Irimia, Ramona E.; Lopes, Susana M.M.; Sotes, Gastón; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Eren, Özkan; Lortie, Christopher J.; French, Kristine; Hierro, José L.; Rosche, Christoph; Callaway, Ragan M.; Pinho e Melo, Teresa M.V.D.; Montesinos, Daniel (Springer International Publishing, 2019)Allelopathy, the release of chemicals by plants that inhibit the germination and growth of competing species, can be an important trait for invasive success. However, little is known about potential biogeographical differences ...

Pauchard, Aníbal; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Bustamante Araya, Ramiro (2004)Comparisons between regions with similar climates have traditionally helped to tackle big questions in evolutionary ecology and historical biogeography. We claim that plant invasion ecology can benefit greatly from further ...

Torres Díaz, Cristian; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Muñoz Ramírez, Carlos; Arroyo, Mary T. K. (2007)Insect pollinator activity can be influenced by biotic (e.g., patch floral density and floral display) or by abiotic factors (e.g., temperature, wind velocity, cloudiness). In spite of microsite, seasonal and interannual ...

Sanhueza, Carolina; Fuentes, Francisca; Cortés, Daniela; Bascunan-Godoy, Luisa; Sáez, Patricia L.; Bravo, León A.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)Leaf respiration and photosynthesis will respond differently to an increase in temperature during night, which can be more relevant in sensitive ecosystems such as Antarctica. We postulate that the plant species able to ...

Becerra, Pablo I.; Cavieres, Lohengrin; Bustamante Araya, Ramiro (Taylor and Francis, 2020)Background: The effects of many invasive species on invaded communities are still scarcely known. Centaurea solstitialis is an invasive Eurasian herb, widely distributed around the world, but its effects on recipient ...

Quiroz, Constanza L.; Badano, Ernesto I.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A. (Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2009)It is well known that the number of plant species associated with nurse plants increases with elevation. However, studies conducted so far have largely ignored the effect of nurse plants on other community attributes, such ...

Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Arroyo, Mary T. K.; Posadas, Paula; Marticorena, Clodomiro; Matthei, Oscar; Rodríguez, Roberto; Squeo, Francisco A.; Arancio, Gina (2002)Endemic taxa are those restricted to a specific area, and could be defined as the exclusive biodiversity of a region. An area of endemism contains taxa found nowhere else and could be catalogued as irreplaceable and of ...

Repetto Giavelli, Fiorella; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2007)Fragmentation of the Maulino forest implies significant habitat loss, as well as the modification of the microclimatic conditions of the remaining forest patches. Fragments are drier, hotter and receive more light than the ...
-
Gómez González, Susana; Cavieres, Lohengrin A. (2009)Central Chile differs from other areas with Mediterranean-type climate by the scarcity of natural wildfires. The Chilean matorral is highly invaded by alien plant species from other Mediterranean zones of the world, where ...

Plant-plant facilitation increases with reduced phylogenetic relatedness along an elevation gradient Duarte, Milen; Verdú, Miguel; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Bustamante Araya, Ramiro (Wiley, 2020)Environmental conditions can modify the intensity and sign of ecological interactions. The stress gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts that facilitation becomes more important than competition under stressful conditions. To ...

Pacheco Sandoval, Diego Andrés; Dudley, Leah; Cabezas Alvarez, Josefina; Cavieres, Lohengrin; Arroyo, Mary T. K. (Public Library Science, 2016)The tendency for flower longevity to increase with altitude is believed by many alpine ecologists to play an important role in compensating for low pollination rates at high altitudes due to cold and variable weather ...
-
Gómez González, Susana; Paula, Susana; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Pausas, Juli G. (Public Library Science, 2017)Fire is a selective agent shaping plant traits and community assembly in fire-prone ecosystems. However, in ecosystems with no fire history, it can be a cause of land degradation when it is suddenly introduced by humans, ...

Squeo, Francisco A.; Estades Marfán, Cristián; Bahamonde, Nibaldo; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Rojas, Gloria; Benoit, Iván; Parada, Esperanza; Fuentes, Alberto; Avilés, Reinaldo; Palma, Antonio; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto; Guerrero, Sofía; Montenegro, Gloria; Torres Mura, Juan (Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2010)Since 1985, the Chilean government with the participation and support of different specialists in plant and animal conservation, started the publication of checklists (i.e. red books) of plant (1985) and animal species ...
-
Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Arroyo, Mary T. K. (2000)The ability to germinate under a variety of environmental conditions is essential for plant species inhabiting a wide range of altitudes and latitudes. Phacelia secunda J. F. Gmel. (Hydrophyllaceae) is a perennial herb ...

Arroyo, Mary T. K.; Dudley, Leah S.; Jespersen, Gus; Pacheco, Diego A.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A. (2013)How high-alpine plants confront stochastic conditions for animal pollination is a critical question. We investigated the effect of temperature on potential flower longevity (FL) measured in pollinator-excluded flowers and ...
