Negative effects of urbanization on terrestrial arthropod communities: A meta‐analysis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-08)
Urbanization is one of the most significant anthropogenic alterations of the surface of the Earth and constitutes a major threat to biodiversity at the global level. Arthropods are a very diverse group of organisms, with ...
Arthropod fauna of winter wheat of southwest Buenos Aires province, Argentina
(GAZI University, 2014-01)
Agroecosystems are populated by a great diversity and number of invertebrates that are often disturbed by agricultural practices and grazing. The arthropods are good indicators of the heterogeneity of the habitat, the ...
A Fine-Scale Hotspot at the Edge: Epigean Arthropods from the Atacama Coast (Paposo-Taltal, Antofagasta Region, Chile)
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2021-10)
The Atacama Desert at its margins harbors a unique biodiversity that is still very poorly known, especially in coastal fog oases spanning from Perú towards the Atacama coast. An outstand-ing species-rich fog oasis is the ...
Towards the design of biodiverse green roofs in Argentina: Assessing key elements for different functional groups of arthropods
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-06)
Green roofs offer numerous environmental benefits, and thus their implementation is considered an initiative to create sustainable cities. However, the characteristics of green roofs that could enhance arthropod biodiversity ...
Weed and arthropod communities in soyabean as related to crop productivity and land use in the Rolling Pampa, Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-12)
Summary: In the Rolling Pampa, Argentina, changes in crop management caused changes in weed and arthropod communities and reductions in weed diversity in soyabean. Loss of landscape heterogeneity, caused by an increase in ...
Fungal-arthropod-plant interactions from the Jurassic petrified forest Monumento Natural Bosques Petrificados, Patagonia, Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2012-04)
Fungal-arthropod-plant interactions are described from the Middle Jurassic Monumento Natural Bosques Petrificados, Santa Cruz, Patagonia, Argentina. Fossils consist of a silicified araucarian log that appears differentially ...
Seasonal patterns of benthic arthropods in a subtropical Andean basin
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2009-05)
We studied the seasonal variation of arthropod assemblages and the response to high discharge events in a subtropical Andean basin. Using abundance of common taxa and taxon richness of each sampled site, we examined the ...
Non-native ungulates indirectly impact foliar arthropods but not soil function
(Springer, 2019-10)
One of the greatest challenges in contemporary ecology is to understand how the homogenization of biodiversity at all levels of organization and spatial scales will influence the assembly of communities and the functioning ...
Structure of ground-dwelling arthropod assemblages in vegetation units of Área Natural Protegida Península Valdés, Patagonia, Argentina
(Springer, 2018-04)
Knowing the spatial variation of insect and arachnid assemblages and their relationship with habitat variables is critical to understand the structure and dynamics of these communities in arid environments. The aim of this ...
Changes of arthropod diversity across an altitudinal ecoregional zonation in Northwestern Argentina
(PeerJ Inc., 2017-11)
This study examined arthropod community patterns over an altitudinal ecoregional zonation that extended through three ecoregions (Yungas, Monte de Sierras y Bolsones, and Puna) and two ecotones (Yungas-Monte and Prepuna) ...
