Evaluation of Antihyperglycemia and Antihypertension Potential of Native Peruvian Fruits Using In Vitro Models
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2009)
Local food diversity and traditional crops are essential for cost-effective management of the global epidemic of type 2 diabetes and associated complications of hypertension. Water and 12% ethanol extracts of native Peruvian ...
Isolation of Pseudobutyrivibrio ruminis and Pseudobutyrivibrio xylanivorans from rumen of Creole goats fed native forage diet
(Springer, 2012-12)
We isolated and identified functional groups of bacteria in the rumen of Creole goats involved in ruminal fermentation of native forage shrubs. The functional bacterial groups were evaluated by comparing the total viable, ...
Barn Swallows keep expanding their breeding range in South America
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-02)
Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica) breeding in North America traditionally wintered in South America. In the1980s a small breeding population was found in coastal Argentina and since then the breeding range of Barn Swallows ...
Nesting ecology of sympatric species of wool carder bees (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Anthidium) in South America
(International Bee Research Association, 2017-09)
Using a total of 14,043 trap-nests (potential nest for bees), we documented the nest architecture, host plants, seasonality,and associated organisms of the following six native species of Anthidium (Megachilidae: Anthidiini) ...

Configuration and geometry of sap holes drilled by the White-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes cactorum): effects of tree structure, sap traits and plant health
(Csiro Publishing, 2015)
Several species of woodpecker drill holes in living trees to feed on flows of sap. We describe sap-holes drilled by the White-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes cactorum) on plant species in semi-arid woodlands of northern ...
Ameliorative effects of nurse shrubs on soil chemical characteristics are driven by plant size in the Monte desert
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-08)
In deserts, shrubs determine landscape structure and influence plant productivity by creating nutrient-enriched environments. Attributes vary among shrub species, thus their contribution to soil characteristics is expected ...
An assessor-specific Bayesian multi-threshold mixed model for analyzing ordered categorical traits in tree breeding
(Springer Heidelberg, 2013-12)
Many traits of biological interest in tree breeding are assessed using more than two ordered discrete categories. These scores have a more or less arbitrary and subjective assignment by the assessors, which could lead to ...
Diet and oral health of populations that inhabited central Argentina (Córdoba Province) during late holocene
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2015-03)
The aim of this work is to study, from a bioarchaeological perspective, the diet and oral health of the populations that inhabited Central Argentina in two periods which would reflect changes in subsistence strategies: ...
