Ants are among the most diverse, abundant and ecologically significant organisms on earth. They have colonized almost all existing habitats, including urban areas, where they may pose serious problems for human activities. Here, we present different aspects of our studies ants in city Buenos Aires aimed at collecting information species improving bait control strategies via laboratory assays. The use these baits represents a strategy that is environment-friendly as it avoids indiscriminate...
Though statistics is covered in secondary-school curricula, it usually limited to few lessons and mainly taught a procedural approach. There seems be gap between the education of mathematics teachers demands on their practice. Learning from mathematical perspective does not qualify teach subject properly. Therefore, we developed pedagogical intervention that consists training program for teaching aimed at pre-service focused activity-based learning. Two workshops web-site were designed:...
Cowbirds are a successful group of obligate brood parasites in the Neotropical passerine family Icteridae that offer an interesting model to explore factors behind evolution bird craniomandibular complex. The Giant Cowbird, Molothrus oryzivorus, stands out from its congeners, among other features, diet (feeds mostly on fruit, nectar, and arthropods, instead seeds), larger body size, longer, more robust beak with much broader bony casque than cowbirds. In turn, show remarkable resemblance...
The absence of sex dimorphism in many bird species complicates determination by direct observation, hindering sex-specific studies. Standard protocols for molecular sexing include polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification intron regions the Chromodomain-Helicase DNA-binding protein 1 (CHD1) gene. While several methods have been studied, their usefulness songbirds (Passeriformes) has not consistent and largely depended on target time-consuming primer-set specific optimisation available...
Detailed osteological descriptions of the craniomandibular complex passerine birds are lacking for most species, limiting our understanding their diversity and evolution. Cowbirds (genus Molothrus) a small but widespread group New World nine-primaried songbirds, well-known unique brooding parasitic behavior. However, detailed data cowbirds other Icteridae currently scarce several features skulls remain undescribed or poorly known. To address this issue, comparative osteology cowbird is...
Tool use is taxonomically associated with high behavioural flexibility and innovativeness, its prevalence greater in primates some bird species. This association, however, not known to be causally determinant of tool-related competence since innovativeness are often observed the absence tool vice versa. For this reason, it interesting explore whether animals that can loosely categorized as outstanding, or 'intelligent' physical problem solvers, also remarkable using tools innovatively,...
Breeding outcome in birds can be influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, which may contribute differentially to each stage of the breeding cycle. Island raptors are relatively threatened species that rely on simplified food webs usually co‐occur with invasive species. Here, we studied a population Striated Caracara Phalcoboenus australis Isla de los Estados (Argentina) understand relative contribution availability, topographical features territoriality parameters. Caracaras area...
Fear conditioning is one of the most widely used paradigms in neuroscience to study mechanisms underlying learning and memory better understand post-traumatic stress disorders phobias. traditionally achieved by pairing a conditioned stimulus, such as cue or context, with an unconditioned which usually mild foot shock. There are different temporal ways pair those stimuli generating contingencies. Learning can occur several sessions, followed testing sessions be assessed at time points. These...
