Spatiotemporal outbreak dynamics of bark and wood-boring insects
(Elsevier, 2023-02)Bark and wood-boring insects (BWI) can cause important disturbances in forest ecosystems, and their impact depends on their spatiotemporal dynamics. Populations are usually at stable, low densities but can be disrupted by ... -
Spontaneous outbreak of Astragalus pehuenches (Fabaceae) poisoning in cattle in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2018-11)This is the first report of a spontaneous outbreak of Astragalus pehuenches poisoning on a farm in Argentine Patagonia, where 63 out of 70 cattle died. The main clinical signs of affected animals were ataxia, balance loss ... -
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 ... -
Stand development stages and recruitment patterns influence fine-scale spatial genetic structure in two Patagonian Nothofagus species
(Springer, 2022-05)Key message: Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. et Endl.) Oerst. and Nothofagus obliqua (Mirb.) Oerst forests have strong fine-scale spatial genetic structures. The intensity of genetic structure patterns differed according to ... -
Staying close: short local dispersal distances on a managed forest of two Patagonian Nothofagus species
(Oxford University Press, 2020-05)Understanding the impact of management on the dispersal potential of forest tree species is pivotal in the context of global change, given the implications of gene flow on species evolution. We aimed to determine the effect ... -
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 ... -
Strategies Steering Intensification Pathways of Farmers in Central Malawi
(Springer, 2023-06)Smallholder farmers face many challenges to improve their livelihoods and food security. Intensification of agricultural production can help to achieve these goals. Yet farmers are highly heterogenous in their strategies ... -
Structural–functional approach to identify post-disturbance recovery indicators in forests from northwestern Patagonia: a tool to prevent state transitions
(Elsevier, 2015-05)The disruption of the natural post-disturbance recovery process, either by changes in disturbance regime or by another disturbance, can trigger transitions to alternative degraded states. In a scenario of high disturbance ... -
Structure and composition of a thrips community in the Chihuahua Desert, New Mexico, U.S.
(Florida Entomological Society, 2012-03)We examined plant used versus plant availability by a thysanopteran community on 13 woody and perennial native plants in the Chihuahua Desert. Individual plants were sampled with sticky-traps on 8 dates from May 1997 to ... -
Substrates Preference for Pupation on Sawfly Notofenusa surosa (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)
(Springer, 2015-05)The choices made by insects at different stages of their life cycle are critical for the individual and progeny success. In the case of leaf-miners, during larval development they are not able to make choices until the ... -
Sugar responsiveness could determine foraging patterns in yellowjackets
(Nature, 2023-11)Sympatric-related species often exhibit resource partitioning. This can occur through diferent mechanisms, such as behavioral, morphological, and sensory variations, leading to qualitative, temporal, or spatial diferences ... -
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 ... -
Sustainable livelihoods approach through the lens of the State-ans-Transition Model in semi-arid pastoral systems
(2016)Enfrentar desafíos complejos a nivel mundial en relación con el desarrollo sostenible y la gestión ambiental requiere marcos aplicados para comprender y gestionar el cambio en sistemas sociales y ecológicos complejos. A ... -
Technical recommendations for artificial insemination in sheep
(Colégio Brasileiro de Reprodução Animal, 2019-11)Artificial insemination (AI) was the first important biotechnology applied to improve the genetics of farm animals. It allows the rapid and massive diffusion of desirable characteristics of males with high productive ... -
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 ... -
Temperature explains variable spread rates of the invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio in the Southern Hemisphere
(2014-02)La frecuencia de introducciones de no indígena insectos forestales en nuevos hábitats va en aumento en todo el mundo, a menudo con consecuencias profundamente negativas sobre los ecosistemas naturales y las plantaciones ... -
Tensiones entre conservación de ecosistemas y desarrollo territorial: hacia un abordaje socioecológico en las Ciencias Agropecuarias
(Editorial Potificia Universidad Javeriana, 2018-06)Las ciencias agropecuarias constituyen un vínculo académico entre sociología y ecología. Actualmente, existe la predominancia de una perspectiva tecnocrática orientada a aumentar la productividad y la eficiencia, con una ... -
The Ambrosia Beetle Megaplatypus mutatus: A Threat to Global Broad-Leaved Forest Resources
(Entomological Society of America, 2022-08)We provide scientists and decision-makers with up-to-date information on Megaplatypus mutatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae), a forest insect native to South America that has invaded other regions. Emphasis is ... -
The application of ecologically intensive principles to the systemic redesign of livestock farms on native grasslands: A case of co-innovation in Rocha, Uruguay
(Elsevier, 2021-06)CONTEXT: Family-run cow-calf farms based on native grasslands exhibit low economic and social sustainability, as reflected in low family incomes and high workloads. Experimental results have shown that pasture–herd interaction ...
