This is a short text about a lecture I gave during the XV Congress of the Argentinian Society of Plant Physiology, in Mar del Plata, in September 2014. In this Opinion, I show some scientometrics of science and plant science ...

Locomotor capacity is often considered an excellent measure of whole animal performance because it requires the integrated functioning of many morphological, physiological (and biochemical) traits. However, because studies ...

Welfare of working horses is a matter of public concern, with scarce information on their possible physiological coping mechanisms. The aim of this study was to assess changes in possible physiological welfare indicators ...

High-altitude (HA) natives show distinctive physical and functional characteristics that give them an advantage over lowlanders at HA.

Studies on the effects of inorganic nutrients manipulation (specially nitrogen and phosphorus) in freshwater macroalgae are scarce. Physiological responses (growth, photosynthesis, and pigment contents) to nitrogen and ...

We characterize the flexibility in digestive performance in degus (Octodon degus) an herbivorous rodent. We tested the hypothesis that dietary and physiological-digestive flexibility are correlated. Degus were fed with ...

The intensive management of tree plantations has replaced and fragmented native forests worldwide. A direct consequence of this activity is the creation of new edges, which generate changes in microclimatic conditions in ...

What are the consequences of the natural variation in maternal body mass on offspring energetic performance? How are performance traits related to thermal physiology and energetics phenotypically integrated on offspring? ...
