Habitat suitability models for the sand lizard Liolaemus wiegmannii based on landscape characteristics in temperate coastal dunes in Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-09)
The knowledge of environmental variables associated with the species occurrence allows the recognition of sites which fulfil ecological requirements eventually used for conservation of species. The coastal dunes of Argentina ...
The role of sexual versus asexual recruitment of Artemisia wudanica in transition zone habitats between interdune lowlands and active dunes in Inner Mongolia, China
(Copernicus GmbH, 2016-04)
Artemisia wudanica is an endemic, perennial pioneering psammophyte species in the sand dune ecosystems of western Horqin Sand Land in northern China. However, no studies have addressed how sexual and asexual reproduction ...
A management strategy for the long-term conservation of the Endangered sand-dune lizard Liolaemus multimaculatus in the Pampean coastal dunes of Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-08)
The sand-dune lizard Liolaemus multimaculatus is an Endangered species endemic to the Pampean coastal dunes of Argentina. To inform the development of a futureAction Plan for this species, we investigated the demography ...
Habitat Selection by Burrowing Owls Athene cunicularia in the Pampas of Argentina: A Multiple-Scale Assessment
(Museum & Inst Zoology, 2016-12)
Human-induced habitat changes have been typically linked to negative effects on native species, but an increasing number of studies show that many species are unaffected by these changes or even benefited from them. The ...
Local extinction of melanophryniscus montevidensis (Anura: Bufonidae) in the Argentine pampas
(Pensoft Publishers, 2017-07)
Melanophryniscus montevidensis inhabits sandy dunes along the Rio de la Plata shoreline and Atlantic coast in Uruguay and southern Brazil. Here we report 2 specimens from different localities at eastern Buenos Aires province, ...
Factors affecting the spatial ecology of the lizard Liolaemus wiegmannii in the pampasic coastal dunes of Argentina
(British Herpetological Society, 2016-01)
Home ranges of lizards are the result of both internal (body condition, reproductive status) and external factors, such as habitat features and resource availability. Habitat modification induced by introduced plants ...
Effect of the tree invasion on the habitat use of sand lizard
(Herpetologists League, 2013-11)
The introduction of exotic tree species may cause conservation problems to natural habitats, also true for original grasslands in coastal sand dunes. Natural plant cover is used by several species in coast line dunes of ...
Responses of two sympatric sand lizards to exotic forestations in the coastal dunes of Argentina: some implications for conservation
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-03)
Context. Exotic forestations may modify habitat quality, affecting native animal populations that require specific microhabitats to remain viable. Aims. We determined whether abundances and body condition of the lizard ...
