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 ... -
Transcriptomic responses to drought stress in the Patagonian southern beech Nothofagus alpina
(Springer Open, 2024-05)Background: Deciphering the genetic architecture of drought tolerance could allow the candidate genes identification responding to water stress. In the Andean Patagonian forest, the genus Nothofagus represents an ecologically ... -
Transgénesis: una moderna biotecnología reproductiva en animales de interés zootécnico
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2014-08)Los continuos avances en el conocimiento de la biología molecular han permitido un gran progreso de la ciencia, mediante la modificación genética tanto de virus, bacterias como de organismos superiores. Estos procedimientos ... -
Las transiciones agroecológicas: múltiples escalas, niveles y desafíos
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2019)Transitar hacia una producción de alimentos sostenible a través de los principios de la agroecología implica no una transición, sino varias transiciones simultáneas, a diferentes escalas, niveles y dimensiones; de índole ... -
Trapping success and flight behavior of two parasitoid species of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio
(Elsevier, 2019-04-19)Classical biological control relies on the deliberate introduction of natural enemies to reduce pest populations below damage thresholds. Knowledge on key aspects of the behavior of antagonists and their population densities ... -
Tratamientos hormonales para incrementar la eficiencia reproductiva en los ovinos
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2016-07-20)La eficiencia reproductiva en el ovino puede verse afectada por las pérdidas ocurridas durante la gestación las cuales constituyen uno de los factores que influyen en los parámetros productivos de esta especie. Entre las ... -
Trend-cycles of vegetation dynamics as a tool for land degradation assessment and monitoring
(Elsevier, 2019-07)The use of time series of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), obtained from satellite sensors has become frequent in studies for land degradation assessment and monitoring. Linear trends of NDVI are usually ... -
Triclabendazole resistance in Fasciola hepatica: First report in sheep from the Santa Cruz province, Argentinian Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2023-10)In the fall of 2022, decreased triclabendazole (TCBZ) efficacy against F. hepatica was suspected in a sheep farm located in the Santa Cruz province, Argentinian Patagonia. Since TCBZ-resistance in F. hepatica has never ... -
