Biological differences between two allopatric populations of Amblyomma cajennense (Acari: Ixodidae) in Argentina
(Springer, 2011-04)
The fertility of hybrids from two distinct populations of Amblyomma cajennense from different ecological regions of Northern Argentina was analyzed. Two colonies of A. cajennense from El Rey National Park (RNP), Salta ...
Precision Medicine in the Renin Angiotensin System Therapeutic Targets and Biological Variability
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2020-07)
Abstract: Pathologies linked to the renin angiotensin system are frequent, and the drugs used in them are numerous and show great variability in therapeutic effects and adverse reactions. Genetic variants have been detected ...
Studies on the biology of Hypogeococcus pungens (sensu stricto) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in Argentina to aid the identification of the mealybug pest of cactaceae in Puerto Rico
(University of Arizona, 2016-06)
Hypogeococcus pungens Granara de Willink, sensu stricto, is a serious pest of cacti in Puerto Rico threating many Caribbean islands. A classical biological control program for H. pungens was initiated for Puerto Rico in ...
Re-establishment of an extinct local population of the Valcheta Frog, Pleurodema somuncurense, in a restored habitat in Patagonia, Argentina
(University of Cambridge, 2019-12)
In March 2017 and March 2018, we reintroduced 196 and 50 individuals Valcheta frogs Pleurodema somuncurense, respectively (tadpoles and juveniles). The individuals were translocated from an ex situ colony to a restored ...
Classical biological control of an invasive forest pest : a world perspective of the management of Sirex noctilio using the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae)
(2015-02)
Classical biological control is a key method for managing populations of pests in long-lived crops such as plantation forestry. The execution of biological control programmes in general, as the evaluation of potential ...
Demonstration using field collections that Argentina fall armyworm populations exhibit strain-specific host plant preferences
(Entomological Society of America, 2015-08)
Spodoptera frugiperda, the fall armyworm is a major economic pest throughout the Western Hemisphere of corn (maize), cotton, sorghum, and a variety of agricultural grasses and vegetable crops. Studies in the United States, ...
Parasites as indicators of fish population structure at two different geographical scales in contrasting coastal environments of the south-western Atlantic
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-11)
Fish parasites are widely used as biological tags of stocks and populations of their hosts at large spatial scales, but less frequently at small geographical scales. The application of this methodology at small scales ...
Evaluating the usefulness of natural tags for host population structure in chondrichthyans: parasite assemblages of Sympterygia bonapartii (Rajiformes: Arhynchobatidae) in the Southwestern Atlantic
(Elsevier Science, 2017-11)
The usefulness of parasite tags for population discrimination of elasmobranch hosts remains largely unexplored. In order to assess the existence of different populations of Sympterygia bonapartii in the Southwestern Atlantic ...
Can entomophagous nematodes slow the spread of invasive pest populations? The case study of Beddingia siricidicola released for the management of Sirex noctilio
(2014-12)
Though rarely used in this way, biological control could potentially be exploited for managing spread of invasive species. Because spread of invasive species emerges from the combined action of population growth and ...
Multiple-scale processes shape the population genetics of Tehuelche scallop, Aequipecten tehuelchus, in Northern Patagonia
(Elsevier Science, 2021-04-19)
The population genetic structure and oceanographic boundaries to gene flow are relevant for understanding biological connectivity in marine environments. However, the relative contribution of historical (e.g., sea-level ...
