Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can affect nutrient uptake of associated plants and vary in function from mutualism to parasitism as availability increases; thus they may interact with influence plant community structure. We experimentally investigated the hypotheses that AMF structure salt marshes by affecting competitive ability. focused on: Spartina densiflora , dominates physically benign high marsh habitats S. alterniflora which more stressful low habitats. Colonization...
1 While great effort has been made in documenting the processes that drive plant-induced susceptibility after herbivore attack and it is widely accepted herbivores can facilitate plant diseases, relative importance of this interaction controlling growth natural systems remains largely unexplored. 2 In south-western Atlantic salt marshes, we investigated disease herbivory by examining: (i) whether or not a herbivorous crab facilitates (i.e. fungus infection) marsh plants (Spartina...
Geoffroy's cat (Oncifelis geoffroyi) is a little-known South American felid. We report here the first detailed data on its food habits and variations among 3 areas of Argentine Pampas grassland. Analysis 421 scat samples showed relatively narrow trophic niche, dominated by vertebrates, especially small rodents. Despite wide overlap in diet composition, geographical variation was found frequency occurrence primary categories, presence secondary items, mean weight vertebrate prey. These...
The rainfall regime of the Pampas region Argentina shows a long-term cyclic behavior that has increased in intensity over historical mean during last four decades. In this paper we explored effects changes monthly cumulative on lagoon and riparian habitat, and, turn wetland waterbird community. We also responses morphofunctional groups to fluctuation water level habitat diversity caused by change at Mar Chiquita Coastal Lagoon, (37°32' 37°45'S, 57°19' 57°26'W). Analysis satellite images...
Rainfall has increased in many regions during recent decades, but most information is from dryland ecosystems, which precludes generalizations about its ecological consequences. We explored the effects of flooding on Geoffroy’s cat, Leopardus geoffroyi (d’Orbigny and Gervais, 1844), pampas fox, Pseudalopex gymnocercus (G. Fischer, 1814), exposed to an abnormally rainy period marshes at Mar Chiquita, Argentina. In particular, we assessed (i) habitat use by L. P. gymnocercus, (ii) abundance...
Questions: Do current models that predict shifting effects of herbivores on plant diversity with varying nutrient conditions apply to stressful systems like salt marshes? affect different components the as availability varies? Location: Salt marsh–salty steppe transition zone at SW Atlantic Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon (37°44′52″S, 57°26′6″W), Argentina. Methods: We experimentally evaluated separate and interactive effect nutrients rodent (Cavia aperea) herbivory, using...

Abstract Aim Understanding the determinants of species distribution and richness is key to explaining global ecological patterns. We examined current knowledge about terrestrial mammals in tidal marshes evaluated whether increased with marsh surface area and/or their proximity equator ranges decreased latitude. Location Global. Methods reviewed existing literature on marshes. characteristics (e.g. habitat specialists, native or alien), predicted variation range size along latitude, explored...

Individual traits such as age-class can have profound effects on space utilisation by individual birds, with juvenile birds more often exhibiting dispersive movements. We studied the origin of Olrog's Gulls Larus atlanticus, a threatened species, using stable isotopes ratios carbon (δ13C), nitrogen (δ15N) and sulphur (δ34S). analysed feathers from individuals captured in wintering season at Mar Chiquita Coastal Lagoon, Argentina, potential trophic sources their breeding sites Bahía Blanca...
