Antarctic beech forests (Nothofagus antarctica (G. Forst.) Oerst.) have shown a major decline process in the past few decades, together with an important lack of specific studies on this type of forest. The aim of this ...

Characterizing the spatial variability of the severity of wildfires is important to assess ecological and economic consequences and to coordinate mitigation strategies. Vegetation indices such as the differenced Normalized ...

he Boraginales are now universally accepted as monophyletic and firmly placed in Lamiidae. However, a consensus about familial classification has remained elusive, with some advocating recognition of a single, widely ...

One of the challenges of working with rare or elusive species is knowing their current distribution. Species distribution modeling (SDM) is a robust approach to estimate the distribution of a species where this information is ...

Relatively recent increases in molecular and geographic data for many taxa in different areas of the world have provided scientists with tools to evaluate biodiversity using evolutionary or phylogeny-based indices (reviewed ...

Rationale The keratin fleece of the endangered vicuna (Vicugna vicugna) commands a high value in international markets, and this trade has caused illegal poaching and a substantial decrease in vicuna populations. Morphological ...

Multi-hazard evaluations are fundamental inputs for disaster risk management plans and the implementation of resilient urban environments, adapted to extreme natural events. Risk assessments from natural hazards have been ...

Estimation of biodiversity patterns in poorly known areas is hampered by data availability and biased collecting efforts. To overcome the former, patterns can be estimated at higher taxonomic levels and larger spatial ...

La delimitación genérica dentro de Heliotropiaceae ha sufrido cambios en el último tiempo que no son recogidos en publicaciones taxonómicas recientes sobre el grupo en Argentina. En este trabajo se actualiza la taxonomía ...
