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 ... -
Characterization of the earwig, Doru lineare, as a predator of larvae of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda: a functional response study
(Entomological Society of America, 2010-01)Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is considered as the most important pest of maize in almost all tropical America. In Argentina, the earwig Doru lineare Eschscholtz (Dermaptera: Forficulidae) has been ... -
Spatial density‐dependent parasitism and specificity in the robber fly Mallophora ruficauda (Diptera: Asilidae)
(Wiley, 2010-02)The density‐dependence in parasitism by the robber fly Mallophora ruficauda (Diptera: Asilidae) on scarab beetle larvae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) populations was studied in the present research. Mallophora ruficauda is a ... -
Effect of stand density and pruning on growth of ponderosa pines in NW Patagonia, Argentina
(2010-03)Due to the lack of knowledge about ponderosa pine performance under silvopastoral systems (SPS) conditions, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of stand density and pruning on the growth magnitude of ... -
High genetic variation in marginal fragmented populations at extreme climatic conditions of the Patagonian Cypress Austrocedrus chilensis
(Elsevier, 2010-03)Knowledge about current patterns of genetic structure of populations together with the evolutionary history of a species helps to understand and predict the adaptation of populations to future climate change. We assayed ... -
Perfiles de diámetro de fibra en lanas preparto de ovejas merino. 1. Estudio comparativo de líneas genéticas
(Asociación Argentina de Producción Animal, 2010-04)Con el objetivo de evaluar la variabilidad de respuesta en diámetro de fibra de distintos tipos de Merino en el noroeste de la Patagonia argentina, se analizaron características del perfil de diámetros de fibra en 498 ... -
Seedling drought stress susceptibility in two deciduous Nothofagus species of NW Patagonia
(2010-06)The physiological capacities of seedlings to cope with drought may be subject to strong selective pressure in the context of future climate scenarios, threatening the regeneration and sustainability of forests. Characterization ... -
Efecto del nivel de alimentación sobre la producción de lana de dos líneas genéticas de ovinos
(Asociación Argentina de Producción Animal, 2010-07)A los fines de estudiar si ovinos genéticamente más productivos son también más eficientes en la conversión de alimento en lana y si esa eficiencia se mantiene en diferentes ambientes nutricionales se realizó un ensayo con ... -
Characterization of Awassi lamb fattening systems: a Syrian case study
(2010-10)Intensive lamb fattening systems are evolving in developing Middle Eastern countries due to high demand for lambs at favorable prices; however, little is known about their characteristics and constraints. A survey was ... -
Efficient sampling of ground-dwelling arthropods using pitfall traps in arid steppes
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2010-12)Pitfall trapping is probably the most frequently used method for sampling grounddwelling arthropods. While the capture of specimens in pitfall traps largely depends on the number of individuals in the sampled area, trap ... -
Is forage productivity of meadows influenced by the afforestation of upstream hillsides? A study in NW Patagonia
(2011)Meadows are important reserves of water, with a key role in the maintenance of the biodiversity and productivity of ecosystems. In Patagonia, Argentina, afforestation with fast-growing exotic conifers has slowly but ... -
Phenotypic variation of basic wood density in Pinus ponderosa plus trees = Variación fenotípica de la densidad básica de la madera de árboles plus de Pinus ponderosa
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 2011)Phenotypic selection generally reduces the variability of both the selected trait and other associated characteristics. Some species show a negative strong relationship between growth traits and wood ... -
Can biosolids compost improve, in the short term, native vegetation and soils fertility in burned Nothofagus pumilio forest in Patagonia, Argentina? = ¿Puede el compost de biosólidos mejorar a corto plazo la vegetación nativa y las características de fertilidad del suelo en un bosque quemado de Nothofagus pumilio en la Patagonia Argentina?
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 2011)In the Patagonian Andean forests, wildfires principally have an anthropic origin and constitute one of the most important disturbances. They lead to severe losses of soil fertility and vegetation; particularly compromising ... -
Perfiles de diámetro de fibra en lanas preparto de ovejas merino. 2. Estudio comparativo de estados fisiológicos
(Asociación Argentina de Producción Animal, 2011-02)Se estudió el perfil del diámetro de fibras de lana de ovejas Merino superfinas (n=438) en cuatro estados fisiológicos, según estén preñadas o secas (PRE, SEC, respectivamente) y hayan destetado o no un cordero en el ... -
Why do Pinus species have different growth dominance patterns than Eucalyptus species? A hypothesis based on differential physiological plasticity
(Elsevier, 2011-03-15)It has been observed that Eucalyptus stands show high growth dominance levels while Pinus stands show null or low growth dominance levels. We hypothesized that this differential behaviour is linked to a higher degree of ... -
Potential impact of the leaf‐cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis on conifer plantations in northern Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley, 2011-05)The economic losses associated with crop damage by invasive pests can be minimized by recognizing their potential impact before they spread into new areas or crops. We experimentally evaluated the preferences of the ... -
Genetic variation of xylem hydraulic properties shows that wood density is involved in adaptation to drought in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.))
(Springer, 2011-05)Relationships between wood density and hydraulic efficiency and safety (hydraulic specific conductivity and vulnerability to cavitation, respectively) could clarify the physiological process explaining the impact of density ... -
Circadian oscillation of gibberellin signaling in Arabidopsis
