Small mammal assemblages in fragmented shrublands of urban areas of Central Chile
(2013)
Mediterranean-type ecosystems are one of the most affected environments by habitat loss and fragmentation due to urban development, however only few studies have evaluated the effects of urbanization on the biodiversity ...
Rainfall, microhabitat, and small mammals influence the abundance and distribution of soil microorganisms in a Chilean semi-arid shrubland
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2016)
Patterns in rainfall and soil water availability are considered to be the main drivers governing arid and semiarid ecosystems. While the mechanisms by which water limits aboveground net primary production has been widely ...
Energetics and geometry of huddling in small mammals
(1989)
Huddling in small mammals appears as an efficient response to low ambient temperatures with important consequences in thermoregulatory energy savings. These energy savings have been ascribed to a decrease in the exposed ...
Small mammals of Maulino forest remnants, a vanishing ecosystem of south-central Chile
(Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, 2005)
The Maulino forest, located at the coastal range of south central Chile, has been severely disrupted by intense human activities. Currently, landscape is dominated by large extensions of plantations of Monterrey pine, where ...
Trypanosoma cruzi-infected triatomines and rodents co-occur in a coastal island of northern Chile
(Peerj Inc, 2020)
Trypanosoma cruzi, the cause agent of Chagas disease, is transmitted mainly by blood-feeding insects of the subfamily Triatominae. The T. cruzi life cycle alternates between triatomines and mammalian hosts, excluding birds ...
Seedling mortality and herbivory damage in subtropical and temperate populations: Testing the hypothesis of higher herbivore pressure toward the tropics
(2010)
Herbivory rates are generally thought to be higher in tropical than in temperate forests. Nevertheless, tests of this biogeographic prediction by comparing a single plant species across a tropical-temperate range are scarce. ...
Temporal Variation of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection in Native Mammals in Chile
(2010)
In the present study, we compared Trypanosoma cruzi infection in four native mammals from a hyperendemic
area of Chagas disease in Chile for two different periods to assess the occurrence of interannual variation (1999–
2000 ...
