Plant Knowledge in Children Who Inhabit Diverse Socio-Ecological Environments in Northwestern Patagonia
(Society of Ethnobiology, 2017-03)
In this study, we analyzed plant knowledge in children living in three environments of northwestern Patagonia. Given the differential socio-ecological circumstances of children's lifestyles that condition their daily ...
Restoring pollination is not only about pollinators: Combining ecological and practical information to identify priority plant species for restoration of the Pampa grasslands of Argentina
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-06)
Restoration of plant-pollinator interaction has emerged as a critical issue in the maintenance of resilient and healthy ecosystems. However, some challenges remain, such as integrating ecological and practical information ...
Urban Ethnobotany in Argentina: Theoretical advances and methodological strategies
(Ethnobiology and Conservation, 2014-06)
Urban Ethnobotany is a discipline of relatively recent development, allowing new questions and interesting challenges from both theoretical and methodological point of view. This has become evident from the development of ...
Exotic plants get a little help from their friends. Interactions with herbivores and microbes link exotic-plant success with carbon cycling
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020-05)
Terrestrial ecologists have identified multifaceted controls—climate, biogeography, disturbances, and their interactions—that shape how plant communities in natural ecosystems organize in space and time. Multiple documented ...
Criteria to select vegetal species for restoration of plant-pollinator interactions in agricultural landscapes of the Pampa grassland (Argentina)
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2021-08)
Ecological functions, including pollination services, can be successfully restored in degraded ecosystems. In this study we propose a procedure for selection of target species to be employed in the restoration of ...
Ecological role of a flower-dwelling predator in a tri-trophic interaction in northwestern Patagonia
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-01)
Flower-dwelling predators may play several ecological roles depending on their effects on the reproductive success of the plants that they use to forage. However, tri-trophic interactions often are context-dependent ...
A twelve-month field study of the West African Thrush Turdus pelios (Passeriformes:Muscicapidae).Part 1:food and feeding ecology
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2004)
Plant–plant interactions promote alpine diversification
(Springer, 2019-04)
Plant–plant interactions can promote diversification in harsh environments through (1) natural selection producing divergent adaptations to extreme and varying abiotic conditions in plants that grow in the open, or (2) ...
Identifying plant mixes for multiple ecosystem service provision in agricultural systems using ecological networks
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-09)
Managing agricultural environments in a way that maximises the provision of multiple ecosystem services is a significant challenge in the development of sustainable and secure food systems. Advances in network ecology ...
