The role of soybean production as an underlying driver of deforestation in the South American Chaco
(2017-07)South America’s tropical dry forests and savannas are under increasing pressure from agricultural expansion. Cattle ranching and soybean production both drive these forest losses, but their relative importance remains ... -
Tissue distribution and sublethal effects of imidacloprid in the South American grayish baywing (Agelaioides badius)
(Elsevier, 2021-12)The neonicotinoids are globally used insecticides, which have been shown to cause negative impacts on birds. The current study aimed to evaluate the distribution of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid (IMI) in the tissues of a ... -
Toward sustainable environmental quality: Identifying priority research questions for Latin America
(2018-02)The Global Horizon Scanning Project (GHSP) is an innovative initiative that aims to identify important global environmental quality research needs. Here we report 20 key research questions from Latin America (LA). Members ... -
Toxicities of glyphosate- and cypermethrin-based pesticides are antagonic in the tenspotted livebearer fish (Cnesterodon decemmaculatus)
(2016)Although pesticide contamination of surface waters normally occurs in the form of mixtures, the toxicity and interactions displayed by such mixtures have been little characterized until now. The present study examined ... -
Toxicity to Rhinella arenarum tadpoles (Anura, Bufonidae) of herbicide mixtures commonly used to treat fallow containing resistant weeds: glyphosateedicamba and glyphosateeflurochloridone
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)Glyphosate (GLY)-dicamba (DIC) and GLY-flurochloridone (FLC) are herbicide mixtures which are widely used for treating fallow containing glyphosate resistant weeds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute toxic ... -
Trade‐offs between biodiversity and agriculture are moving targets in dynamic landscapes
(Wiley, 2020-07)Understanding how biodiversity responds to intensifying agriculture is critical to mitigating the trade‐offs between them. These trade‐offs are particularly strong in tropical and subtropical deforestation frontiers, yet ... -
Transcriptional signatures of wheat inforescence development
(Springer Nature, 2022-10-14)In order to maintain global food security, it will be necessary to increase yields of the cereal crops that provide most of the calories and protein for the world’s population, which includes common wheat (Triticum aestivum ... -
Transcriptome survey of Patagonian southern beech Nothofagus nervosa (= N. Alpina): assembly, annotation and molecular marker discovery
(Genomics 13: 291 (2012), 2012-07-02)Nothofagus nervosa is one of the most emblematic native tree species of Patagonian temperate forests. Here, the shotgun RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) of the transcriptome of N. nervosa, including de novo assembly, functional ... -
Trends in reference evapotranspiration and associated climate variables over the last 30 years (1984–2014) in the Pampa region of Argentina
(2018-07-21)Agricultural production is sensitive to weather and thus directly affected by climate change. In Argentina, the geographic region known as the “Pampa” is at the heart of agricultural production. In this context, the objective ... -
Ultra sensitive microfluidic immunosensor for determination of clenbuterol in bovine hair samples using electrodeposited gold nanoparticles and magnetic micro particles as bio-affinity platform
(Elsevier, 2013-03-15)In this article, we report the first integrated microfluidic immunosensor coupled to a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) applied to determination of clenbuterol (CLB) in bovine hair samples. CLB is a member of the ... -
Unveiling the increasingly altered patterns of wetland ecosystem functional diversity in the lower Delta of the Paraná River
(Wiley, 2022-07-08)Since climate, environmental and anthropic controls affect ecosystem functioning simul taneously, wetlands are permanently changing at different spatio–temporal scales. Thus, regionalizations based not only on structural, ... -
Unweaving the population structure and genetic diversity of Canadian shrub willow
(Springer Nature, 2022-10-14)Perennial shrub willow are increasingly being promoted in short-rotation coppice systems as biomass feedstocks, for phytoremediation applications, and for the diverse ecosystem services that can accrue. This renewed interest ... -
Using occupancy models to assess the direct and indirect impacts of agricultural expansion on species’ populations
(Springer, 2020-08)Land-use change is a global threat to biodiversity, but how land-use change affects species beyond the direct effect of habitat loss remains poorly understood. We developed an approach to isolate and map the direct and ... -
Uso de microorganismos eficaces en un argiudol típico. Efecto sobre las propiedades físicas y químicas y rendimiento de lechuga (Lactuca sativa)
(Facultad de Agronomía y Ciencias Agroalimentarias, Universidad de Morón, 2017-12-01)El experimento se llevó a cabo en una huerta ubicada en la localidad de La Matanza, Provincia de Buenos Aires, para evaluar los efectos de EMbiotic sobre las propiedades físico-químicas del suelo, y sobre el rendimiento y ... -
Variation in seed dormancy of Chaco seasonally dry forest species: Effects of seed traits and population environmental conditions
(MDPI, 2023-04-27)The persistence of subtropical seasonally dry forests urgently requires the implementation of ex situ conservation and restoration programs. We studied variation in seed traits and dormancy of six native species growing ... -
Venation Patterns in Mimosa subseries Dolentes and Brevipedes (Leguminosae) and their Taxonomical Inferences
(2018-06-21)Mimosa is a megadiverse genus of pantropical and subpantropical distribution. High morphological variability at infraspecific levels has often led to problems in the delimitation of taxa and the formation of taxonomic ... -
Water management infrastructure alters plant species composition, functional diversity and soil condition in a livestock impaired mosaic of wetlands
(Wiley, 2022-11-24)Wetlands are fundamental in conserving biodiversity, regulating pollution, and as natural reservoirs of water, among several other contributions to people. Wetlands not only harbor for a great number of animal species, but ... -
