Do shiny cowbird females adjust egg pecking behavior according to the level of competition their chicks face in host nests?
(Elsevier Science, 2012-02)
Interspecific brood parasites, like the shiny cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis), lay eggs in nests of other species. Shiny cowbird females peck and puncture eggs when they parasitize host nests. This behavior increases the ...
Remote sensing variables as predictors of habitat suitability of the vizcacha rat (Octomys mimax), a rock-dwelling mammal living in a desert environment
(Springer, 2015-04)
Identifying high-quality habitats across large areas is a central goal in biodiversity conservation. Remotely sensed data provide the opportunity to study different habitat characteristics (e.g., landscape topography, soil, ...
Scaling relative incentive value: Different adjustments to incentive downshift in pigeons and rats
(Elsevier Science, 2008-11)
Previous research suggests that pigeons and rats show differences in their behavioral adjustments in spaced-trial, incentive-downshift situations. Also, Papini and Pellegrini [Papini, M.R., Pellegrini, S., 2006. Scaling ...
Dos maneras de estabilizar la economía y sus consecuencias: los planes de ajuste de Perón y FrondiziTwo ways of stabilizing economy and its consequences: the plans for adjustment by Perón and Frondizi
(Instituto Argentino para el Desarrollo Económico, 2015-05)
El trabajo buscará desarrollar cómo llevaron adelante en situaciones de crisis similares sus planes de ajuste, tanto el gobierno de Perón en 1952 como el de Frondizi en 1959. En cada caso primero se describirá cómo funcionó ...
Job loss and household labor supply adjustments in developing countries: Evidence from Argentina
(Centro de Estudios Distributivos, Laborales y Sociales, 2020-12)
Using longitudinal data for Argentina, this paper measures the labor supply reaction of different household members to a breadwinner’s job loss. Firm events and local unemployment shocks are exploited as exogenous sources ...
Why do trees adjust water relations and hydraulic architecture in response to nutrient availability?
(Oxford University Press, 2013-03)
Studies on water relations, hydraulic architecture and effects of nutrients on growth in trees have been studied for many years in relative isolation. Only recently the functional relations of these groups of plant traits ...

The role of habituation in the adjustment to urban life: An experimental approach with burrowing owls
(Elsevier Science, 2018-12)
Birds exhibit variation in fear behaviour in response to an approaching human within and between species and across different habitat contexts. We analyze urban and rural burrowing owls’ variation in risk perception along ...
Energy management on battery/ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage system based on adjustable bandwidth filter and sliding-mode control
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-08)
A real-time power-split control strategy for a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) used in electric vehicles is proposed in this work. The HESS topology corresponds to a semi-active ultracapacitor (UC) configuration. The ...
