Invasive African clawed frog Xenopus laevis in southern South America: key factors and predictions
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
The African clawed frog Xenopus laevis is one of the most widely distributed amphibians in the world. It has
invaded an area of approximately 21,200 km2 since its naturalization in Chile in the early 1980s. Currently, ...
Filling phylogenetic gaps and the biogeographic relationships of the Octodontidae (Mammalia: Hystricognathi)
(Academic Press-Elsevier, 2016)
Endemic to South America, octodontid rodents are remarkable by being the only mammal taxa where allotetraploidy has been documented. The taxon's extensive morpho-physiological radiation associated to niche shifts has allowed ...
Succinct Trees in Practice
(2010)
We implement and compare the major current techniques for
representing general trees in succinct form. This is important
because a general tree of n nodes is usually represented
in pointer form, requiring O(n log n) ...
Effects of exotic fish farms on bird communities in lake and marine ecosystems
(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2013)
Salmon farming is a widespread activity around the
world, also known to promote diverse environmental effects
on aquatic ecosystems. However, information regarding the
impact of salmon farming on bird assemblages is ...
Biogeographic anomalies in the species richness of Chilean forests: Incorporating evolution into a climatic – historic scenario
(Ecological Society of Australia, 2013)
Broad-scale richness gradients are closely associated with temperature and water availability. However,
historical and evolutionary processes have also contributed to shape current diversity patterns. In this paper we
focus ...
Contrasting Propagation of Natural Calls of Two Anuran Species from the South American Temperate Forest
(Public Library Science, 2015)
The acoustic adaptation hypothesis predicts that sound communication signals have an optimal relationship with animals' native environments. However, species sharing a habitat produce signals stratified in the spectral ...
Influential journals in health research: a bibliometric study
(Biomed Central, 2016)
Background: There is a wide range of intellectual work written about health research, which has been shaped by the evolution of diseases. This study aims to identify the leading journals over the last 25 years (1990-2014) ...
hiPSC derived neural stem cells from patients with schizophrenia induce an impaired angiogenesis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disease characterized by cerebral connectivity impairment and loss of gray matter. It was described in adult schizophrenia patients (SZP) that concentration of VEGFA, a master angiogenic ...
Environmental conditions shape soil bacterial community structure in a fragmented landscape
(Elsevier, 2016)
Several biogeographical hypotheses have been proposed to explain microbial distribution, but there is ongoing debate about the magnitude of the contribution of niche based processes and historical contingencies in determining ...
The Atacama Desert: Technical Resources and the Growing Importance of Novel Microbial Diversity
(Annual Reviews, 2016)
The Atacama Desert of northern Chile is the oldest and most arid non-polar environment on Earth. It is a coastal desert covering approximately 180,000 km(2), and together with the greater Atacama region it comprises a ...
