    • Assessing the effects of human activities on the foraging opportunities of migratory shorebirds in Austral ... 
      Navedo, Juan G.; Verdugo, Claudio; Rodríguez-Jorquera, Ignacio A.; Abad-Gómez, José M.; Suazo, Cristián G.; Castañeda, Luis E.; Araya, Valeria; Ruiz, Jorge; Gutiérrez, Jorge S. (Public Library of Science, 2019)
      Human presence at intertidal areas could impact coastal biodiversity, including migratory waterbird species and the ecosystem services they provide. Assessing this impact is therefore essential to develop management measures ...
    • CYP3A5 and UGT1A9 polymorphisms influence immunosuppressive therapy in pediatric kidney transplant recipients 
      Krall Opazo, Paola; Yáñez, Dominique; Rojo, Angélica; Delucchi Bicocchi, María Angela; Córdova, Miguel; Morales, Jorge; Boza, Pía; Rivera, Alonso de la; Espinoza, Natalie; Armijo, Natalia; Castañeda, Luis E.; Farfán Urzúa, Mauricio; Salas, Carolina (Frontiers Media, 2021)
      Background: Tacrolimus (TAC) and mycophenolic acid (MPA) are the main immunosuppressive drugs used in pediatric kidney transplantation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in metabolizing enzymes and transporters might ...
    • Energetic costs of detoxification systems in herbivores feeding on chemically defended host plants: A ... 
      Castañeda, Luis E.; Figueroa, Christian C.; Fuentes-Contreras, Eduardo; Niemeyer, Hermann M.; Nespolo, Roberto F. (2009)
      Herbivorous insects have developed mechanisms to cope with plant barriers, including enzymatic systems to detoxify plant allelochemicals. Detoxification systems may be induced when insects are feeding on plants with ...
    • Evolutionary potential of thermal preference and heat tolerance in Drosophila subobscura 
      Castañeda, Luis E.; Romero-Soriano, Valèria; Mesas, Andrés; Roff, Derek A.; Santos, Mauro (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
      Evolutionary change of thermal traits (i.e., heat tolerance and behavioural thermoregulation) is one of the most important mechanisms exhibited by organisms to respond to global warming. However, the evolutionary potential ...
    • Physiological approach to explain the ecological success of 'superclones' in aphids: Interplay between ... 
      Castañeda, Luis E.; Figueroa, Christian C.; Fuentes-Contreras, Eduardo; Niemeyer, Hermann M.; Nespolo, Roberto F. (2010)
      'Superclones' are predominant and time-persistent genotypes, exhibiting constant fitness across different environments. However, causes of this ecological success are still unknown. Therefore, we studied the physiological ...
    • Shared and unique features of bacterial communities in native forest and vineyard phyllosphere 
      Miura, Toshiko; Sánchez, Roland; Castañeda, Luis E.; Godoy, Karina; Barbosa, Olga (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
      Phyllosphere bacteria have received little attention despite their important roles in shaping plant performance traits. In this study, we characterize the bacterial communities on leaves of native trees inhabiting ...
    • Tolerance landscapes in thermal ecology 
      Rezende, Enrico L.; Castañeda, Luis E.; Santos, Mauro (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)
      Summary: How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single temperature can accurately describe ...
