Adjustment of the reproductive activity of vulnerable lizard phymaturus williamsi at high altitudes
(Herpetological Conservation and Biology, 2018-04-30)
In environments with cold climates, reproduction of lizards is restricted to short seasonal periods of activity, from mid-spring to early autumn. We studied the reproductive biology of Phymaturus williamsi (William’s Andean ...
Transcript and metabolic adjustments triggered by drought in Ilex paraguariensis leaves
(Springer, 2019-05-04)
Ilex paraguariensis (yerba mate) is cultivated in the subtropical region of South America, where the occurrence of drought episodes limit yield. To explore the mechanisms that allow I. paraguariensis to overcome dehydration, ...
Females of a blood-sucking bug may adjust their mating decisions according to the risk of ovipositing infertile eggs
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-12)
Females should adjust their mating preferences when the costs of being selective vary. Here, we focus on the cost of laying unfertilized eggs. Oviparous species lose their fertilizable oocytes if remain virgin for too long. ...
Subtle precipitation differences yield adaptive adjustments in the mesic Nothofagus dombeyi
(Elsevier Science, 2020-04)
Climate change is impacting on natural systems and forests worldwide have suffered from massive mortality due to extreme droughts. That is the case of mesic Nothofagus dombeyi forests of northern Patagonia, whereas no ...
Dominance hierarchies and social status ascent opportunity: Anticipatory behavioral and physiological adjustments in a Neotropical cichlid fish
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-07)
In this work we characterized the social hierarchy of non-reproductive individuals of Cichlasoma dimerus (Heckel, 1840), independently for both sexes, and its relationship to the opportunity for social status ascent. Female ...
Trade liberalization and informality in Argentina: exploring the adjustment mechanisms
(Springer, 2018-12)
This paper studies the link between trade reforms and labor informality in Argentina using a long time series spanning the 1980–2001 period. We explore cross-section mechanisms, that operate at the industry level, and ...
Comorbidity adjusted news predicts mortality in suspected patients with COVID-19 from nursing homes: multicentre retrospective cohort study
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2022-06)
Aims: To assess the prognostic accuracy of comorbidity-adjusted National Early Warning Score in suspected Coronavirus disease 2019 patients transferred from nursing homes by the Emergency Department. Design: Multicentre ...
Drainage and base-level adjustments during evolution of a late Pleistocene piggyback basin, Eastern Cordillera, central andes of northwestern Argentina
(Geological Society of America, 2012-12)
In northwestern Argentina, mid-Pleistocene out-of-sequence thrusting further disrupted the Andean foreland, giving rise to the Lerma piggyback basin within the Eastern Cordillera. Emergent topography along the eastern edge ...
Developmental adjustments of house sparrow (Passer domesticus) nestlings to diet composition
(Company of Biologists, 2009-05)
House sparrow nestlings are fed primarily on insects during the first 3 days of their life, and seeds become gradually more important afterwards. We tested whether developmental changes in size and functional capacity of ...
