Disassembled food webs and messy projections: modern ungulate communities in the face of unabating human population growth
(MDPI, 2020)
The human population grows inexorably. When Charles Darwin explored the southern cone of South America in 1830, fewer than 1.2 billion people inhabited Earth. When Ehrlich'sPopulation Bombappeared in 1968, there were similar ...
Consequences of adaptive behaviour for the structure and dynamics of food webs
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010-09-13)
Species coexistence within ecosystems and the stability of patterns of temporal changes
in population sizes are central topics in ecological theory. In the last decade, adaptive
behaviour has been proposed as a mechanism ...
Primary care consultation liaison and the rate of psychiatric hospitalizations: a countrywide study in Chile
(Organización Panamericana de la Salud, 2018)
Objectives. To assess the quality of consultation liaison across all primary health care centers
in Chile, and its potential relationship with the psychiatric hospitalization rate.
Methods. We carried out a countrywide ...
Shared and unique features of bacterial communities in native forest and vineyard phyllosphere
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
Phyllosphere bacteria have received little attention despite their important roles in shaping plant performance traits. In this study, we characterize the bacterial communities on leaves of native trees inhabiting ...
Macroinvertebrate community structure in an extreme altiplanic environment from Chile: The Ascot an salt pan
(Elsevier, 2020)
The Ascot an salt pan is an extreme freshwater system in the Southern Altiplano of Chile (17 -22 S). Its origin has been traced to the presence of the paleolake Minchin approximately 0.0117 Ma. Currently, this system has ...
Evolutionary diversity in tropical tree communities peaks at intermediate precipitation
(Nature, 2020)
Global patterns of species and evolutionary diversity in plants are primarily determined by a temperature gradient, but precipitation gradients may be more important within the tropics, where plant species richness is ...
El investigador social frente a la planificación turística basada en la comunidad: un balance desde la literatura académica
(Facultad de Administración de Empresas Turísticas y Hoteleras, 2021-01-01)
La comunidad representa hoy en día un eje central en la literatura académica de la planificación y gestión turística, resultado de más de cinco décadas de estudios que demuestran el rol posible y necesario de la comunidad ...
Endemicity and evolutionary value: a study of Chilean endemic vascular plant genera
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014)
This study uses phylogeny-based measures of evolutionary potential (phylogenetic
diversity and community structure) to evaluate the evolutionary value of
vascular plant genera endemic to Chile. Endemicity is regarded as ...
Dietary and digestive constraints on basal energy metabolism in a small herbivorous rodent
(1993)
McNab (1986, 1988) has hypothesized that mammals using food with low
energy content should exhibit basal metabolic rates (BMR) lower than those expected on the basis of their body mass (mb). That is, those species that ...
Integrating the study of non-native plant invasions across spatial scales
(SPRINGER, 2006-04)
Non-native (alien, exotic) plant invasions are affecting ecological processes and threatening biodiversity worldwide. Patterns of plant invasions, and the ecological processes which generate these patterns, vary across ...
