Sensitivity analysis of the pesticide in water calculator model for applications in the Pampa región of Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-01-01)Despite the widespread use of pesticides in the Pampa region of Argentina, mathematical models are rarely employed to predict pesticide fate due to the lack of regionally tested models and the absence of readily available ... -
Shinyssd v1.0: Species sensitivity distributions for ecotoxicological risk assessment
(2019-05-29)Living organisms have different sensitivities to toxicants. This variability can be represented by constructing a species sensitivity distribution(SSD) curve, where by the toxicity of a substance to a group of species is ... -
Single - step genomic prediction of Eucalyptus dunnii using different identity by descent and identity by state relation ship matrices
(Nature, 2021-06-18)Eucalyptus L’Hér. (Myrtaceae) is the most valuable and globally planted forest tree genus. Fast growth, adaptability to a broad diversity of tropical and subtropical regions, combined with versatile wood properties for ... -
Single-step BLUP with varying genotyping effort in open-pollinated Picea glauca
(2017-03)Maximization of genetic gain in forest tree breeding programs is contingent on the accuracy of the predicted breeding values and precision of the estimated genetic parameters. We investigated the effect of the combined use ... -
Small mammal responses to farming practices in central Argentinian agroecosystems: the use of hierarchical occupancy models
(Ecological Society of Australia, 2018-08)Organic farming is more environmentally friendly than conventional agriculture, promoting greater levels of habitat heterogeneity. Field borders could be more suitable for biodiversity in agricultural anthromes. Small ... -
Spatial pattern of Pindó Palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) recruitment in Argentinian atlantic forest: the importance of tapir and effects of defaunation
(Wiley; Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation, 2014-11)Hunting pressure, fragmentation and deforestation have caused global declines in animal abundance, and the consequences for plant communities are poorly understood. Many large‐seeded plants, for instance, depend on large ... -
SSRs, SNPs and DArTs comparison on estimation of relatedness and genetic parameters’ precision from a small half-sib sample population of eucalyptus grandis
(2016)Simple sequence repeats (SSR) are the most widely used molecular markers for relatedness inference due to their multi-allelic nature and high informativeness. However, there is a growing trend toward using high-throughput ... -
Stability and fragmentation versus demographic expansion: different phylogeographic patterns in closely related sympatric legumes (Senna) from arid and semi-arid zones of mid-latitude South America
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03-01)This is the first comparative research in which phylogeographical patterns and present and palaeoclimatic distribution were investigated in desert plants that inhabit the Argentinian Monte and Chaco biogeographic provinces. ... -
Statistically based soil climate exposure scenarios for aquatic pesticides fate modelling and exposure assessment in the Pampa Region of Argentina
(Wiley, 2022-09-05)Although pesticides are used intensively in Argentina's Pampa region, the possibility of performing an environmental risk assessment (ERA) remains limited due to the absence of readily available databases to run pesticide ... -
Stomatal micromorphology in a complex of Mimosa section Mimosa (Fabaceae)
(Springer, 2021-04-20)The genus Mimosa Linnaeus (Leguminosae) comprises more than 530 species, being one of the most diversified genera in the family. A vast morphologic variability has been described at all infrageneric levels. Considering ... -
Storage lipids and proteins of Euterpe edulis seeds
(Sociedad Latinoamericana de Microscopía Electrónica y Centro Regional de Investigaciones Científicas y Tecnológicas (Mendoza, Argentina), 2009)Comparative studies on fatty acid and protein composition of the endosperm and embryo of palmito (Euterpe edulis Martius) were conducted using gas-liquid chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate– polyacrylamide gel ... -
Structural aspects of dormancy in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa): Importance and possible action mechanisms of the seed coat
(2015-05)Two possible sources of resistance to pre-harvest sprouting were evaluated in quinoa. They showed dormancy at harvest and significant variations in dormancy level in response to environmental conditions experienced during ... -
Synergy between glyphosate- and cypermethrin-based pesticides during acute exposures in tadpoles of the common South American Toad Rhinella arenarum
(2014)The herbicide glyphosate and the insecticide cypermethrin are key pesticides of modern management in soy and corn cultures. Although these pesticides are likely to co-occur in ephemeral ponds or aquatic systems supporting ... -
Taxonomic novelties in Myrosmodes (Orchidaceae) from the northwestern Argentine Andes
(Springere, 2019-12-05)Myrosmodes noemiae (Orchidaceae), a new species from the Puna biome in the high northwestern Argentine Andes, is described and illustrated. This species is currently known from a single population; its habitat, a distribution ... -
Tecnología de procesos en la generación de biogás a partir de subproductos agrícolas
(2014)Durante la última década hemos sido testigos de un crecimiento exponencial del empleo de diferentes fuentes de biomasa con fines energéticos comerciales. Esta tendencia fuertemente apoyada por el ambientalismo se ha ... -
The chromosome region including the earliness per se locus Eps-Am1 affects the duration of early developmental phases and spikelet number in diploid wheat
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2008-10)Earliness per se genes are those that regulate flowering time independently of vernalization and photoperiod, and are important for the fine tuning of flowering time and for the wide adaptation of wheat to different ... -
The dynamics of three shrub species in a fire-prone temperate savanna: the interplay between the seed bank, seed rain and fire regime
