A first worldwide multispecies survey of invasive Mediterranean pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae)
(Springer, 2020-02)Several European and Mediterranean species of pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have become established in North America and the southern hemisphere, posing a novel threat to planted and naturally-occurring ... -
Aggressive tree killer or natural thinning agent? Assessing the impacts of a globally important forest insect
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Invasive insects and pathogens are prominent tree mortality agents in forests around the world, and the magnitude of their impacts is increasing. Comparative studies across multiple populations can be helpful for the ... -
Are the rhizosphere fungal communities of Nothofagus alpina established in two different environments influenced by plant genetic diversity?
(Elsevier, 2020-10)Fungi are one of the most important soil microorganisms due to their abundance and the importance of the ecosystem processes they carry out, like decomposition, nutrient cycling, and the establishment of biological ... -
Can early thinning and pruning lessen the impact of pine plantations on beetle and ant diversity in the Patagonian steppe?
(2012)Pine plantations are thought to negatively impact species diversity and to irreversibly modify arid zones. However, some studies have suggested that through the application of appropriate management practices, the negative ... -
Distribution, Invasion History, and Ecology of Non-native Pine Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in Southern South America
(Springer, 2024-01)The growth of international trade, coupled with an expansion of large-scale pine plantations in South America during the second half of the twentieth century, has significantly increased the opportunities for the invasion ... -
Ecology and management of invasive Pinaceae around the world : progress and challenges
(2017-06)Many species in the family Pinaceae are invaders. These species are relatively easy to control because of some of their intrinsic characteristics and because they are highly visible and easy to eliminate. Many Pinaceae ... -
First detection of the cosmopolitan invader Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann (Heteroptera: Coreidae) in Argentina
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019-08-12)Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann is a conifer seed bug, native to North America. This species is considered invasive and has reached several countries in the Northern Hemisphere and most recently Chile in South America. ... -
Host selection behaviour of the banded pine weevil, Pissodes castaneus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Wiley, 2023-08)Pissodes castaneus represents an emerging pest species for Pinus spp. production in Latin America. This species attacks all the cultivated pine species in Patagonia Argentina causing wood damage and tree death. The objectives ... -
Influences of pine plantations on small mammal assemblages of the Patagonian forest-steppe ecotone
(De Gruyter, 2011-08)The management of forested landscapes for biodiversity conservation is increasingly recognized as an important objective in Argentina. However, pine plantations are being established replacing native pristine or human ... -
Management of Sirex noctilio populations in exotic pine plantations: critical issues explaining invasion success and damage levels in South America
(Springer Nature, 2018-11)Plantation forestry with non-native trees is steadily increasing in the southern hemisphere and alien pest problems are also accumulating, as a consequence of the growing international movement of people and goods. Here, ... -
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 ... -
Pine plantations and invasion alter fuel structure and potential fire behavior in a patagonian forest-steppe ecotone
(2018-03-03)Planted and invading non-native plant species can alter fire regimes through changes in fuel loads and in the structure and continuity of fuels, potentially modifying the flammability of native plant communities. Such ... -
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 ... -
Spatial dynamics of a Sirex noctilio woodwasp population within a pine plantation in Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley, 2007-12)The woodwasp Sirex noctilio F. (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is probably the most important pest of pine tree plantations of the southern hemisphere. We studied the spatial arrangement of an endemic population of the woodwasp ... -
Understanding introduction history: Genetic structure and diversity of the edible ectomycorrhizal fungus, Suillus luteus, in Patagonia (Argentina)
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-06)Suillus luteus is a common ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungus associated with several Pinus species. It is distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and has been introduced into South America and New Zealand. We examined the ... -
Where to find structural grade timber: a case study in ponderosa pine based on stand and tree level factors
(Elsevier, 2020-03-01)Using portable acoustic tools, measurements of dynamic modulus of elasticity (Ed) were made in standing ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa (Dougl. ex Laws)) trees (n =437) growing in 22 stands encompassing the range of ... -
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 ...
