Observations on the efficiency of using different cashmere combs
(2013-09)The effect of using small or large cashmere combs on cashmere harvest, cashmere quality and combing time was studied on Raeini cashmere goats in nomadic goat breeding systems of the Iranian province of Kerman. Two groups ... -
Of volcanoes and insects: the impact of the Puyehue–Cordon Caulle ash fall on populations of invasive social wasps, Vespula spp.
(2013-03)Las erupciones volcánicas tienen importantes efectos en los ecosistemas terrestres. Los efectos bióticos de ceniza volcánica en las poblaciones de insectos varian de un generalizado y catastróficoa lo sutil y localizada. ... -
Olfactory attraction of the larval parasitoid, Hyposoter horticola, to plants infested with eggs of the host butterfly, Melitaea cinxia
(Entomological Society of America, 2010-01)Parasitoids locate inconspicuous hosts in a heterogeneous habitat using plant volatiles, some of which are induced by the hosts. Hyposoter horticola Gravenhost (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is a parasitoid of the Glanville ... -
Operationalising ecosystem service assessment in Bayesian Belief Netwoks: Experiences within the OpenNESS project
(2018)Nine Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) were developed within the OpenNESS project specifically for modelling ecosystem services for case study applications. The novelty of the method, its ability to explore problems, to ... -
Optimal automatic enhanced ERA5 daily precipitation data for environmental and agricultural monitoring tools in scarce data regions
(Springer, 2023-11-10)The development of monitoring and early warning tools for environmental and agricultural applications is highly restricted in scarce climate data regions. In particular, precipitation data is a key input for several ... -
Optimizing breeding structures and related management in community-based goat breeding programs in the Borana pastoral system of Ethiopia
(Elsevier, 2022)The study simulated different potential breeding programs to design the optimal breeding structure and operational management structure for Borana goat. It evaluated different scenarios using ZPLAN+ software to maximize ... -
Oviposition substrate location by the invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio: the combined effect of chemical cues emitted by its obligate symbiont Amylostereum areolatum and different host-tree species
(Wiley, 2023-06)BACKGROUND: Sirex noctilio is an invasive forest wasp that affects pines and can result in severe economic losses. The use of semiochemicals offers an opportunity to develop sensitive and specific capturing systems to ... -
Particulate organic carbon is a sensitive indicator of soil degradation related to overgrazing in Patagonian wet and mesic meadows
(Springer, 2018-06)Patagonian meadows are key for the development and sustainability of rural environments. However, they have been degraded due to a combination of weather conditions and overgrazing. Total soil organic carbon (TOC) has been ... -
Patagonian ñire (Nothofagus antarctica) combined with green tea - Novel beverage enriched in bioactive phytochemicals as health promoters
(Wiley, 2022-09)Background: Polyphenol-enriched tea is an interesting product for food industries under the current consumer demands. This study aimed at evaluating the Nothofagus antarctica (NA) species as a valuable source of bioactive ... -
Patch choice from a distance and use of habitat information during foraging by the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides
(2012-06)1. In environments in which resources are distributed heterogeneously, patch choice and the length of time spent on a patch by foragers are subject to strong selective pressures. This is particularly true for parasitoids ... -
Patch exploitation behaviour by a parasitoid of a forest pest: The influence of host cues and intra- and interspecific interactions
(Wiley, 2024-03)For parasitoids, host foraging is the most significant activity for their reproductive success, as it directly translates into offspring production. Therefore, foraging behaviour and patch-use decisions by parasitoids still ... -
Pattern of natural introgression in a Nothofagus hybrid zone from South American temperate forests
(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2017-03-29)Interspecific gene flow is a common phenomenon in Nothofagaceae species; however, the dynamics of introgression in hybrid zones remains largely unknown. We focused on two ecologically and morphologically different Nothofagus ... -
