(SPRINGER, 2006-11)Understory birds are especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation because of the reduction in habitat quality and bird movement. We study the separate effects of understory, overstory and landscape on four understory ...
-
(2013)Forestry plantations are expected to be managed in ways to conserve biodiversity while producing goods and services. This goal implies a signifi cant challenge as plantations tend to reduce species richness. The presence ...
-
(SPRINGER, 2010-10)Despite the increasing claims that structural complexity in agroforestry plantations is a key variable for enhancing bird biodiversity, few studies have experimentally manipulated the understory component of structural ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Between January 1 and February 10, 2017, the central southern area of Chile faced several mega-fires events that were considered the second largest of the history, 518,174 ha were affected. The devastating consequences of ...
-
(Springer, 2014)Background: The biological conservation in private lands largely depends upon landowners’ willingness to keep populations of wild species on them, an issue highlighted by the Convention on Biological Diversity. In this ...
-
(2007)Habitat fragmentation reduces frugivorous bird abundance. Such a reduction may lead to a reduction in seed dispersal, thereby compromising seedling recruitment rate with far reaching consequences for plant population ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Forestry plantations of Pinus radiata, managed through clearcutting method, would offer resistance to the movement of native fauna among remnants of native forest. In this study, we evaluate the possibilities of establishing ...
-
(SPRINGER, 2006-05)We studied the pollination and reproductive success in continuous and fragmented populations of Lapageria rosea, a self-compatible plant endemic to temperate forests of Chile. Pollinator abundance, visitation rates, flower ...
-
(2013)A.E. Muñoz, and J.A. Simonetti. 2013. Diet of guanaco in sheep-free rangeland in Tierra del Fuego, Chile. Cien. Inv. Agr. 40(1):185-191. Guanaco (Lama guanicoe), the only native ungulate of Tierra del Fuego, uses the ...
-
(Wiley, 2017)Climate change is a major threat to biodiversity; the development of models that reliably predict its effects on species distributions is a priority for conservation biogeography. Two of the main issues for accurate temporal ...
-
(Springer, 2020)Land-use change can raise the risk of human exposure to zoonotic diseases by increasing abundance of reservoir hosts. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis on the associations between land-use change and the abundance ...
-
(Springer, 2015)Forestry plantations supporting native species exhibit a dense understory, which might reduce bat activity within plantations. We compared bat activity in Monterrey pine plantations with and without an understory in ...
-
(SOCIEDAD BIOLOGIA CHILE, 2004-03)Habitat fragmentation may result in changes in species number and Population abundance among habitats that differ in area, structure, or edge characteristics. These changes, in turn, may result in alterations in ecosystem ...
-
(2013)Despite of being structurally simpler and species-impoverished than natural forests, agroforestry plantations can act as a secondary habitat for native species and sustain some biodiversity. In particular, insectivores ...
-
(2009)We compared parasite load (prevalence and mean intensity) of Eutrombicula alfreddugesi larvae on the lizard Liolaemus tenuis sampled during January 2006 and 2007 from the interior and edges of large forest tracts in the ...
-
(ELSEVIER, 2004-01)The Maulino forest is a unique temperate ecosystem restricted to a small range of the coast of central Chile. This forest harbors many endemic species, and is threatened due to intensive deforestation and fragmentation. ...
-
(2010)The occurrence of fauna in commercial plantations is often associated with structural complexity. Through ameta-analysis, we tested whether the structural complexity of plantations could enhance bird species assemblages ...
-
(Editorial Universitaria, 2018)El compromiso de Chile por el cuidado de la diversidad biológica y la sustentabilidad alcanza también a la industria forestal, particularmente, a la del pino Radiata o Monterrey, muy extendida en el sur de Chile. Pocos ...
-
(GAUTHIER-VILLARS/EDITIONS ELSEVIER, 2007-01)Habitat fragmentation may modify ecological interactions such as herbivory, and these changes can impinge upon plant fitness. Through a natural experiment, we evaluated if herbivory, foliar survival and shoot growth of the ...
