Abstract Aim In deserts, past climate change (and particularly rainfall variability) plays a large role in explaining current plant species distributions. We ask which were most and least affected by changes during the late Quaternary northernmost Chile. Location Quebrada La Higuera ( QLH ; 18° S), shallow canyon that cuts east–west through western Andean precordillera of northern Chile, connecting Altiplano with hyperarid Atacama Desert. Methods collected dated 22 rodent middens from...
Background and Aims Mycorrhizal associations are influenced by abiotic biotic factors, including climate, soil conditions the identity of host plants. However, effect environmental on orchid mycorrhizal remains poorly understood. The present study examined how differences in nutrient availability related to diversity composition fungi associated with two terrestrial species from central Chile. Methods For 12 populations Bipinnula fimbriata B. plumosa, OTU (operational taxonomic unit)...
Scientific interest in traditional and local knowledge (TLK) has grown recent decades, because of the potential TLK for improving management conservation practices. Here, we synthesize evaluate studies Chile, discuss how this progress compares to international scientific literature field, contextualize our results according multiple evidence base approach. We found 77 publications on subject, a steady increase since 1980, peak production 1990s 2010s decades. Publications most often provide...
ABSTRACT Little is known about the soil factors influencing root-associated fungal communities in Orchidaceae. Limited evidence suggests that nutrients may modulate association with orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF), but their influence on non-mycorrhizal remains unexplored. To study how nutrient availability affects and associated Bipinnula fimbriata, we conducted a metagenomic investigation within large population variable conditions. Additionally, tested effect of phosphorus (P) addition...
Summary Global assessments of mycorrhizal symbiosis present large sampling gaps in rich biodiversity regions. Filling these is necessary to build large‐scale, unbiased databases obtain reliable analyses and prevent misleading generalizations. Underrepresented regions research are mainly Africa, Asia, South America. Despite the high endemism regions, many groups organisms remain understudied, especially fungi. In this Viewpoint, we emphasize importance inclusive collaborative continental...
South America is a vast region of exceptional biodiversity that, in over 60°of latitude, encompasses an extraordinary range ecosystems and ecological gradients.From the World's driest climate Atacama Desert, to one wettest Choc o biogeographic region; from largest drainage basin, Amazon, longest mountain range, Andes.Despite this impressive conditions that can be seen as natural laboratories, many groups organisms are not well studied America.Soil microorganisms particularly under-studied...
Abstract A crucial innovation in plant evolution was the association with soil fungi during land colonization. Today, this symbiotic interaction is present most plants species and can be classified four types: arbuscular (AM), Ecto (EM), Orchid (OM) Ericoid Mycorrhiza (ER). Since AM ancestral state, some lineages have switched partner (EM, OM ER) or lost (no-association: NM). Evolutionary transitions to a novel mycorrhizal state (MS) might allow access new resources, enhancing...
Echinopsis chiloensis is an endemic cactus from Chile, distributed in a temperature and rainfall gradient between 30° 35° South latitude, with mean temperatures increasing precipitation decreasing toward the north. It main host of mistletoe Tristerix aphyllus , holoparasite completely dependent on for water, carbon, minerals. In this study, we investigated consequences parasitism over fitness physiology throughout its distribution range how it affected by environment. We measured five...
Las Orchidaceae cuentan con alrededor de 50 especies distribuidas desde la Región Arica y Parinacota hasta Magallanes. Chloraea cylindrostachya leptopetala, fueron sinonimizadas considerando que última era un individuo joven primera.
 En este trabajo se muestran los resultados caracterización morfológica C. en evaluaron las presuntas diferencias entre estas especies. Esta realizó mediante mediciones ejemplares herbario terreno, a través del análisis imágenes digitales el software IMAGE...
