cycle of F. hepatica involves lymnaeid snails as intermediate hosts. Detection of ... -
Foot-and-Mouth Disease: Optimization, Reproducibility, and Scalability of High-Yield Production of Virus-Like Particles for a Next-Generation Vaccine
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-09)Inactivated Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccine has proven to be effective in the control of the disease. However, its production has some disadvantages, including the costly biosafety facilities required for the production ... -
Aeolian Remobilisation of Volcanic Ash: Outcomes of a Workshop in the Argentinian Patagonia
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-27)During explosive volcanic eruptions, large quantities of tephra can be dispersed and deposited over wide areas. Following deposition, subsequent aeolian remobilisation of ash can potentially exacerbate primary impacts on ... -
Genetic diversity and population structure in Nothofagus pumilio, a foundation species of Patagonian forests: defining priority conservation areas and management
(Springer Nature, 2020-11)Patagonian forests are the southernmost temperate forests in the world, and Nothofagus pumilio is one of their most ecologically important tree species (i.e., a foundation species). It presents great adaptability and a ... -
Comparing temperature data sources for use in species distribution models: From in‐situ logging to remote sensing
(Wiley, 2019-11)Although species distribution models (SDMs) traditionally link species occurrences to free‐air temperature data at coarse spatio‐temporal resolution, the distribution of organisms might instead be driven by temperatures ... -
Doramectin efficacy against Psoroptes ovis in sheep: Evaluation of pharmacological strategies
(Elsevier, 2020-11)The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of two injectable formulations of doramectin (DRM) against Psoroptes ovis in sheep infested under controlled experimental conditions and to characterize the DRM plasma ... -
Environmental influence on Merino sheep wool quality through the lens of seasonal variations in fibre diameter
(Elsevier, 2020-10)Wool production in arid and semiarid rangelands is strongly affected by environmental variability. Seasonal fluctuations of the environmental conditions drive variations in the nutritional status of the sheep, wool growth ... -
Calidad del Mohair producido en la Patagonia en el último lustro
(Asociación Argentina de Producción Animal, 2019)Con el objetivo de caracterizar la calidad del mohair Argentino se analizaron 285 muestras tomadas en lotes comerciales a lo largo de 5 años, de 6 centros de acopio de las provincias de Neuquén (NQN), Río Negro (RNO) y ... -
Addition of eCG to a 14 d prostaglandin treatment regimen in sheep FTAI programs
(Elsevier, 2020-10)In the present study, there was evaluation of the alternative of adding eCG as part of a longinterval prostaglandin-F2α (PG) treatment on the reproductive efficiency of Merino sheep during the breeding season. A total of ... -

(Springer, 2020-09-20)Sarcocystis spp. are intracellular protozoan parasites with heteroxenous life cycles. This study described Sarcocystis spp. infection in adult South American native deer huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) and pudu (Pudu puda). ... -
A multivariate geostatistical framework for combining multiple indices of abundance for disease vectors and reservoirs: a case study of rattiness in a low-income urban Brazilian community
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2020-09-02)A key requirement in studies of endemic vector-borne or zoonotic disease is an estimate of the spatial variation in vector or reservoir host abundance. For many vector species, multiple indices of abundance are available, ... -
Effects of polydopamine-passivation on the optical properties of carbon dots and its potential use in vivo
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-07)Passivation of carbon dots via heteroatom doping has been shown to enhance their optical properties and tune their fluorescence signature. Additionally, the incorporation of polymeric precursors in carbon dot synthesis has ... -
