Biogeographic anomalies in the species richness of Chilean forests: Incorporating evolution into a climatic – historic scenario
(Ecological Society of Australia, 2013)
Broad-scale richness gradients are closely associated with temperature and water availability. However,
historical and evolutionary processes have also contributed to shape current diversity patterns. In this paper we
focus ...
How well do the existing and proposed reserve networks represent vertebrate species in Chile?
(BLACKWELL, 2008-01)
Increasingly, biogeographical knowledge and analysis are playing a fundamental role in assessing the representativeness of biodiversity in protected areas, and in identifying critical areas for conservation. With almost ...
Floral integration and pollinator diversity in the generalized plant-pollinator system of Alstroemeria ligtu (Alstroemeriaceae)
(Springer, 2014)
Floral integration may result from the combined effects of pollinator-mediated selection, genetic correlations and abiotic factors. Thus, by sampling a set of populations in the field and examining their variation of floral ...
Spatial phylogenetics of the vascular flora of Chile
(Elsevier, 2017)
Current geographic patterns of biodiversity are a consequence of the evolutionary history of the lineages that comprise them. This study was aimed at exploring how evolutionary features of the vascular flora of Chile are ...
Estudios mastozoológicos colombianos, ii
(Caldasia, 1966)
This is a second contribution to the systematic and zoogeographical knowledge of the Colombian mammals. Sciurus (Guerlinguetus) aestuans georgihernandezi (new subsp.) is described from the vicinity of Mitú, Vaupés, at the ...
Genetic variation in Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce), a threatened South American conifer
(Blackwell, 1999)
Fitzroya cupressoides
(alerce, Cupressaceae) is a large and exceptionally long-lived conifer,
endemic to a restricted area of southern Chile and neighbouring areas of Argentina. As
a result of its high economic value, ...
Genetic relationships in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) using SSR markers and their implications for breeding
(WFL PUBL, 2008-10)
In this paper we evaluated the genetic diversity among apricot cultivars of different origins using SSR markers. Thirty-one apricot cultivars were evaluated, including one Japanese plum and one apricot x plum hybrid as ...
Sub-Antarctic freshwater invertebrate thermal tolerances: an assessment of critical thermal limits and behavioral responses
(MDPI, 2020)
Physiological thermal limits of organisms are linked to their geographic distribution. The assessment of such limits can provide valuable insights when monitoring for environmental thermal alterations. Using the dynamic ...
GENETIC EVIDENCE FOR GLACIAL REFUGIA OF THE TEMPERATE TREE EUCRYPHIA CORDIFOLIA (CUNONIACEAE) IN SOUTHERN SOUTH AMERICA
(2012)
Premise of the study: The temperate forests of southern South America were greatly affected by glaciations. Previous studies
have indicated that some cold-tolerant tree species were able to survive glacial periods in ...
Genetic diversity in Nothofagus alessandrii (Fagaceae), an endangered endemic tree species of the coastal maulino forest of central Chile
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2007-07)
Background and Aims The endemic tree Nothofagus alessandrii (Fagaceae) has been historically restricted to the coastal range of Region VII of central Chile, and its forests have been increasingly destroyed and fragmented ...
