The role of dispersal potential on phylogeographic structure, evidenced by the degree genetic structure and presence coincident biogeographic breaks, was evaluated in a macrogeographic comparative approach along north-central coast Chile, across transition zone at 30°S. Using 2,217 partial sequences mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I gene eight benthic invertebrate species ca. 2,600 km coast, we contrasted with determined concordance between divergence regions Genetic diversity...
Background: The use of wild plants depends on a number sociocultural and ecological factors, such as the ease access to natural environments. This limitation for urban inhabitants leads differences in knowledge compared rural inhabitants.
 Hypothesis: Rural populations tend share similar species when easy landscapes is available.
 Study site years study: area Curarrehue, Araucanía region (southern Chile), 2017.
 Methods: patterns edible (WEPs) medicinal (WMPs) were between...
Seed dispersal is a critical process for plant reproduction and regeneration. Successful recruitment depends on pre- post-dispersal processes that complete seed’s journey until becoming new plant. However, anthropogenic stressors may disrupt the seed at some stages, collapsing regeneration hampering its long-term persistence. The Chilean palm tree Jubaea chilensis southernmost only non-tropical species, which currently relies scatter-hoarding rodent Octodon degus dispersal. We assessed fate...
We describe Rizoma, a new comprehensive online database on traditional uses of Chilean flora. The Rizoma was built by reviewing multiple data sources the native plants and integrating phytogeographic ecological aspects plant species. This attempts to safeguard knowledge making it available visible society, providing 1380 use records from 736 vascular species Chile. In addition, contributes better understanding patterns plants. includes Chile, representing 399 genera 128 families. Each record...
Abstract Niche partitioning is a common strategy species use to avoid competition for limited resources, allowing them coexist. Rodent often reduce by spatial segregation and trophic differentiation, but behavioural differences, particularly related foraging, can also be important. Therefore, temporal an important mechanism coexistence, as it helps sub‐optimal habitats. We found three rodent (the native Octodon degus O. lunatus, the exotic Rattus rattus ) foraging on endemic palm Jubaea...
Background: Wild edible plants are species that not cultivated but can be consumed as food. These may exhibit the highest taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity within urban floras, since they have a longer history of use associated with humans than non-edible plants. Also, because biodiversity is strongly biomass, plant might show higher productivity (biomass per site) Questions: Is wild non-edibles areas? alpha-biodiversity positively related to biomass in Study sites years study: Cities...
This database gathers 10,721 specimens, belonging to 2,578 species from the Chilean vascular flora (angiosperms, gymnosperms and pteridophytes) deposited in Herbarium of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV) Chile. The PUCV botanical collection was started by renowned botanist Otto Zöllner represents a major natural historical legacy for central Chile, with decades information represented through preserved specimens. is currently Curauma campus PUCV. digitisation effort part...
Chenopodium giganteum D. Don is described as a new alien plant species in the Chilean vascular flora. A brief description, illustrations and an identification key for of genus L. present Chile are provided.
