Exposure of Nonbreeding Migratory Shorebirds to Cholinesterase Inhibiting Contaminants in the Western Hemisphere
(Oxford Academic Press, 2010-02)Migratory shorebirds frequently forage and roost in agricultural habitats, where they may be exposed to cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides. Exposure to organophosphorus and carbamate compounds, common anti-cholinesterases, ... -
Fading opportunities for mitigating agriculture-environment trade-offs in a south American deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Strong trade-offs between agriculture and the environment occur in deforestation frontiers, particularly in the world's rapidly disappearing tropical and subtropical dry forests. Pathways to mitigate these trade-offs are ... -
Fire Regime, Climate, and Vegetation in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina
(2015)Wildfires are a primary disturbance in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina, with approximately 2 152 000 ha burned between 1993 and 2012. However, little is known about the spatial and temporal patterns of fires and their ... -
First test for eradication of beavers (Castor canadensis) in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
(Springer, 2020-08)The North American beaver (Castor canadensis) was introduced in 1946 from Canada to Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego to develop a fur industry. Their expansion to most of the habitats of Tierra del Fuego and their presence ... -
Frog body condition: Basic assumptions, comparison of methods and characterization of natural variability with field data from Leptodactylus Latrans
(2020-01-08)Body weight and snout-vent length (SVL) data of 3006 individual Leptodactylus latrans frogs collected over ten years in the Pampa Region of Argentina were analyzed to evaluate the best approach for expressing body condition ... -
Frog somatic indices: Importance of considering allometric scaling, relation with body condition and seasonal variation in the frog Leptodactylus latrans
(Elsevier, 2020)Snout-vent length (SVL) and liver, gonad, fat bodies and carcass weight data from 661 individual Leptodactylus latrans frogs collected over ten years in the Pampa Region of Argentina were analyzed to evaluate the best ... -
Future Land-Use Changes and the Potential for Novelty in Ecosystems of the United States
(2015-12)Rapid global changes due to changing land use, climate, and non-native species are altering environmental conditions, resulting in more novel communities with unprecedented species combinations. Understanding how future ... -
Genetic and physical mapping of the earliness perse locus Eps - Am1 in Triticum monococcum identifies early flowering 3 (ELF3) as a candidate gene
(2016-07)Wheat cultivars exposed to optimal photoperiod and vernalization treatments still exhibit differences in heading time. This variation, known as earliness per se (Eps), is important for the fine-tuning of flowering and the ... -
Genetic diversity and differentiation among Prosopis alba (Leguminosae) populations from dry valleys of Bolivia with different levels of human disturbance and altitude
(Wiley, 2018-10-31)The fast expansion of human population around La Paz, Bolivia (3,200–4,100 m.a.s.l.) triggered new suburban settlements in nearby areas in valleys and mountain feet. The white mesquite, Prosopis alba Griseb. (Leguminosae), ... -

(Oxford University Press, 2018-11)Genetic parameters for growth, stem straightness, and branch quality were estimated in five progeny trials of Pinus elliottii var. elliottii (PEE) × Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis (PCH) F1 hybrid measured at ages three, ... -
Genetic structure in cultivated quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), a reflection of landscape structure in Northwest Argentina
(Springer, 2012-08)Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), one of the main crops domesticated in the Andean highlands 1,000 of years ago, played an important role as a protein source. 35 germplasm accessions collected along the Northwest Argentina ... -
Genetic studies of various Prosopis species (Leguminosae, Section Algarobia) co- occurring in oases of the Atacama Desert (northern Chile)
(Wiley, 2021-03-01)In the Atacama Desert from northern Chile (19– 24°S), Prosopis (Leguminosae) individuals are restricted to oases that are unevenly distributed and isolated from each other by large stretches of barren landscape constituting ... -
Genetic variability of Araucaria angustifolia in the Argentinean Parana Forest and implications for management and conservation
(2018-08)The main forces shaping genetic variability of woody species in fragmented forest are the geographical distribution and demographic history of populations. We conducted molecular analyses to evaluate how these factors have ... -
