Invasive predator control program in Austral Patagonia for endangered bird conservation
(Springer, 2016-10)
In 2011, the invasive American mink Neovison vison became the most acute threat to the globally critically endangered Hooded Grebe Podiceps gallardoi (global population <800 individuals) when mink killed over 4 % of their ...
Nuevos guardianes. Perros protectores y luces anti-depredación
(Universidad Nacional del Comahue, 2016)
Los carnívoros provocan daños económicos importantes cuando en sus dietas incorporan a los herbívoros domésticos. El conflicto carnívoro-humano plantea un desafío urgente en todo el mundo debido a que los distintos abordajes ...
Human-carnivore interaction in a context of socio-productive crisis: Assessing smallholder strategies for reducing predation in North-west Patagonia, Argentina
(2018)
Mitigating carnivore-livestock interaction is essential to ensuring the persistence of carnivores in landscapes
dominated by livestock activity. Our aim was to explore, in the context of social and productive crises ...
The interplay between propagule pressure, seed predation and ectomycorrhizal fungi in plant invasion
(Pensoft Publishers, 2019-02)
There are many hypotheses aiming to explain invasion success, but evaluating individual hypotheses in isolation may hinder our ability to understand why some species invade and others fail. Here we evaluate the interaction ...
Top predator fish assemblages in Northern Patagonia, Argentina. What factors regulate their patterns of distribution and abundance?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-09-23)
According to assemblage theory, three factors regulate fish biogeography: restriction of dispersion, environmental restrictions and biotic interactions. The first two factors act on a regional scale and delimit the area ...
Predator–prey interactions in anurans of the tropical dry forests of the Colombian Caribbean: A functional approach
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
Anuran–prey selection might be mediated by traits, either by mismatches in predator and prey traits (preventing interactions) or by predator selection of prey traits (encouraging interactions). These effect traits could ...
Ground nesting birds in roadside borders of the Argentine Pampas: habitat use and predation risk of artificial nests
(Sociedade Brasileira de Ornitologia, 2019-12)
Habitat loss and fragmentation have led to grassland bird declines, with ground nesters particularly vulnerable. Roadsides could provide habitat, although their suitability depends on several roadside and field characteristics. ...
Arthropod diversity and ecological processes on green roofs in a semi-rural area of Argentina: Similarity to neighbor ground habitats and landscape effects
(Elsevier Science, 2020-07)
Green roofs could mitigate the negative effects of urbanization by providing habitats for arthropods. However, more studies are necessary to understand if these new ecosystems can harbor similar numbers of species and ...
