Abstract The G ran C haco in central S outh A merica is a major savanna woodland ecosystem. Accelerated changes land use within it have resulted complex matrix of areas with varying capabilities for sustaining wildlife. Furthermore, hunting and habitat loss increasingly threaten the functional diversity mammals found there. We assess potential consequences large medium‐sized native mammalian herbivores frugivores on hacoan ecosystem functioning, focusing their role conservation status...
Abstract Land‐use change is known to affect biodiversity, and there increasing concern regarding how these changes may impact the provision of ecosystem services. Although functional composition (diversity identity) could influence properties services at community level, little quantitative understanding relationships in field. Here, we evaluate direct indirect effects (through properties) biodiversity on multiple native mixed forest north‐west Patagonia, land‐use intensity influences...
Summary Overgrazing is one of the main drivers desertification in drylands, and livestock production expected to increase next decades. The analysis functional diversity can clarify effects increasing grazing on ecosystem functioning. We assess effect intensity relationship between taxonomic ( TD H ) FD Q plants, ants small mammals, as well within‐trait diversity. compared results using two indices (Shannon Simpson indices). used structural equation modelling SEM causal intensity, ,...
The spotted-wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumara) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a serious global pest. Understanding the drivers for its success fundamental to develop sustainable management tools. Here we aim gain further understanding of environmental influences, seasonal patterns, and landscape complexity that could promote population growth dynamics SWD in Andean region. To achieve this, traps baited with apple cider vinegar were placed region Patagonia, where soft-skinned...
El ratón delicado de los salares (Salinomys delicatus) es un pequeño roedor endémico Argentina.Ha sido considerado como vulnerable a la extinción dada su distribución restringida y en parches, tamaño poblacional especialización hábitats salinos.A pesar que el tiene adaptaciones morfológicas fi siológicas para supervivencia ambientes áridos salitrosos, poco lo se conoce historia natural.El presente trabajo objetivo estudiar natural S. delicatus, reportar nuevas localidades ocurrencia,...
Arthropods are key nodes for the provision of ecosystem services such as pest control, but their response to land-use change is highly variable depending on scale analysis and natural enemies’ life histories. We evaluate effects landscape- local-scale variables communities small-scale agriculture. consider functional traits attain a mechanistic understanding effect changes biodiversity resilience communities. Predator parasitoid arthropods were collected from thirteen raspberry farms...
In landscapes perturbed by industrial mining, seed dispersal limitations could affect the potential for forest recovery. We measured removal in different vegetation layers vectors to examine natural recovery of a severely stressed Greater Sudbury, Canada. Vegetation structure was and causal relationships with along stress gradient past pollution were estimated using path analysis. There almost no most degraded sites, birds removed fewer seeds than other animal groups all sites. An increasing...
The introduction of exotic species can cause important changes in the structure and function natural ecosystems. This note reports European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, into Villavicencio Natural Reserve Mendoza, Argentina. Individuals were introduced from a breeding facility within reserve. study assessed possible establishment as well its potential dispersal corridors. Our findings suggest that rabbit could be using riverbeds We consider O. cuniculus is stage become invader new...
Functional diversity loss by human land-use changes is of great importance for achieving sustainable management, as it plays a key role in ecosystem functioning through direct influence over ecological processes. In northwest Patagonian forests, livestock production among the main activities affecting natural ecosystems. The aim study was to characterize functional understory vegetation sites with different silvopastoral use intensity, and effects that these variations may have on rate...
Amoroso, M. M., Chillo, V., Alcala, V. Rezzano, C. A., Arpigiani, D., Villacide, E. 2018. How does the silvopastoral use modify structure and population dynamics of mixed cypress coihue forests? Ecosistemas 27(3):33-40. Doi.: 10.7818/ECOS.1502 The (Austrocedrus chilensis) (Nothofagus dombeyi) forests northwestern Patagonia are influenced by strong anthropic pressures such as silvopastoral, where sustainable management were not applied. The effects this activity diverse can result in...
