Experimental field exclosure of birds and bats in agricultural systems — Methodological insights, potential improvements, and cost-benefit trade-offs
(ELSEVIER, 2019)
Experimental exclosure of birds and bats constitutes a powerful tool to study the impacts of wildlife on pests and crop yields in agricultural systems. Though widely utilized, exclosure experiments are not standardized ...
Effects of physical barriers and eradication on recolonization of rodents in poultry farms
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018-11)
Mus musculus, Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus are pests in poultry farms, causing economic losses and transmitting diseases. Control is commonly conducted through anticoagulant rodenticides, but this control is not ...
The use of nest protectors for the saffron-cowled blackbird Xanthopsar flavus in Argentina
(University of Cambridge, 2017-12)
Summary. A simple predator exclosure applied to saffron-cowled blackbird nests resulted in 69% fledging success compared to 36% for the controls.
Below-ground biomass and productivity of a grazed site and a neighbouring ungrazed exclosure in a grassland in central Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2004-04)
We estimated the below-ground net plant productivity (BNPP) of different biomass components in an intensively and continuously 45-ha grazed site and in a neighbouring exclosure ungrazed for 16 years for a natural mountain ...
Studying the quantity component of seed dispersal effectiveness from exclosure treatments and camera trapping
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-06)
The quantity component of effectiveness of seed dispersal by animals is determined by two events: fruit removal (intensity of the interaction) and animal visitation to the plant (frequency of interactions). Considering ...
Megaherbivore exclusion led to more complex seagrass canopies and increased biomass and sediment Corg pools in a tropical meadow
(2022)
In some regions of the Caribbean Sea, seagrasses have been negatively affected by sea turtle overgrazing. Seagrass canopy complexity has declined at a long-term monitoring site in Costa Rica. We deployed megaherbivore ...

Effectiveness of fencing and hunting to control Lama guanicoe browsing damage: Implications for Nothofagus pumilio regeneration in harvested forests
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-03)
Browsing damage by native ungulates is often to be considered one of the reasons of regeneration failure in Nothofagus pumilio silvicultural systems. Fencing and hunting in forests at regeneration phase have been proposed ...
