Abundance and movement of understory birds in a maulino forest fragmented by pine plantations
(SPRINGER, 2006-11)Understory birds are especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation because of the reduction in habitat quality and bird movement. We study the separate effects of understory, overstory and landscape on four understory ... -
Avian responses to fragmentation of the Maulino Forest in central Chile
(2004)Depending on the mosaic of habitats that is created, forest fragmentation can reduce the abundance and diversity of forest birds. Temperate deciduous forests in South America are rapidly being replaced by pine plantations, ... -
Chronicle of an Environmental Disaster: Aculeo Lake, the Collapse of the Largest Natural Freshwater Ecosystem in Central Chile
(Cambridge University Press, 2019) -
Converting clear cutting into a less hostile habitat: The importance of understory for the abundance and movement of the Chestnut-throated Huet-Huet (Pteroptochos castaneus: Rhinocryptidae)
(Elsevier, 2017)Sustainable forest management of commercial monoculture plantations may be difficult to achieve in plantations of Monterrey pine because these commercial monocultures are managed under a clear cutting system, where the ... -
Do beavers improve the habitat quality for Magellanic Woodpeckers? ¿Los castores mejoran la calidad del hábitat para el pájaro carpintero magallánico?
(2012)The effect of the disturbances caused by the American beaver (Castor canadensis), introduced to the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, on species of birds that are forest habitat specialists is poorly understood. Using telemetry ... -
Do corridors promote connectivity for bird-dispersed trees? The case of Persea lingue in Chilean fragmented landscapes
(Springer, 2014)Disentangling the contribution of corridors to landscape connectivity is crucial for adopting efficient measures in conservation, but their actual role in heterogeneous landscapes is not yet fully understood. We assessed ... -
Does nest-site cover reduce nest predation for rhinocryptids?
(Association of Field Ornithologists, 2004)Cover at nesting sites selected by breeding birds can reduce the risk of nest predation. Using artificial nests, we tested whether dense cover reduces nest predation upon understory birds (rhinocryptids) in temperate forest ... -
Fauna nativa en plantaciones forestales. Guía de campo
(Editorial Universitaria, 2018)El compromiso de Chile por el cuidado de la diversidad biológica y la sustentabilidad alcanza también a la industria forestal, particularmente, a la del pino Radiata o Monterrey, muy extendida en el sur de Chile. Pocos ... -
Forest fragmentation and rhinocryptid nest predation in central Chile
(Elsevier, 2003)Fragmentation of forest landscapes can raise the intensity of nest predation by increasing the abundance and richness of generalist or introduced predators. Understory foraging birds, such as rhinocryptids, can be highly ... -
Frugivory on Persea lingue in temperate Chilean forests: interactions between fruit availability and habitat fragmentation across multiple spatial scales
(2010)Habitat degradation and fragmentation are expected to reduce seed dispersal rates by reducing fruit availability as well as the movement and abundance of frugivores. These deleterious impacts may also interact with each ... -
How does the replacement of native forest by exotic forest plantations affect the diversity, abundance and trophic structure of saproxylic beetle assemblages?
(Elsevier, 2017)Native forest in central Chile has been increasingly replaced by exotic forest plantations. In particular, saproxylic beetles could be highly sensitive to exotic forest plantations due to the clear-cutting management ... -
Matrix composition and corridor function for austral thrushes in a fragmented temperate forest
(Springer, 2013)Although it is widely recognized that animal movement may be facilitated by corridors and hindered by the matrix, the influence of matrix composition on the use of corridors still remain poorly understood. We used ... -
Native forest replacement by exotic plantations triggers changes in prey selection of mesocarnivores
(Elsevier, 2015)Replacement of native forests by forest plantations may change the composition and abundance of small mammals, thus influencing the foraging behavior of mesocarnivores in these human-created habitats. We assessed how ... -
Occupancy pattern of a long-horned beetle in a variegated forest landscape: linkages between tree quality and forest cover across spatial scales
(Springer Netherlands, 2017)© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. Context: Interactions between landscape-scale processes and fine-grained habitat heterogeneity are usually invoked to explain species occupancy in fragmented landscapes. ... -
On the seasonal effect of landscape structure on a bird species: the thorn-tailed rayadito in a relict forest in northern Chile
(SPRINGER, 2007-08)Forest bird species exhibit noticeable seasonal behavioral changes that might lead to contrasting effects of landscape pattern upon species abundance and performance. We assessed if the effect of patch and habitat attributes ... -
Responses of Chilean forest birds to anthropogenic habitat fragmentation across spatial scales
(2009)Although it is recognized that anthropogenic forest fragmentation affects habitat use by organisms across multiple spatial scales, there is uncertainty about these effects. We used a hierarchical sampling design spanning ...
