Species-specific effects of the herbaceous layer on recruitment of woody species under different shading and precipitation conditions
(Elsevier, 2020)
Herbs may affect the recruitment of woody species. However, most studies have evaluated the impact of one particular herb species or the herbaceous layer as a whole. It is less known if different herb species have different ...
Saproxylic Beetle Assemblage Selection as Determining Factor of Species Distributional Patterns: Implications for Conservation
(Oxford Univ Press, 2016)
The knowledge of the distributional patterns of saproxylic beetles is essential for conservation biology due to the relevance of this fauna in the maintenance of ecological processes and the endangerment of species. The ...
Assessing the value of species: a case study on the willingness to pay for species protection in Chile
(Springer, 2013)
We conduct a valuation of species protection
in central Chile's Campana National Park (CNP) using
the choice experiment (CE) method. The CNP has been
recognized as having global relevance for the conservation
of ...
Ecosystem engineering across ecosystems: do engineer species sharing common features have generalized or idiosyncratic effects on species diversity?
(BLACKWELL, 2006-02)
Aim To integrate the effects of ecosystem engineers (organisms that create, maintain or destroy habitat for other species) sharing the same archetype on species diversity, and assess whether different engineer species have ...
Cross-species and intraspecies morphometric analysis of the corpus callosum
(S. Karger AG, 2000)
A cross-species morphometric study of the corpus callosum was performed in the rat, rabbit, cat, dog, horse, cow and human. Across species, the results indicate a strong, although less than linear, dependency of callosal ...
Coexistence in metacommunities: A tree-species model
(ELSEVIER, 2006-07)
Simple patch-occupancy models of competitive metacommunities have shown that coexistence is possible as long as there is a competition-colonization tradeoff such as that of superior competitors and dispersers. In this ...
Impacts of ecosystem engineers on community attributes: effects of cushion plants at different elevations of the Chilean Andes
(BLACKWELL, 2006-07)
Ecosystem engineers are organisms able to modulate environmental forces and, hence, may change the habitat conditions for other species. In so doing, ecosystem engineers may affect both species richness and evenness of ...
The overrated use of the morphological cryptic species concept: An example with Nyctelia darkbeetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) using geometric morphometrics
(Elsevier, 2015)
The cryptic concept refers to two or more species that have been classified as a single nominal species due
to the fact that they are apparently morphologically indistinguishable. In recent years, the development
of ...
Assessing floristic representativeness in the protected areas national system of Chile: are vegetation types a good surrogate for plant species?
(Cambridge Univ. Press, 2016)
Conservation planning relies heavily on representativeness patterns. In Chile, this has not been assessed at the species level. This study evaluates floristic representativeness in the National System of Protected Areas ...
