Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Luhr, Daniela; Marfull, Reinaldo; Torres Contreras, Hugo; Figueroa Pérez, Daniela Patricia; Sabat Opazo, Pablo; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio (2012)We characterize, in both the laboratory and the field, the preferential thermal microenvironments of Paraphysa parvula (Pocock 1903) (Araneae: Theraphosidae), a mygalomorph spider that successfully inhabits the high elevation ...

Botto Mahan, Carezza; Cattan Ayala, Pedro; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio (2002)In spite of extensive evidence showing an association between host stimuli and insect finding behaviour, the importance of carbon dioxide in attracting Triatominae is not entirely understood. We assessed the potential of ...

Gutstein, Carolina S.; Figueroa Bravo, Constanza P.; Pyenson, Nicholas D.; Yury Yáñez, Roberto E.; Cozzuol, Mario A.; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio (Elsevier, 2014)This study compares the bony ear morphology of freshwater and marine odontocetes (toothed whales). Odontocetes are unique among marine mammals in two important respects: 1) they use echolocation; 2) at least three lineages ...

Canals, Lucía; Figueroa, Daniela; Torres Contreras, Hugo; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio (2012)This article describes the basic prey requirements of Paraphysa sp., a small mygalomorph spider from the central Andes. Paraphysa sp. can be maintained in captivity using mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) as its primary food ...

Maldonado, Karin Evelyn; Cavieres, Grisel; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (2009)A large number of physiological acclimation studies assume that flexibility in a certain trait is both adaptive and functionally important for organisms in their natural environment; however, it is not clear how an organism's ...

Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Salazar,; Durán,; Figueroa,; Veloso, (2007)In this study we hypothesized that Grammostola rosea Walckenaer 1837, an active predator of large size that depends on its two paired book lungs for respiration, would have a refined low energy strategy based on its thin ...

Botto Mahan, Carezza; Cattan Ayala, Pedro; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Acuña Retamar, Mariana (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2005-08)n this study, we quantify the home range of Mepraia spinolai, a wild vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, and the abundance of wild mammals during summer and winter seasons in a protected area of north-central Chile. Results ...

Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Figueroa, Daniela P.; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (2010)In this report, we explore the matching of structures to functional needs by comparing previously reported data of maximal oxygen consumption and the development of the lung in the leaf-eared mouse Phyllotis darwini in ...

Canals Lambarri, Mauricio (1998)One of the most representative cases in which the relation individual-environment is evident is the heat exchange between animals and their physical environment. Based on the physical laws regulating heat exchange and on ...

Barceló, Gonzalo; Salinas, Jonathan; Cavieres, Grisel; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (2009)The obligatory cost of living for endotherms is measured by basal metabolic rate (BMR), a variable that is known to change after thermal acclimation. However, the relative timing between variation in ambient temperature ...
