Physiological flexibility and climate change: The case of digestive function regulation in lizards Naya, Daniel; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Bozinovic, Francisco (Elsevier, 2011)Our planet is undergoing fast environmental changes,which are referred as global change. In this newscenario, it is of paramount relevance to understand the mechanistic basis of animal responses to environmental change. Here ...

Naya, Daniel; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Bozinovic, Francisco (Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2008-07-15)According to the “barrel model”, an organism may be represented by a container, with input energy constraints (foraging, digestion, and absorption) symbolized by funnels connected in tandem, and energy outputs ...

Labra, Fabio A.; Marquet, Pablo A.; Bozinovic, Francisco (NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2007-06-26)Complex ecological and economic systems show fluctuations in macroscopic quantities such as exchange rates, size of companies or populations that follow non-Gaussian tent-shaped probability distributions of growth rates ...

Bozinovic, Francisco; Gallardo Munizaga, Pedro; Visser, G. Henk; Cortés, Arturo (COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS, 2003-09)The environmental modification of an organism's physiology in the field is often hypothesized to be responsible for allowing an organism to adjust to changing biotic and abiotic environmental conditions through increases ...

Naya, Daniel; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Bozinovic, Francisco (WILEY-LISS, DIV JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2010-10-21)The understanding of animal functioning in fluctuating environments is a major goal of physiological and evolutionary ecology. In temperate terrestrial habitats, one of the most pervasive changes in environmental conditions ...

Barahona Segovia, Rodrigo; Grez Villarroel, Audrey; Bozinovic, Francisco (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016)Global warming and biological invasions are important threats to biodiversity. Nonetheless, there is little information on how these factors influence performance or life-history traits of invasive and native species. 2. ...

Fontúrbel, Francisco E.; Franco, Lida M.; Bozinovic, Francisco; Quintero Galvis, Julián F.; Mejías, Carlos; Amico, Guillermo C.; Vázquez, M. Soledad; Sabat, Pablo; Sánchez Hernández, Juan C.; Watson, David M.; Sáenz Agudelo, Pablo; Nespolo, Roberto F. (Wiley, 2022)The arboreal marsupial monito del monte (genus Dromiciops, with two recognized species) is a paradigmatic mammal. It is the sole living representative of the order Microbiotheria, the ancestor lineage of Australian marsupials. ...

Clavijo Baquet, Sabrina; Cavieres, Grisel; González, Avia; Cattan Ayala, Pedro Eduardo; Bozinovic, Francisco (Public Library Science, 2021)Vector-borne diseases (VBD) are particularly susceptible to climate change because most of the diseases’ vectors are ectotherms, which themselves are susceptible to thermal changes. The Chagas disease is one neglected ...

Bozinovic, Francisco; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (1992)The energetic cost of thermoregulation related to microhabitat use by nocturnal rodents is studied in four rodent species from central Chile. Rodents concentrate their activity under shrub canopies, avoiding open areas. ...

González Gómez, Paulina L.; Ricote Martínez, Natalia; Razeto Barry, Pablo; Cotorás, Ivania S.; Bozinovic, Francisco (Springer, 2011-11)A common assumption in behavioral ecology is that the valuation of a resource by consumers depends on the energetic value of the resource itself. Nevertheless, the value of a resource may be relative to the condition of ...

Water economy of three Cinclodes (Furnariidae) species inhabiting marine and freshwater ecosystems Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Nespolo, Roberto F.; Bozinovic, Francisco (SOCIEDAD BIOLOGIA CHILE, 2004-06)Birds living in desert environments have been the preferred models for the study of physiological adaptations to water scarcity. Passerine birds living in marine coastal habitats face similar problems, yet physiological ...

Iriarte Díaz, José; Bozinovic, Francisco; Vásquez Salfate, Rodrigo (COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2006-10-15)The transition from trot to gallop in quadruped mammals has been widely hypothesized to be a strategy to minimize the energetic costs of running. This view, however, has been challenged by some experimental evidence ...
