On the spatio-temporal coherence of extreme precipitation indices in subtropical Argentina
(Elsevier, 2025-07)This study evaluates the spatio-temporal coherence of regional extreme precipitation indices in subtropical Argentina (STAr) derived from rain gauge station data from 1991 to 2021. For the regionalization two machine ... -
Forage selection overlap between co-occurring introduced ungulates: insights for conservation management of a Sub-Antarctic Island
(Springer, 2025-04)The presence of exotic herbivores can have detrimental effects on insular ecosystems because it usually involves the introduction of a previously absent functional group. Understanding feeding behavior is crucial to manage ... -
The role of healthy wetlands in mitigating volcanic tephra impacts in Northern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2025-06)In natural grasslands under extensive grazing, volcanic events pose risks to livestock health and production. Volcanic tephra tends to persist and remain remobilized for years in arid and semi-arid environments, which can ... -
Los sesgos del contra-consenso eco-alarmista
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2025-04)Respaldado por un artículo previo en la sección Debate, Grau (2023) propone cinco grupos de tópicos que desafían posturas presumiblemente establecidas en la comunidad de ecólogos y ambientalistas. Sobre la base de un ... -
Sex bias in parasitism by Deladenus siricidicola and its implications for the success of biological control of invasive Sirex noctilio populations
(Taylor and Francis, 2025-01)In systems with an arthropod host and a parasite, there is no general pattern in the sex bias in the infection. One of the best-studied forest pest systems involves the woodwasp pest Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) ... -
Assessment of two seed technologies for the direct seeding of Festuca pallescens, a key species for grassland restoration in Patagonia
(Wiley, 2025-03)Direct seeding of native species is a practice with high potential for the restoration of degraded areas. Since the availability of seeds of native species is often limited, it is necessary to make the most of this resource. ... -
Wild vs. cultivated strawberries: differential fruit quality traits and antioxidant properties in Fragaria chiloensis and Fragaria × ananassa
(Springer, 2025-03)Nature can contribute to human well-being in various ways, yet some culturally significant wild species remain understudied. This is the case with the red form of Fragaria chiloensis subsp. chiloensis, a wild relative of ... -
Using near-infrared spectroscopy as a cost-effective method to characterise soil and leaf properties in native forest
(Elsevier, 2025-03)Forests conservation and sustainable management of forests require an understanding of ecological traits that influence carbon and nutrient turnover in forest ecosystems. This study evaluates the potential of Near Infrared ... -
Novel associations among insect herbivores and trees: Patterns of occurrence and damage on pines and eucalypts
(Wiley, 2025-03)Globalization has led to a significant increase in the establishment of forest plantations with exotic species and to the accidental introduction of forest insects worldwide. Cumulatively, these factors contribute to the ... -
Salt-regulated prepartum supplementation and parity effects on maternal performance, wool growth, and lamb development in Merino ewes grazing in semi-arid steppes
(Elsevier, 2025-02)The impact of prepartum supplementation using a balanced diet incorporating salt as an intake regulator was assessed on maternal live weight, body condition, wool production, maternal and lamb behavior, and lamb growth up ... -
Genetic variation and heritability of agronomic traits in a native perennial forage species from drylands: breeding potential of Festuca pallescens
(Springer Nature, 2025-02)Festuca pallescens is a native forage grass species of Patagonia, playing a crucial role in supporting sheep production in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. This study assessed genetic differentiation among populations and ... -
Parallels and discrepancies between non-native species introductions and human migration
(Wiley, 2025-02)Biological invasions and human migrations have increased globally due to socio-economic drivers and environmental factors that have enhanced cultural, economic, and geographic connectivity. Both processes involve the ... -
Underground Neighbors: Shared Root-Associated Fungi Facilitating the Coexistence of Nothofagus obliqua and Pinus ponderosa
(Springer, 2025-02)Despite the environmental and economic advantages of mixed plantations over monospecific ones, their implementation remains limited due to a lack of comprehensive understanding. Soil microorganisms, particularly root-associated ... -
Pine needle abortions in cattle due to consumption of pinus ponderosa in Argentina: case reports
(Elsevier, 2024-04-11)Two outbreaks of pine needle abortions in cattle are here reported for the first time in Argentina. The cases occurred in Chubut and Neuqu´en provinces in the Patagonia region, causing 29.6% and 9% of abortions in each ... -
Worker trapping: a sustainable management tool for invasive social wasps?
(Taylor and Francis, 2024-01)The invasive social wasp Vespula germanica is a harmful pest, mainly in urban environments. Despite extensive research on ecology and control, there are currently no effective, sustainable strategies to manage populations ... -
