Loss of Genetic Variability Induced by Agroecosystems: Chrysoperla externa (Hagen) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) as a Case Study
(2013-02-07)
Four species of green lacewings occur in Brazil, of which Chrysoperla externa (Hagen) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) exhibits the widest geographical distribution. Chrysoperla externa is a predatory insect that is potentially ...
Ecosystem services provided by agroecosystems: A qualitative and quantitative assessment of this relationship in the Pampa region, Argentina
(Springer, 2014-12-10)
The development of an analytical framework relating agricultural conditions and ecosystem services (ES) provision could be very useful for developing land-use systems which sustain natural resources for future use. According ...
Identifying the factors that determine ecosystem services provision in Pampean agroecosystems (Argentina) using a data-mining approach
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
Ecosystem services (ES) have become a key concept in the assessment of natural resources, as a way to connect human well-being and ecosystems degradation. However, ES quantification is considered a basic problem because ...
Trombiculid mites (Hannemania sp.) in leptodactylus chaquensis (Amphibia: Anura) inhabiting selected soybean and rice agroecosystems of argentina
(American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 2012-06)
Trombiculid mites are known to parasitize a variety of amphibian species; however, few comparisons of mite parasitism among sites have been made. Here, Hannemania sp. parasitism in frogs (Leptodactylus chaquensis) inhabiting ...
Reproductive endpoints of Rhinella arenarum (Anura, Bufonidae): Populations that persist in agroecosystems and their use for the environmental health assessment
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-06-15)
Degradation of the environment by agriculture affects the persistence and health of the amphibian populations. Characteristics related to reproduction of anuran can be used to evaluate the status of populations and as ...
Adverse effect of agroecosystem pond water on biological endpoints of common toad (Rhinella arenarum) tadpoles
(Springer, 2016-08)
Chemical prroducts used in farming and wastes from livestock can contaminate pond water in agroecosystems due to runoff. Amphibians using these ponds for breeding are probably exposed to pollutants, and serious consequences ...
Use of plants by Myzus persicae in agroecosystems: Potential applications in conservation biological control
(Wiley, 2021-04)
Myzus persicae (Sulzer) is a highly polyphagous aphid species that attacks several economically important crop plants. Here, trophic webs involving M. persicae, its host plants and its parasitoids were described and ...
Rolling Pampas agroecosystem: which landscape attributes are relevant for determining bird distributions?
(Springer, 2014-12)
Background: Agricultural intensification is among the main factors affecting biodiversity. The Rolling Pampas of Argentina have undergone through a process of landscape transformation and agricultural intensification that ...
