Pathways of megaherbivore rewilding transitions: Typologies from an Andean gradient
(University of California Press, 2020-05)
In most of the planet, large herbivore communities have been replaced by livestock, but this process is reversing in many places. Here, we outline and review the pathways of "megaherbivore rewilding transitions"in three ...
Highlands in transition: Urbanization, pastoralism, mining, tourism, and wildlife in the Argentinian Puna
(Mountain Research & Development, 2018-11)
Land use change is a key component of regional environmental change. In mountain regions, where conditions for agriculture and human life are often difficult, land use trends are dominated by changes in the population's ...
Metagenomics Reveals Diet-Specific Specialization of Bacterial Communities in Fungus Gardens of Grass- and Dicot-Cutter Ants
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2020-09-24)
Leaf-cutter ants in the genusAttaare dominant herbivores in the Neotropics. While most species ofAttacut dicots to incorporate into their fungus gardens, some species specialize on grasses. Here we examine the bacterial ...
Rewilding of large herbivore communities in high elevation Puna: geographic segregation and no evidence of positive effects on peatland productivity
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020-12-18)
During the past decades, the Argentine Puna (a subtropical high elevation desert of c. 14 million hectares) has been going through a process of “rewilding” of large herbivore communities. In response to rural population ...
Searching for evidence against the mutualistic nature of hereditary symbioses: A comment on faeth
(University of Chicago Press, 2010)
Effects of biological legacies and herbivory on fuels and flammability traits: A long-term experimental study of alternative stable states
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-09)
Ecological memory, often determined by the extent and type of retained biological legacies present following disturbance, may produce persistent landscape patterns. However, after fire, the persistence or switch to an ...
Evolution of diet in extant marsupials: emergent patterns from a broad phylogenetic perspective
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10)
Extant marsupials are highly diverse, both morphologically and ecologically. As a key ecological factor, diet has been studied in marsupials at the species level. However, a general lack of phylogenetic integration has ...
Evolutionary History of the Hymenoptera
(Cell Press, 2017-04)
Hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants, and bees) are one of four mega-diverse insect orders, comprising more than 153,000 described and possibly up to one million undescribed extant species [1, 2]. As parasitoids, predators, ...
