(2013-12)La avispa Sirex noctilio es una plaga importante de las plantaciones de pino en todo el mundo. Económicamente daño significativo se limita sin embargo a brote poblaciones. Para entender lo que determina la dinámica de los ... -
Linking ecosystem resistance, resilience, and stability in steppes of North Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2013-01)The main objective of an ecosystem sustainable management is to preserve its capacity to respond and adapt to current disturbances and/or future changes, and maintain the provision of environmental goods and services. Two ... -
Linking reproductive and feeding strategies in the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides: does feeding always imply profit?
(2013-05)Adquisición y asignación de recursos a diferentes funciones biológicas a lo largo de la vida tienen fuertes implicaciones para el éxito reproductivo de los animales. Los animales pueden experimentar diferentes condiciones ... -
Local adaptation along a sharp rainfall gradient occurs in a native Patagonian grass, Festuca pallescens, regardless of extensive gene flow
(Elsevier, 2020-03)Increasing global aridity combined with changing environmental conditions might cause irreparable alterations in arid and semiarid ecosystems. Knowledge of within-species genetic diversity and adaptive responses, especially ... -
Local dynamics of worker activity of the invasive Vespula germanica and V. vulgaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) wasps in Argentina
(2016-02)1. The abundance of insects depends essentially on the reproductive success of individuals. In social insects, however, the abundance of sterile workers outside a nest depends on colony size but is also determined by ... -
Logging by selective extraction of best trees: Does it change patterns of genetic diversity? : The case of Nothofagus pumilio
(2016)Un amplio conocimiento de las consecuencias ecológicas y genéticas de la aplicación de las prácticas de gestión en los ecosistemas naturales es de fundamental importancia para las acciones de conservación. El principal ... -
Long-term coexistence of two invasive vespid wasps in NW Patagonia (Argentina)
(Springer, 2022-07-03)In Patagonia (Argentina) two non-native vespid wasps became established in the last decades. Vespula germanica was first detected in 1980, while V. vulgaris arrived some 30 years later. Both species can have a strong ... -
Long-term grazing negatively affects nitrogen dynamics in Northern Patagonian wet meadows
(Elsevier, 2014-10)Wet meadows are seasonally saturated wetlands that can develop in arid and semi-arid areas. In the semi-arid region of North Patagonia, Argentina wet meadows are islands of high net primary productivity surrounded by low ... -
Longitudinal analysis of household types and livelihood trajectories in Oaxaca, Mexico
(Elsevier, 2021-01)In Mexico, a political shift to fit into neoliberal directives since the 80s has brought several consequences to rural households and their trajectories. This study focused on the relation between drivers of change and ... -
Looking at the forest from below: the role of seedling root traits in the adaptation to climate change of two Nothofagus species in Argentina
(2018-05)Global climate change (CC) is an evolutionary challenge for natural tree populations. Scientific experts forecast an increase in temperature and a decrease in precipitation in the Argentine Patagonian Cordillera. Knowledge ... -
Management of Sirex noctilio populations in exotic pine plantations: critical issues explaining invasion success and damage levels in South America
(Springer Nature, 2018-11)Plantation forestry with non-native trees is steadily increasing in the southern hemisphere and alien pest problems are also accumulating, as a consequence of the growing international movement of people and goods. Here, ... -
Managing nuisance social insects in urban environments : an overview
(2017-04)Urbanization is progressing worldwide where social insects often attain pest status. We present an overview of the practices applied for the management of social insects in urban settings from 1990 to 2016. We found that ... -
Managing Socio‐Ecological Systems to Achieve Sustainability: A Study of Resilience and Robustness
(Wiley, 2013-02)Growing symptoms of the mismanagement of socio‐ecological systems (SESs) show that the long‐term existence of these systems is threatened. SES management improvement is the aim of many policy measures. But how successful ... -
Manejo nutricional pre y post-destete en crias de cabras angora del norte de la patagonia
(Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Nacional de La Pampa, 2021-12)En los hatos de cabras Angora en el norte de la región Patagónica, las crías suelen manifestar deficiencias nutricionales desde el nacimiento hasta el destete a los 90 días que se asocian a bajas tasas de señalada y destete, ... -

(Elsevier, 2021-12)Maqui (Aristotelia chilensis [Mol.] Stuntz) is a native berry of the Patagonia Andean forests, which has one of the highest antioxidant levels currently known. This biochemical characteristic strongly depends on the phenolic ... -
Mate-searching behavior in the invasive German wasp, Vespula germanica, in Patagonia
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-07)In order to increase the probability of reproduction, social insects can adopt various mate‐finding strategies, such as increasing densities of males at specific locations, and/or visual and chemical cues that attract the ... -
