Do populations of Festuca pallescens from a rainfall gradient differ in the expression of morpho-physiological traits under drought stress?
(Elsevier, 2023-06)In arid environments, stochastic rainfall and high evapotranspiration force plants to optimize water resources. North Patagonia is characterized by a deep rainfall gradient that gives rise to environments with very contrasting ... -
Do Texas Angora bucks improve mohair weight and quality traits of Tajik Angora goats?
(2016)Productores de angora en Tajikistán del Norte levantan alrededor de 200,000 cabras De angora y productos alrededor de 300 toneladas de mohair. ¿Hay aproximadamente 500 productores pequeños, medios y más grandes con 100-500 ... -
Does competition management improve the ecophysiological response to water shortage of mixed woodland species of North Patagonia?
(Elsevier, 2023-08)Globally, the increasing forests vulnerability and drought-induced forest mortality events, extended to a larger scale, may have the potential to rapidly alter forest functioning and the provision of ecosystem services. ... -
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 ... -
Drivers of global Scolytinae invasion patterns
(Ecological Society of America, 2020-02)Biological invasions are affected by characteristics of invading species, strength of pathway connectivity among world regions and habitat characteristics of invaded regions. These factors may interact in complex ways to ... -
Drone aggregation behavior in the social wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae): Effect of kinship and density
(Nature Research, 2020-04)Inbreeding can have negative consequences on population viability because of the reduced fitness of the progeny. In general, most species have developed mechanisms to minimize inbreeding such as dispersal and kin avoidance ... -
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 ... -
Droughts drive outbreak dynamics of an invasive forest insect on an exotic host
(Elsevier, 2019-02)Insect outbreaks are among the most important biotic disturbances in forest ecosystems and can exert immense economic and ecological impacts. Understanding the spatio-temporal patterns of eruptive insects can provide ... -
Drying kinetics of frozen oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus)
(Universidad de Puebla, México, 2016-07)The kinetics of drying of frozen oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) was evaluated. Air temperatures of 50 C, 60 C and 70 C, at 2 m/s and 5% relative humidity, were used for drying experiments. In this work, we studied ... -
Drylands becoming drier: evidence from North Patagonia, Argentina
(Springer, 2023-12)In the last decades, Northern Patagonia (Argentina) has shown linear trends to drier conditions in distinct hydrological variables. Therefore, North Patagonia climate changes were studied using streamfow data of Neuquén ... -
Duplex PCR for the diagnosis of Brucella melitensis and its differentiation from the REV-1 vaccine strain
(2016)La brucelosis caprina es una enfermedad infecciosa crónica causada por Brucella melitensis, cuyos principales síntomas son el aborto en mujeres y orquitis en varones. La vacunación por error de cabras embarazadas con la ... -
Dynamics of cavitation in a Douglas-fir tree-ring: transition-wood, the lord of the ring?
(INRA, 2014-11)The objective of this work wa s to investigate the dynamics of embolism formation within a Douglas fir tree ring . Four resistant and four vulnerable 10 year old trees were selected among 50 trees, based on their P 50 . ... -
Ecological and physiological thermal niches to understand distribution of Chagas disease vectors in Latin America
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-03)In order to assess how triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), Chagas disease vectors, are distributed through Latin America, we analysed the relationship between the ecological niche and the limits of the physiological thermal ... -
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae
(Springer, 2011-08)Insect species associated with human goods continue to be accidentally introduced into new locations. A small proportion of these introduced species become invasive, causing a range of impacts in the receiving community. ... -
Ecology and management of invasive Pinaceae around the world : progress and challenges
(2017-06)Many species in the family Pinaceae are invaders. These species are relatively easy to control because of some of their intrinsic characteristics and because they are highly visible and easy to eliminate. Many Pinaceae ... -
Ecology of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio : tackling the challenge of successful pest management
(2012-08)The invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio has become one of the most significant pests of pine forests throughout the northern and southern hemispheres. In Patagonia (southern Argentina), S. noctilio was first detected in the ... -
Economic costs of invasive non-native species in urban areas: an underexplored financial drain
(Elsevier, 2024-03)Urbanization is an important driver of global change associated with a set of environmental modifications that affect the introduction and distribution of invasive non-native species (species with populations transported ... -
Ecophysiological basis of wood formation in ponderosa pine : linking water flux patterns with wood microdensity variables
(2015-06)Climate and stands management have an effect on the process of wood formation via resource availability. To improve knowledge of wood quantity and physical structure, increment cores of ponderosa pine were taken in high- ... -
Ecosystem services and disservices associated with pastoral systems from Patagonia, Argentina –A review
(EDP Sciences, 2021-11-11)Pastoral systems worldwide secure rural livelihoods in the harshest environments on Earth. Their low productivity per area unit or head makes them the subject of much criticism with regard to their environmental impact, ... -
