Pollination in socio-agroecosystems: Recommendations to preserve the diversity of pollinators
(The Society of Plan Reproductive Biologists, 2020-01)
Pollinators play a crucial role in human well-being, as they contribute to pollination of many crops and influence plant reproduction and biodiversity conservation of native plants. There is a gradual disappearance of major ...
Composition of Amphibian Assemblages in Agroecosystems from the Central Region of Argentina
(Folium Publishing Company, 2011-04)
The anuran diversity, abundance, richness and evenness were examined in agroecosystems from the central region of Argentina, area that was greatly altered by agricultural activities. Relationships with climatic characteristics ...
Hematological parameters of health status in the common toad Bufo arenarum in agroecosystems of Santa Fe Province, Argentina
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2005-12)
We compared some hematological parameters and values of plasma cholinesterase activity in adult Bufo arenarum from a control site and agricultural sites. The mean values of the plasma cholinesterase activity did not vary ...
Genetic structure of populations of the Pampean grassland mouse, Akodon azarae, in an agroecosystem under intensive management
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2019-09)
Agroecosystems in central Argentina are a good example of landscape modification by human activities. We used the Pampean grassland mouse (Akodon azarae) as a biological model to assess the effects of landscape fragmentation ...
Community structure of soil nematodes associated with the rhizosphere of solanum lycopersicum in a major production area in Argentina: a case study among agroecosystem types
(Springer, 2019-10)
The objective of this work was to describe the status of the assemblages of soil nematodes associated with tomato crops, in a major tomato production area in Argentina, by studying ecological indices of nematode food web ...
Identifying the factors that determine ecosystem services provision in Pampean agroecosystems (Argentina) using a data-mining approach
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
Ecosystem services (ES) have become a key concept in the assessment of natural resources, as a way to connect human well-being and ecosystems degradation. However, ES quantification is considered a basic problem because ...
Trombiculid mites (Hannemania sp.) in leptodactylus chaquensis (Amphibia: Anura) inhabiting selected soybean and rice agroecosystems of argentina
(American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 2012-06)
Trombiculid mites are known to parasitize a variety of amphibian species; however, few comparisons of mite parasitism among sites have been made. Here, Hannemania sp. parasitism in frogs (Leptodactylus chaquensis) inhabiting ...
Reproductive endpoints of Rhinella arenarum (Anura, Bufonidae): Populations that persist in agroecosystems and their use for the environmental health assessment
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-06-15)
Degradation of the environment by agriculture affects the persistence and health of the amphibian populations. Characteristics related to reproduction of anuran can be used to evaluate the status of populations and as ...
Adverse effect of agroecosystem pond water on biological endpoints of common toad (Rhinella arenarum) tadpoles
(Springer, 2016-08)
Chemical prroducts used in farming and wastes from livestock can contaminate pond water in agroecosystems due to runoff. Amphibians using these ponds for breeding are probably exposed to pollutants, and serious consequences ...
Evaluation in situ of genotoxic and cytotoxic response in the diploid/polyploid complex Odontophrynus (Anura: Odontophrynidae) inhabiting agroecosystems
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-02)
Polyploidization has been documented across a wide range of vertebrates. Gene duplication could promote better adaptation to environmental changes and to chronic injury or stress. We investigated if genotoxic and cytotoxic ...
