New precipitation and temperature grids for northern Patagonia: Advances in relation to global climate grids
(Chinese Meteorological Society, 2016-02)Climate data of mean monthly temperature and total monthly precipitation compiled from different sources in northern Patagonia were interpolated to 20-km resolution grids over the period 1997–2010. This northern Patagonian ... -
New world goat populations are a genetically diverse reservoir for future use
(Springer Nature, 2019-02-06)Western hemisphere goats have European, African and Central Asian origins, and some local or rare breeds are reported to be adapted to their environments and economically important. By-in-large these genetic resources have ... -
Nitrate and nitrite absorption, recycling and retention in tissues of sheep
(Elsevier, 2021-07)Dietary nitrate is of increasing interest both for the pharmacological effects of its metabolites as well as its capacity to inhibit methanogenesis in the gut. A sequence of three experiments was conducted to investigate ... -
No evidence of enemy release in pathogen and microbial communities of comnon wasps [Vespula vulgaris] in their native and introduced range
(2015-03-23)When invasive species move to new environments they typically experience population bottlenecks that limit the probability that pathogens and parasites are also moved. The invasive species may thus be released from biotic ... -
Nomadic pastoralism in southern Iran
(2013-12)The nomadic pastoralist system in Baft district in Kerman province is well known in Iran for producing cashmere from Raeini goats. However, there is little information on the production system. Interviews were carried out ... -
Not all toxic butterflies are toxic: high intra- and interspecific variation in sequestration in subtropical swallowtails
(2017-12)Many herbivorous insects make use of plant secondary metabolites by consuming and storing these toxic compounds in their body tissue or integument, thereby obtaining chemical defense against their natural enemies. ... -
Nutrient source, management system and the age of the plantation affect soil biodiversity and chemical properties in raspberry production
(Elsevier, 2022-07)Soil biodiversity is the driving force behind most soil processes. While potentially improving plant productivity and food quality, it can be negatively affected by land use and soil management. Raspberry production is ... -
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 ... -
