Badano, Ernesto I.; Jones, Clive G.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Wright, Justin P. (BLACKWELL, 2006-11)Comparative and integrative tools are of fundamental value in ecology for understanding outcomes of biological processes, and making generalizations and predictions. Although ecosystem engineering has been shown to play a ...

Molina Montenegro, Marco A.; Badano, Ernesto I.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A. (INST ARCTIC ALPINE RES, UNIV COLORADO, 2006-05)High mountain environments are highly stressful for insect survival. It has been suggested that small microtopographic variations generating less stressful microclimatic conditions than the surrounding environment would ...

Badano, Ernesto I.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A. (BLACKWELL, 2006-02)Aim To integrate the effects of ecosystem engineers (organisms that create, maintain or destroy habitat for other species) sharing the same archetype on species diversity, and assess whether different engineer species have ...

Badano, Ernesto I.; Villarroel, Elisa; Bustamante Araya, Ramiro; Marquet, Pablo A.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A. (BLACKWELL, 2007-07)1. Ecosystem engineers are organisms that change abiotic conditions in ways that affect the performance and distribution of other species, including exotics. Several mechanisms have been proposed for the successful ...

Badano, Ernesto I.; Bustamante Araya, Ramiro; Villarroel, Elisa; Marquet, Pablo A.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A. (International Association for Vegetation Science, 2015)QuestionThe biotic resistance hypothesis states that species diversity is a barrier for plant biological invasions because alien species are more likely to find strong competitors as diversity of native plants increases. ...

Badano, Ernesto I.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A. (BLACKWELL, 2006-07)Ecosystem engineers are organisms able to modulate environmental forces and, hence, may change the habitat conditions for other species. In so doing, ecosystem engineers may affect both species richness and evenness of ...

Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Badano, Ernesto I.; Sierra Almeida, Angela; Molina Montenegro, Marco A. (INST ARCTIC ALPINE RES, UNIV COLORADO, 2007-05)Cushion plants are one of the most common growth forms in alpine habitats. Their low stature, dense canopy, and compact form allow them to decouple their microclimate from the surrounding environment, mitigating the effect ...

Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Badano, Ernesto I.; Sierra Almeida, Angela; Gómez González, Susana; Molina Montenegro, Marco A. (BLACKWELL, 2006-01)In alpine habitats, positive interactions among plants tend to increase with elevation as a result of altitudinal increase in environmental harshness. However, in mountains located in arid zones, lower elevations are also ...

Predicting effects of ecosystem engineering on species richness along primary productivity gradients Badano, Ernesto I.; Marquet, Pablo A.; Cavieres, Lohengrin Alexis (ELSEVIER, 2010)Physical ecosystem engineering is the process by which some species change the distribution of materials and energy in ecosystems. Although several studies have shown that this process is a driver of local species ...

Badano, Ernesto I.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Molina Montenegro, Marco A.; Quiroz, C. L. (ACADEMIC PRESS LTD ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2005-07)The most important processes shaping communities are likely to leave observable imprints on their spatial structure. The net outcome of positive and negative interactions among plants has been proposed to vary inversely ...

Moreno, Rodrigo A.; Sepúlveda, Roger D.; Badano, Ernesto I.; Thatje, Sven; Rozbaczylo, Nicolás; Carrasco, Franklin D. (2008)Despite a large amount of climatic and oceanographic information dealing with the recurring climate phenomenon El Nin˜o (EN) and its well known impact on diversity of marine benthic communities, most published data are ...
