Environmental and genetic control of insect abundance and herbivory along a forest elevational gradient
(Springer, 2011-04)
Environmental conditions and plant genotype may influence insect herbivory along elevational gradients. Plant damage would decrease with elevation as temperature declines to suboptimal levels for insects. However, host ...
Leaf development dynamics of Parkinsonia aculeata L., Sp. Pl. under high temperature, drought and salinity conditions in Sonoran semi-desertDinámica del desarrollo foliar de Parkinsonia aculeata L., Sp. Pl. ante altas temperaturas, la sequía y la salinidad del semidesierto de Sonora

Freezing avoidance by supercooling in Olea europaea cultivars: The role of apoplastic water, solute content and cell wall rigidity
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-03)
Plants can avoid freezing damage by preventing extracellular ice formation below the equilibrium freezing temperature (supercooling). We used Olea europaea cultivars to assess which traits contribute to avoid ice nucleation ...
Leaf photosynthesis and senescence in heated and droughted field-grown soybean with contrasting seed protein concentration
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2021-09)
Soybean plants under heat and drought generate a multiplicity of responses in photosynthesis and senescence, impairing growth, yield, and seed quality. The goal of this study was to analyze and quantify independent and ...
Inter-Annual and Seasonal Variation of ANPP and Leaf Nutrient Concentration in Cold-Temperate Wetlands of Tierra del Fuego
(Springer, 2018-02)
We investigated the inter-annual and seasonal variation of the aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP), and leaf nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations across two different types of wet meadows (spring-fed and riparian) ...
Complex trait‒environment relationships underlie the structure of forest plant communities
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-08)
Traits differentially adapt plant species to particular conditions generating compositional shifts along environmental gradients. As a result, community-scale trait values show concomitant shifts, termed trait‒environment ...
Conidiobolus lunulus, a newly discovered entomophthoralean species, pathogenic and specific to leaf-cutter ants
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Conidiobolus lunulus is a recently described entomophthoralean species isolated from leaf-cutter ants. This fungus discharges not only primary but also secondary conidia and microconidia of different shapes. Because nothing ...
