Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Taucare Ríos, A.; Brescovit, A. D.; Peña Gómez, F.; Bizama, G.; Canals, A.; Moreno, L.; Bustamante, R. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)In Chile, all necrotic arachnidism is attributed to the Chilean recluse spider Loxosceles laeta (Nicolet) (Araneae: Sicariidae). It is predated by the spitting spider Scytodes globula (Nicolet) (Araneae: Scytodidae). The ...

Osmoregulation and adaptive radiation in the ovenbird genus Cinclodes (Passeriformes : Furnariidae) Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Maldonado, Karin; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Martínez del Río, Carlos (BLACKWELL, 2006-10)1. The genus Cinclodes is unique among passerines because it includes two species that can be considered marine/coastal and also includes several species that inhabit freshwater streams or that shift habitats between ...

Figueroa, D. P.; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Torres Contreras, Hugo; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010-01-01)Small animals need efficient water conservation mechanisms for survival and reproduction, which is relevant for the spiders that have large book lungs with large respiratory surface. If lung evaporation is relevant to ...

Percolation of influenza AH1N1 epidemic in the world: Usefulness of the spatial-connectivity models Canals Cifuentes, Andrea; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio (SOC. MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2010-03-31)The 2009 AH1N1 epidemics expanded rapidly around the world by the current connectivity conditions. The spread of epidemics can be described by the phenomenon of percolation, that allows the estimation of the threshold ...

Ehrenfeld, Mildred J.; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Cattan Ayala, Pedro (Entomological Society of America, 1998)Population parameters of Triatoma spinolai Porter were studied using specimens collected in the north and central region of Chile. Two cohorts of 17 and 44 first instars were maintained at a constant temperature of 28°C ...

Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto; Valderas, Julio; Ehrenfeld, Mildred; Cattan Ayala, Pedro (Entomological Society of America, 1997)Preferred temperature and activity patterns of Triatoma infestans Klug and Triatoma spinolai Porter were studied, both are vectors of Chagas' disease in Chile. In the laboratory, 24 T. spinolai and 18 T. infestans were ...

Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio (SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2008-03)The bronchial tree of most mammalian lungs is a good example of an efficient distribution system whose geometry and dimensions of branched structures are important factors in determining the efficiency of respiration. Small ...

Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Donoso, C.; Figueroa, D.; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2007)Hematological parameters of birds and mammals seem to respond to environmental requirements, such as hypoxia at high altitude and the energetic demands of locomotion and flight. In this work we hypothesize that lung capillary ...

Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Olivares Pérez-Montt, Ricardo; Rosenmann Abramovich, Mario (SOCIEDAD BIOLGIA CHILE, 2005)In this paper we develop a method to estimate lung Volume using chest x-rays of small mammals. We applied this method to assess the lung volume of several rodents. We showed that a good estimator of the lung volume is: ...

Self-organization in the dynamics of huddling behavior in Octodon degus in two contrasting seasons Sánchez, Edgardo; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto; Torres Contreras, Hugo; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio (Springer, 2015)In small mammals, huddling appears as an efficient response to low temperature with important consequences in energy saving, which in turn affect individual fitness. It has been proposed that this behavior is a self-organized ...

Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Atala, Cristian; Olivares, Ricardo; Novoa, F. Fernando; Rosenmann, Mario (2002)From a physical perspective, the air way has been proposed as a model of optimal design. Its design has been associated with a optimal gases flow to the alveoli, a minimum entropy production and minimal costs of mass and ...
