Fontúrbel, Francisco E.; Franco, Marcela; Rodríguez-Cabal, Mariano A.; Rivarola, M. Daniela; Amico, Guillermo C. (2012)Dromiciops gliroides is an arboreal marsupial found in the temperate forests of South America (36- 43 °S). This species is the sole extant representative of the order Microbiotheria, and is a key seed disperser of many ...

Fontúrbel, Francisco E.; Medel Contreras, Rodrigo (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)© 2017 The Author(s). Plant-animal interactions are strong drivers of phenotypic evolution. However, the extent to which anthropogenic habitat transformation creates new selective scenarios for plant-animal interactions ...

Fontúrbel, Francisco E.; Salazar, Daniela A.; Medel Contreras, Rodrigo (Ecological Society of America, 2017)© 2017 Fontúrbel et al. Anthropogenic disturbance can modify habitat structure and resource availability, potentially disrupting ecological interactions. This issue may be critical for pollination and seed dispersal, which ...

Candia Orellana, Alina; Medel Contreras, Rodrigo; Fontúrbel Rada, Francisco (Wiley, 2014)Parasitic plants often have a strong fitness-impact on their plant hosts through increased host mortality and reduced or complete suppression of reproduction. Tristerix corymbosus (Loranthaceae) is a hemiparasitic mistletoe ...

Torrico-Bazoberry, Daniel; Caceres-Sanchez, Liliana; Flores-Prado, Luis; Aguilera-Olivares, Daniel; FontÚrbel, Francisco E.; Niemeyer, Hermann M.; Pinto, Carlos F. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)© 2018 The Royal Entomological Society 1. Insects exhibiting parental care usually can discriminate between kin and non-kin individuals, allowing parents to avoid investment in foreign offspring. 2. This study investigated ...

Flores-Prado, Luis; Pinto, Carlos F.; Rojas, Alejandra; Fontúrbel, Francisco E. (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2014)Host plants are used by herbivorous insects as feeding or nesting resources. In wood-boring insects, host plants features may impose selective forces leading to phenotypic differentiation on traits related to nest construction. ...

Fontúrbel, Francisco E.; Bruford, Michael W.; Salazar, Daniela A.; Cortés-Miranda, Jorge; Vega-Retter, Caren (Elsevier B.V., 2019)© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Land use change is one of the most important anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity loss. Nevertheless, the ecological and evolutionary consequences of habitat transformation remain less understood than ...

Fontúrbel, Francisco E.; Salazar, Daniela A.; Medel Contreras, Rodrigo (Elsevier B.V., 2017)© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Mistletoes rely on biotic seed dispersal to ensure their recruitment on appropriate host plants, as their seeds must be deposited on safe sites to allow attachment. As most host-parasite systems, ...
