Palacios, Camila P.; Agüero, Belén; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2013)The need to carry out biological conservation outside protected areas requires avoiding, minimizing or mitigating impacts brought about by habitat transformation upon the biota. Usually, forest plantations hold fewer species ...

Bustamante,; Grez Villarroel, Audrey; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés; Vasquez,; Walkowiak, (1993)Frugivores affect Cryptocarya alba seeds both positively and negatively by the simple act of removing the pericarp of the fruits. Germination is both increased and advanced but simultaneously seed mortality by rodent ...
-
Vergara, Pablo M.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (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, ...

Vargas, Julieta; Landaeta, Carlos A.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2002)
-
Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1997)The Chilean taxonomic community is reduced, with the largest fraction of taxonomists devoted to well known groups, such as vertebrates. Some invertebrates and plant taxa have no Chilean taxonomist working on them, all ...

Murúa, Maureen M.; Grez Villarroel, Audrey; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Facultad de Agronomia e Ingenieria Forestal, 2011)Habitat fragmentation can affect the morphological design of flying insects in different ways through changes in the costs and benefits of dispersal patterns. Larger wings should be favored if necessary resources are ...
-
Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2011)Biodiversity conservation needs to be informed by science. On this regard, scientific efforts ought to be allocated to tackle research priorities; offer sound and explicit advice, and results ought to be translated into ...

Ceballos, Gerardo; Vale, Mariana M.; Bonacic, Cristian; Calvo Alvarado, Julio; List, Rurik; Bynum, Nora; MedellÍn, Rodrigo A.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés; RodrÍguez, Jon Paul (Wiley, 2009)The Austral and Neotropical America (ANA) section of the Society for Conservation Biology includes a vast territory with some of the largest relatively pristine ecosystems in the world. With more than 573 million people, ...

Pacheco, Luis F.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1994)The protected areas of Bolivia cover 10.2% of its territory, but only 60% of this surface is considered to be of conservation value. Protected areas are unevenly distributed over the eight phyto-geographic regions of ...
-
Ramírez, Patricia A.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2011)Enhancing the structural complexity of commercial plantations could enrich the presence of mammals within them. We tested this hypothesis through a meta-analysis in order to determine whether more complex plantations, with ...
-
Ramírez Collio, Karla; Vergara, Pablo M.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (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 ...
-
Valdivia, Carlos E.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2011)Negative density-dependent relationships in plant communities are currently claimed as an important mechanism for the maintenance of plant diversity. However, anthropogenic perturbations such as forest fragmentation might ...
-
Muñoz, Alejandra E.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Facultad de Agronomia e Ingenieria Forestal, 2013)Guanaco (Lama guanicoe), the only native ungulate of Tierra del Fuego, uses the forests more extensively after the introduction of sheep. It is presumed that the regeneration of lenga (Nothofagus pumilio) is hampered by ...
-
Vergara Egert, Pablo; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (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 ...
-
Nájera, Andrea; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2010)The occurrence of fauna in commercial plantations is often associated with structural complexity. Through a meta-analysis, we tested whether the structural complexity of plantations could enhance bird species assemblages ...
-
Rodríguez San Pedro, Annia; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2013)We assessed foraging activity of insectivorous bats in a fragmented landscape of central Chile including native temperate forest, forest fragments, commercial pine plantations and local human settlements. Overall bat ...
-
Vergara, Pablo M.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (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 ...

Püschel-Hoeneisen, Nicole; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2012)The need for conservation outside protected areas has prompted the modifi cation of productive practices to allow the maintenance of wild biota in productive landscapes such as those associated to timber production. Forest ...
