Temperature and water availability effects on radiation and water use efficiencies in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)
(Csiro Publishing, 2005-12)
Alfalfa, the most important forage crop in Argentina, shows considerable variability in forage production caused by variations in inter-annual rainfall and intra-annual radiation and temperature regimes. Such variation may ...
Effect of nutritional state and dispersal on the reproductive efficiency in Triatoma infestans (Klug, 1834) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) susceptible and resistant to deltamethrin
(Elsevier Science, 2019-03)
The dispersal of insects is determinant in the colonization of new areas and the propagation of insecticide resistance. Nutritional status and reproductive characteristics determine the colonization capacity after the ...
Dislodgement effect of natural semiochemicals released by disturbed triatomines: a possible alternative monitoring tool
(Soc Vector Ecology, 2013-08)
The quick detection of domestic and peridomestic triatomines in their environments becomes difficult without the use of dislodgement substances that flush them out from their shelters. At present, tetramethrin 0.2% is being ...
Physiological responses and post-stress recovery in field-grown maize exposed to high temperatures at flowering
(Southern Cross Publishing, 2019-12)
Heat stress affects physiological traits and biomass production in major crops, including maize. We researched the responses of maximum efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), relative cell injury (RCI), stomatal conductance ...
Differential responses in spider oviposition on crop-edge gradients in agroecosystems with different management
(Elsevier Science, 2021-12-01)
Semi-natural habitats in agricultural landscapes offer reproduction and feeding sites for natural predators of pests. Spiders are among the most abundant and diverse generalist predators and can efficiently suppress pest ...
Predicting forest management effects on oak–rodent mutualisms
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-10-30)
Wood mice Apodemus sylvaticus are the main dispersers of acorns in highly managed Mediterranean holm-oak woodlands. Mice mobilize and cache acorns to store them for winter consumption. They carry acorns away from potential ...
Thermal physiology of three sympatric and syntopic Liolaemidae lizards in cold and arid environments of Patagonia (Argentina)
(Springer Heidelberg, 2018-01)
The thermal physiology determines the whole biology of ectotherm organisms, by limiting their acquisition and allocation of resources. Herein, we aim to add knowledge on how different species use the thermal resources when ...
Postnatal development of subterranean habits in tuco-tucos Ctenomys talarum (Rodentia, Caviomorpha, Ctenomyidae)
(Springer Tokyo, 2015-12)
Postnatal development of subterranean habits was investigated in Los Talas’ tuco-tuco Ctenomys talarum, a subterranean caviomorph rodent endemic from South America. Since in this species, some key morpho-functional traits ...
Complete re-utilization of waste concretes: Valorisation pathways and research needs
(Elsevier Science, 2022-02)
Global demand for buildings and infrastructure is extremely high as provision of shelter, sanitation and healthcare are paramount to safeguard the world's growing population. Concrete is a preferred construction material ...
Plasticity in extended phenotypes: How the antlion Myrmeleon crudelis adjusts the pit traps depending on biotic and abiotic conditions
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2019-12)
The physical structures built by animals are considered extended phenotypes that reflect how organisms make decisions and deal with changes in their biotic and abiotic environment. We summarize the results of several studies ...
