Economic costs of invasive non-native species in urban areas: an underexplored financial drain
(Elsevier, 2024-03)Urbanization is an important driver of global change associated with a set of environmental modifications that affect the introduction and distribution of invasive non-native species (species with populations transported ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Predicting the distribution of plant species from southern South America: are the hotspots of genetic diversity threatened by climate change?
(Springer, 2024-01)Biodiversity in all its dimensions is being threatened by climate change and the impact of human activities. Genetic diversity is a key dimension of biodiversity underlying adaptation to global changes. Here we assess the ... -
Effects of elevated CO2 on the water hyacinth-biocontrol agent Megamelus scutellaris (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) and its yeast-like symbiotes
(Elsevier, 2024-01)Water hyacinth, Pontederia crassipes, is a highly invasive plant native to South America and one of the most invasive aquatic plants in the world. For its control, the planthopper Megamelus scutellaris Berg (Hemiptera: ... -
Comportamiento hidrológico de un paisaje con diferentes estados del pastizal en la Patagonia árida
(Asociación Argentina de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2023-12)En Patagonia árida, la forma de uso de la tierra más extendida es el pastoreo por ganado doméstico. A pesar de ello, la región carece de un entendimiento acabado sobre la generación de los flujos de escorrentía en áreas ... -
Sugar responsiveness could determine foraging patterns in yellowjackets
(Nature, 2023-11)Sympatric-related species often exhibit resource partitioning. This can occur through diferent mechanisms, such as behavioral, morphological, and sensory variations, leading to qualitative, temporal, or spatial diferences ... -
Análisis de la susceptibilidad a la erosión hídrica en una cuenca de la Patagonia árida bajo distintos escenarios = Analysis of water erosion susceptibility at an arid Patagonia watershed in different scenarios
(Instituto Interuniversitario de Geografía, Universidad de Alicante, 2023-12)La erosión hídrica es una de las principales causas de degradación de tierras. Las estimaciones de erosión son fundamentales para la optimización de estrategias de conservación de suelos. Por eso estudiamos la susceptibilidad ... -
Integrating family farmers’ perceptions with meteorological records and national climate change projections to enhance site-specific adaptation knowledge
(Springer, 2023-12)Adaptation strategies to climate change (CC) that do not consider local perspectives tend to fail at specifc sites. Searching for complementary actions, we aimed to assess how farmers’ perceptions about climatic hazards ... -
Drylands becoming drier: evidence from North Patagonia, Argentina
(Springer, 2023-12)In the last decades, Northern Patagonia (Argentina) has shown linear trends to drier conditions in distinct hydrological variables. Therefore, North Patagonia climate changes were studied using streamfow data of Neuquén ... -
Optimal automatic enhanced ERA5 daily precipitation data for environmental and agricultural monitoring tools in scarce data regions
(Springer, 2023-11-10)The development of monitoring and early warning tools for environmental and agricultural applications is highly restricted in scarce climate data regions. In particular, precipitation data is a key input for several ... -
Flight capabilities of invasive yellowjacket Vespula germanica drones: the effect of kinship and nutrition
(Wiley, 2024-01)Dispersal is a multifactorial process which may influence, among several others, population dynamics, inbreeding likelihood, and mate competition. For species that disperse by flight, many studies have suggested that ... -
Damage reduction of Acromyrmex lobicornis in Pinus ponderosa using mixed pine species in combination with push–pull tools
(Wiley, 2023-11)Leaf-cutting ants (LCAs) cause significant damage to forest plantations and are mainly managed by broad-spectrum synthetic insecticides. In Patagonia, Pinus ponderosa (Pinales: Pinaceae) (Douglas 1836) and Pinus contorta ... -
Ecosystemic structural–functional approach of the state and transition model
(Wiley, 2011-02)Objective: To contribute to the integration of key ecological concepts such as dynamic equilibrium, critical threshold, resistance and resilience to the ‘State and Transition Model’ (STM), in order to apply them in a more ... -
Resident Hymenopteran Parasitoids with Potential Drosophilid Associations in Andean North Patagonia: Implications for the Biological Control of the Spotted Wing Drosophila
(Springer, 2023-09)The spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, is native to Southeast Asia and has become a serious pest of soft-skinned fruits worldwide. Several control methods are being tested worldwide as part of an ... -
Clone differences among young Salix humboldtiana Willd. from Patagonia
(Springer, 2023-09)Willows represent some of the most extended tree crop species worldwide. Understanding their global architecture could help improving the forestry based on these species and thus the associated economic activities. Our ... -
Polistes dominula (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) paper wasps detect native grasshoppers using olfactory cues
(Wiley, 2023-10)Polistes dominula is an invasive social wasp that preys on the grasshopper Dichroplus elongatus, which constitutes a potential agricultural pest in Northwest Patagonia. This grasshopper feeds on a wide variety of plants, ... -
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 ... -
