Population genetic structure and historical dispersal patterns in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys “chasiquensis” from the southeastern Pampas region, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2016-05)Gene flow plays an essential role in the evolutionary history of the organisms and helps to identify those historical landscape features that most likely had affected the dispersal patterns. In this work, we assess, using ... -
Predicting the distribution of plant species from southern South America: are the hotspots of genetic diversity threatened by climate change?
(Springer, 2024-01)Biodiversity in all its dimensions is being threatened by climate change and the impact of human activities. Genetic diversity is a key dimension of biodiversity underlying adaptation to global changes. Here we assess the ... -
Ring density record of phenotypic plasticity and adaptation to drought in Douglas-fir
(Elsevier, 2009-08)Microdensity profiles of Douglas-fir’s clones and weather data were used to study phenotypic plasticity (dendroplasticity). Within-ring microdensity was interpreted as the variation of tree response to drought constraints ... -
Should tree invasions be used in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change?
(The Ecological Society of America, 2021)Intentionally allowing or promoting invasion by non-native trees into areas characterized by treeless vegetation could contribute to climate-change mitigation by increasing carbon (C) sequestration. In some areas of the ... -
Stand density and drought interaction on water relations of Nothofagus antarctica : contribution of forest management to climate change adaptability
(2011-12)Nothofagus antarctica is the most representative species of the native mixed forest occupying ecotone areas between forests and steppe in NW Patagonia, South-America. In this type of environment, vulnerability to climate ... -
Strains in Sustainability Debates: Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western Science through the Lens of Extension Agents in a Pastoral Region
(Wiley Online Library, 2020-03)Those involved in sustainability debates on developmental pathways concur in the synergistic potential of integrating traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and Western scientific approaches. Transhumant pastoralism is a ... -
Surface indicators are correlated with soil multifunctionality in global drylands
(Wiley, 2020-02)1. Multiple ecosystem functions need to be considered simultaneously to manage and protect the several ecosystem services that are essential to people and their environments. Despite this, cost effective, tangible, relatively ... -
Temperature and day length drive local adaptation in the Patagonian foundation tree species Nothofagus pumilio
(BioRxiv, 2023-04-29)Climate change alters relationships among environmental conditions and thus has the potential to change the selection pressures acting on adaptive gene variants. Using a landscape genomic approach, we show that the southern ... -
Temperature and host plant species affect the performance and immunocompetence of an outbreak defoliator in northwestern Patagonia
(Royal Entomological Society, 2022-03)1. Rising temperature has been associated with increased occurrence of herbivorous insect outbreaks, explained by several direct and indirect mechanisms. Whereas natural enemies are known key drivers of forest-defoliating ... -
The impact of different natural environments on the regeneration dynamics of two Nothofagus species across elevation in the southern Andes
(Elsevier, 2020-05-15)A widely accepted paradigm in forest ecology proposes that patterns of relative abundance among mature forest trees are largely influenced by biotic and abiotic processes that operate most intensely during the earliest ... -
Think globally, measure locally: The MIREN standardized protocol for monitoring plant species distributions along elevation gradients
(Wiley, 2022-02)Climate change and other global change drivers threaten plant diversity in mountains worldwide. A widely documented response to such environmental modifications is for plant species to change their elevational ranges. Range ... -
Tracking floristic archetypes of Patagonian steppes
(Wiley, 2024-03)Questions: The classification of plant communities is a well-established practice in ecology. However, the factors that determine the distribution of common species and the extent of their dominance and overlap are still ... -
Transcriptomic responses to drought stress in the Patagonian southern beech Nothofagus alpina
(Springer Open, 2024-05)Background: Deciphering the genetic architecture of drought tolerance could allow the candidate genes identification responding to water stress. In the Andean Patagonian forest, the genus Nothofagus represents an ecologically ... -
Unintended consequences of planting native and non-native trees in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change
(Wiley, 2024-03)Naturally treeless ecosystems are being replaced by native and non-native trees worldwide, often through deliberate afforestation using forestry tree species. By introducing species having novel traits, such as relatively ... -
Vegetation responses to variations in climate: A combined ordinary differential equation and sequential Monte Carlo estimation approach
(Elsevier, 2023-03)Vegetation responses to variation in climate are a current research priority in the context of accelerated shifts generated by climate change. However, the interactions between environmental and biological factors still ... -
What is hot in tree rings? The wood density of surviving Douglas-firs to the 2003 drought and heat wave
(Elsevier, 2008-08)In a global warming scenario, drought and heat waves like the one that occurred in 2003 in Europe are expected to become more intense and frequent. This extreme climate event strongly affected the hydraulic balance in many ... -
Worldwide diversity of endophytic fungi and insects associated with dormant tree twigs
(Springer, 2022-03)International trade in plants and climate change are two of the main factors causing damaging tree pests (i.e. fungi and insects) to spread into new areas. To mitigate these risks, a large-scale assessment of tree-associated ...
