A matter of choice: Substrate preference by burrow-digging males of a sand-dwelling spider
(Springer Tokyo, 2018-09)
Animals may build refuges to avoid predation, to communicate, to mate, and to protect against extreme temperatures, among other factors. Allocosa senex is a wolf spider that constructs burrows in the coastal sand dunes of ...
Microscale nest-site selection by the Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) in the pampas of Argentina
(Wilson Ornithological Society, 2017-03)
Habitat modifications have led many bird species to occupy areas with different characteristics, including human-altered landscapes. In this study, we analyzed how land use influences the nest-site selection at the microscale ...
Locomotor performance of closely related Tropidurus species: relationships with physiological parameters and ecological divergence
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2004-03-01)
Tropidurid lizards have colonized a variety of Brazilian open environments without remarkable morphological variation, despite ecological and structural differences among habitats used. This study focuses on two Tropidurus ...
Geographic range, habitats, and host plants of bromeliad-living jumping spiders (Salticidae)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2014)
Integrated Ichnofacies models for deserts: Recurrent patterns and megatrends
(Elsevier Science, 2016-06)
Although it is commonly assumed that the trace-fossil record of eolian dunes and associated environments is invariably poor, a systematic review of the available information indicates that this is not necessarily the case. ...
A NEW SPECIES OF BIDENS (ASTERACEAE: COREOPSIDAE) FROM BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, MEXICO
(Instituto de Ecología, A.C., 2013)
Geographic range, habitats, and host plants of bromeliad-living jumping spiders (Salticidae)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006-07-01)
Although spiders are a very diverse group on vegetation, their associations with plants are poorly known. Some salticid species specifically use Bromeliaceae as host plants in some regions of South America. In this study, ...
Use of resources by the subterranean rodent Ctenomys mendocinus (Rodentia, Ctenomyidae), in the lowland Monte desert, Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010-04)
The feedback between organisms and their environment is of great relevance to the understanding of ecosystem functioning. Particularly, subterranean mammals living on desert systems play an important role in ecosystem ...
Landscape genetics in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys “chasiquensis” associated with highly disturbed habitats from the southeastern Pampas region, Argentina
(Springer, 2017-12-13)
Studies of genetic differentiation in fragmented environments help us to identify those landscape features that most affect gene flow and dispersal patterns. Particularly, the assessment of the relative significance of ...
