Changes to anuran diversity following forest replacement by tree plantations in the southern Atlantic forest of Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2018-09)
The replacement of native forests by high-density tree plantations affects the richness and composition of animal communities through the modification of the resource availability, hydrological regimes, nutrient cycles and ...
Disentangling the multiple components of anuran diversity associated to different land-uses in Yungas forests, Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-10)
Natural habitats have drastically regressed due to rapid changes in land-use during recent decades, generating a decrease in species diversity. In light of natural habitat destruction worldwide, there is a need to adopt ...
Native anurans threatened by the alien tree Ligustrum lucidum in a seasonal subtropical forest
(Springer, 2021-08)
Amphibians and anurans in particular are declining globally from diverse and complex causes, with one of the most prevalent being alien species invasion. Alien woody invaders, such as the evergreen Ligustrum lucidum, are ...
Tolerant and avoiders in an urban landscape: anuran species richness and functional groups responses in the Yungas’ forest of NW Argentina
(Springer, 2021-02)
Urbanization is one of the most important causes of ecological changes and biodiversity loss worldwide, and forests in Latin America provide valuable scenarios to understand the ecological effects of this human-driven ...
Trophic ecology of syntopic anuran larvae, Rhinella arenarum (Anura: Bufonidae) and Hypsiboas cordobae (Anura: Hylidae): Its relation to the structure of periphyton
(EDP Sciences, 2015-09)
The grazing of amphibian tadpoles has a significant effect on structure and function of freshwater algal communities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the composition of the diet, the amplitude and degree of overlap ...
Functional traits reveal environmental constraints on amphibian community assembly in a subtropical dry forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-09)
The relationships between functional traits and environmental gradients are useful to identify different community assembly processes. In this work, we used an approach based on functional traits to analyse if changes in ...
Anuran responses to spatial patterns of agricultural landscapes in Argentina
(2016-12)
Context: Amphibians are declining worldwide and land use change to agriculture is recognized as a leading cause. Argentina is undergoing an agriculturalization process with rapid changes in landscape structure.
Objectives: ...
