Spermatogenic and Testosterone Cycles in a Desert-Adapted Amphibian Odontophrynus barrioi from the Monte Desert, Argentina
(Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, 2018-03)
Few studies have characterized the reproductive cycles of desert anurans, particularly species from South America. This has hampered efforts to identify broad patterns in anuran reproduction, which are known to vary both ...
Abundance and diversity of small-bird assemblages in the Monte desert, Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2005-12)
Assemblages of small bird species (o90 gbody mass) from the Monte desert in Argentinawere studied to analyze spatial and temporal variation in abundance and species richness.Mean species richness was higher during breeding ...
Characterization and selection of microhabitat by Microcavia australis (Rodentia: Caviidae): first data in a rocky habitat in the Hyperarid Monte Desert of Argentina
(de Gruyter, 2014-12)
A rocky habitat, in its broadest sense, may be described as any locality that contains boulders, rocks, scree, pebbles, outcrops, cliffs, or caves. In these habitats, mammals find shelter sites that they use as nesting ...
Ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the three forests of the ischigualasto provincial park, a protected area of the monte desert, Argentina
(Society for Indonesian Biodiversity, 2018-05)
Deforestation and over-grazing mediated by the humans have caused a serious process of desertification in the Argentine Monte Desert, which threats biodiversity of this ecosystem. Forests provide important resources and ...
Biological interactions at different spatial scales in the Monte desert of Argentina.
(2009)
In this review, we compiled published results on biological interactions at different spatial scales in the Monte desert of Argentina and identified gaps in current knowledge. We presented evidence of competitive and ...
Scaling coexistence and assemblage patterns of desert small mammals
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2013-09)
Scaling biodiversity patterns has been recognized lately as a very important issue in the search of global processes; however coexistence and assemblage patterns are typically approached at a single spatial scale. Here, ...
Differential use of vertical space by small mammals in the Monte Desert, Argentina
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2011-12)
Space use in deserts usually has been considered only along the horizontal dimension; however, vertical structure could be an important variable for habitat segregation among small mammal species. Our study assessed the ...
Biogeography of the Monte Desert
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-02)
The Monte is a biogeographic province covers an extensive area from the subtropical northern part of Argentina at 24 degrees south, to the temperate northern region of Patagonia at 44 degrees south. Within the province, ...
Quaternary range and demographic expansion of Liolaemus darwinii (Squamata: Liolaemidae) in the Monte Desert of Central Argentina using Bayesian phylogeography and ecological niche modelling
(Wiley, 2013-06-20)
Until recently, most phylogeographic approaches have been unable to distinguís between demographic and range expansion processes, making it difficult to test for the possibility of range expansion without population growth ...
