The effect of pre-slaughter stressors on physiological indicators and meat quality traits on Merino lambs
(Elsevier, 2013-04)Merino lambs of 90 days of mean age (standard deviation – s.d. – 6 days) and 22.0 kg of mean live weight (s.d. 2.7 kg) were used to explore the effects of pre-slaughter stressors on physiological characteristics and meat ... -
The effect of weeding time on raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) crops yield and weed community in Rio Negro Province, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2013-02)Raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) is the most important crop in the (Andean Shire), an area situated at the south of Rio Negro Province in the south of Argentina. Organic berries production in this area increased significantly ... -
The effects of dietary nitrate on plasma glucose and insulin sensitivity in sheep
(Wiley Online Library, 2019-07)Nitrate (NO3 ¯) is an effective non‐protein nitrogen source for gut microbes and reduces enteric methane (CH4) production in ruminants. Nitrate is reduced to ammonia by rumen bacteria with nitrite (NO2 ¯) produced as an ... -
The effects of Quaternary glaciations in Patagonia as evidenced by chloroplast DNA phylogeography of Southern beech Nothofagus obliqua
(Springer, 2009-03)Climatic oscillations during the Quaternary strongly affected the distribution of warm-temperate tree species, which experienced local restrictions into ice-free areas and posterior expansions. To evaluate the impact of ... -
The effects of volcanic ash from Puyehue-Caulle range eruption on the survival of Dichroplus vittigerum (Orthoptera: Acrididae)
(2013-03)The aim of this work was to evaluate the toxicity of volcanic ash from the volcanic complex Puyehue-Caulle Range on the grasshopper, Dichroplus vittigerum, and compare the results with the effect of diatomaceous earth, an ... -
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 ... -
The Influence of Food and Con-specifics on the Flight Potential of the Parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides
(Springer, 2011-11)For insect parasitoids, knowledge of their flight capability is essential for a general understanding of the relationship with their hosts. For instance, flight capacity might partly determine their efficacy as biological ... -
The origins of global invasions of the German wasp (Vespula germanica) and its infection with four honey bee viruses
(Springer, 2018-12)A successful control or eradication programme using biological control or genetically-mediated methods requires knowledge of the origin and the extent of wasp genetic diversity. Mitochondrial DNA variation in the native ... -
The sign and magnitude of tree–grass interaction along a global environmental gradient
(2016-12)Aim: The ecological literature posits that positive interactions are preponderant in stressful environments; however, the net balance between positive and negative interactions at the community level is still under debate. ... -
The Use of hCG for Inducing Ovulation in Sheep Estrus Synchronization Impairs Ovulatory Follicle Growth and Fertility
(MDPI, 2021-04)Currently, there is an intense effort to find an alternative hormone to eCG to induce ovulation after estrus synchronization treatments in sheep. One of the proposed alternatives is based on the use of hCG, but the results ... -
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 ... -
Three easy fixes for sire use can enhance genetic progress in community-based breeding programmes
(Wiley, 2021)We analysed options to optimize the use of sires in sheep and goat community-based breeding programmes (CBBP) for three scenarios occurring under field conditions: premature sale of selection candidates, fixed service ... -
Towards environmentally sound intensification pathways for dairy development in the Tanga region of Tanzania
(Springer, 2020-11)The gap between milk demand and domestic supply in Tanzania is large and projected to widen. Meeting such demand through local production of affordable milk presents an opportunity to improve the welfare of producers and ... -
Towards sustainable forestry development in Patagonia: truths and myths of environmental impacts of plantations with fast-growing conifers
(2010)In NW Patagonia region, Argentina, South-America, there are about 70,000 ha of planted forests replacing from native forests to grasslands with different degrees of deterioration due to previous land use. Although forestry ... -
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 ... -
Tradeoffs around crop residue biomass in smallholder crop-livestock systems - Whatïs next?
(2015-03)Much has been written on the tradeoffs that smallholder farmers face when having to allocate their biomass resources among competing objectives such as feed, fuel, mulch, compost or the market. This paper summarises yet a ... -
