The objective of the work reported here was to determine the acute toxicity of chlorpyrifos—the most commonly used pesticide in Argentina—to the amphipod Hyalella curvispina, with that species being widely distributed in ...

Aim It has been suggested that predicting species distributions requires a processbased and preferably dynamic approach. If dynamic models are to contribute towards understanding species distributions, uncertainties ...

Species distribution models (SDMs) are statistical tools used to develop continuous predictions of species occurrence. 'Integrated SDMs' (ISDMs) are an elaboration of this approach with potential advantages that allow for ...

Parabens are chemical compounds widely used that act as preservatives. Liquid-liquid extraction could be considered an efficient technique, as does not need special devices and is economically viable. Thus, the present ...

Living organisms have different sensitivities to toxicants. This variability can be represented by constructing a species sensitivity distribution(SSD) curve, where by the toxicity of a substance to a group of species is ...

One of the fundamental goals in macroecology is to understand the relationship among species’ geographic ranges, ecophysiology, and climate; however, the mechanisms underlying the distributional geographic patterns observed ...

What attributes make species more or less invasive?. This basic question has oriented most of invasion ecology research and a set of diverse attributes have been proposed as predictors. Species distribution models (SDMs) ...
