Invasion of Ligustrum lucidum (Oleaceae) in the southern Yungas: Changes in habitat properties and decline in bird diversity
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
Ligustrum lucidum is the major exotic tree in NW Argentina montane forests (Yungas). To assess the effects of its expanding invasion on avian communities we (1) measured different habitat properties (vertical forest structure ...
Fruits of the glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum—Oleaceae) as biocatalysts for producing chiral aromatic alcohols
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014-12)
The screening of four invasive plant species for use as biocatalysts in the stereoselective reduction of ketones is reported. Our studies revealed that fruits of Ligustrum lucidum can be used for the bioreduction of ...
Studies on diversity of foliar fungal endophytes of naturalised trees from Argentina, with a description of Haplotrichum minutissimum sp. nov
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2008-10)
An ecological investigation of foliar endophytic fungal communities on Broussonetia papyrifera, Celtis occidentalis and Ligustrum lucidum was carried out in the natural reserve Dr. Carlos Spegazzini, Buenos Aires, Argentina. ...
The effect of plant diversity on fungus garden development and foraging behavior of leaf-cutting ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(2003-08-18)
The leaf-cutting ants forage a wide variety of plant species, used for symbiotic fungus cultivation. To better understand this tripartite complex interaction, 24 colonies of Acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus were conditioned ...
Alimentary preconditioning in Acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus workers
(2003-05-19)
Ants suffer a strong environmental influence and are sometimes conditioned for many social activities. To understand better this phenomenon in leaf-cutting ants, 24 colonies of Acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus (Hymenoptera: ...
Facilitation and interference underlying the association between the woody invaders Pyracantha angustifolia and Ligustrum lucidum
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2007-08)
Questions: 1. Is there any post-dispersal positive effect of the exotic shrub Pyracantha angustifolia on the success of Ligustrum lucidum seedlings, as compared to the effect of the native Condalia montana or the open ...

En la sierra de San Javier (Tucumán, Argentina) se presentan bosques secundarios nativos e invadidos, estos últimos dominados por Ligustrum lucidum, que afecta la biodiversidad nativa. Analizamos la influencia del bosque ...
The role of bioclimatic features, landscape configuration and historical land use in the invasion of an Asian tree in subtropical Argentina
(Springer, 2017-11)
Context: Knowing which factors determine the spread of plant invaders is a relevant issue in global ecology. Cultural landscapes both influence and are affected by exotic species. Although bioclimatic boundaries, seed ...
