25 Years of Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management: Why Some Intergovernmental C&I Processes Flourished While Others Faded
(MDPI, 2018-08-25)The use of criteria and indicators (C&I) for data collection, monitoring, assessing and reporting on sustainable forest management (SFM) has been growing since the Earth Summit in 1992, supported by eleven intergovernmental, ... -
A combination of rules govern fruit trait preference by frugivorous bat and bird species: nutrients, defence and size
(Elsevier, 2021-06)Several hypotheses explain how sensory, anatomical and physiological constraints drive fruit preference in frugivores. Optimal diet theory (ODT) states that frugivores make decisions based on the energy contained in food. ... -
A cross-sectional study of free-roaming dogs in a Patagonian city: Their distribution and intestinal helminths in relation to socioeconomic aspects of neighborhoods
(Elsevier, 2022-08)Human and dog health are inextricably linked, and although our relationship with dogs brings numerous benefits for our well-being, it is known that they can transmit disease. Bariloche is a Patagonian tourist city with ... -
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 ... -
A Framework to tackling the synchrony between Social and Ecological phases of the annual cyclic movement of transhumant pastoralism
(MDPI, 2020-04)Transhumant pastoralism is mobile livelihood strategy in which families and their herds move seasonally from lowlands, where they settle during the winter, towards the highlands, located in mountainous areas, during the ... -
A Key Interaction Behind the Scenes: Dung Beetles in Livestock Production from Arid and Semi-Arid Rangelands
(Springer, 2024-02)Pastoralism is a dominant agricultural activity in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The interaction between coprophagous insects and livestock is a key but an undervalued topic in rangeland management decisions. The objective ... -
A Multi-Objective Model Exploration of Banana-Canopy Management and Nutrient Input Scenarios for Optimal Banana-Legume Intercrop Performance
(MDPI, 2021-02)Bananas on smallholder farmers in the African Great Lakes region are often pruned to illuminate shorter understory intercrops, reducing overall farm profitability. The impact of this practice on environmental and nutritional ... -
A multivariate geostatistical framework for combining multiple indices of abundance for disease vectors and reservoirs: a case study of rattiness in a low-income urban Brazilian community
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2020-09-02)A key requirement in studies of endemic vector-borne or zoonotic disease is an estimate of the spatial variation in vector or reservoir host abundance. For many vector species, multiple indices of abundance are available, ... -
A New Framework for Vegetation Productivity Dynamics Assessment in Patagonia: Rangeland Functional Archetypes
(Tech Science Press, 2024-09)Adaptive management in arid and semi-arid regions of Patagonia, Argentina, requires a thorough understanding of vegetative dynamics, which can be obtained via rangeland assessment and monitoring. These practices are essential ... -
A new model formulation for host depletion in parasitoids
(Elsevier, 2023-01)A new model of host depletion in the functional response of parasitoids is presented. Most existing models describe the dynamics of prey consumption as a sequential-memoryless/Markovian process of searching for, handling, ... -
A simple method to select high superovulatory responder goats
(Elsevier, 2023-01)In most female mammals, a common drawback to multiple ovulation embryo transfer programs is the variability in the superovulatory response to the multidose pFSH treatment. The aim of the present study was to identify embryo ... -
A study on dehairing of vicuña fiber: evaluation of yields and quality characteristics that impact on its transformation and textile added value
(Taylor and Francis, 2024-08)Dehairing is a key process in the textile transformation of double-coated animal fibers such as vicuña fleeces. The process consists in the mechanical separation of the coarse fibers (and additionally other foreign particles) ... -
A successful vitrification technique for goat morulae conservation
(Elsevier, 2022-04-01)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different vitrification and warming processes on the in vitro embryo survival of caprine morulae, considering the day of recovery. A total of 136 morulae of Criolla-Neuquina ... -
A synthesis on the impact of non-native conifer plantations on ant and beetle diversity in norh-western Patagonia
(2018-03)Softwood forestry with non-native tree species is increasing worldwide and especially in many developing countries of the Southern Hemisphere. Tree plantations are beneficial in environmental and socioeconomic aspects, but ... -
Adaptability to climate change in forestry species : drought effects on growth and wood anatomy of ponderosa pines growing at different competition levels
(2012)More stressful conditions are expected due to climatic change in several regions, including Patagonia, South-America. In this region, there are no studies about the impact of severe drought events on growth and wood ... -
Addition of eCG to a 14 d prostaglandin treatment regimen in sheep FTAI programs
(Elsevier, 2020-10)In the present study, there was evaluation of the alternative of adding eCG as part of a longinterval prostaglandin-F2α (PG) treatment on the reproductive efficiency of Merino sheep during the breeding season. A total of ... -
Advancing social insect research through the development of an automated yellowjacket nest activity monitoring station using deep learning
(Wiley, 2024-07)We describe the development and validation of an autonomous monitoring station that identifies and records the movement of social insects into and out of the colony. The hardware consists of an illuminated channel and a ... -
Aeolian Remobilisation of the 2011-Cordón Caulle Tephra-Fallout Deposit: Example of an Important Process in the Life Cycle of Volcanic Ash
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020-01-14)Although volcanic eruptions represent short periods in the whole history of a volcano, the large amount of loose pyroclastic material produced, combined with aeolian processes, can lead to continuous, long-lasting reworking ... -
