(Universidad de Chile, 2018-05)El origen del vuelo en Aves está marcado tanto por disminuciones significativas en tamaño corporal como por el aumento en tamaño relativo de las extremidades anteriores. No obstante, previo al origen del vuelo, la evolución ...
-
(2012)We characterize, in both the laboratory and the field, the preferential thermal microenvironments of Paraphysa parvula (Pocock 1903) (Araneae: Theraphosidae), a mygalomorph spider that successfully inhabits the high elevation ...
-
(Universidad de la Frontera, 2010)We studied the respiratory surface density and the thickness of the air-blood barrier in the Picui Ground Dove (Columbina picui), and compared it with Eared Dove (Zenaida auriculata) and Blacked-winged Ground Dove (Metropelia ...
-
(UNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE, 2018)Las arañas son organismos capaces de aprovechar los nuevos microhábitats ofrecidos por las áreas urbanizadas, adquiriendo de este modo hábitos sinantrópicos. Entre las arañas con hábitos sinantrópicos en nuestro país, se ...
-
(2002)We studied the departure from the physical optimality of the bronchial tree of rats using both i) the minimum volume and power and ii) the minimum surface and drag criteria, considering the bronchial junction as the unit ...

(Sociedad Chilena de Infectologia, 2014)© 2014 Sociedad Chilena de Infectologia. All rights reserved.Background: Despite the abundant eco-epidemiological knowledge of the Chilean reclusive spider, Loxosceles laeta, which causes all forms of loxoscelism in Chile, ...
-
(2002)In spite of extensive evidence showing an association between host stimuli and insect finding behaviour, the importance of carbon dioxide in attracting Triatominae is not entirely understood. We assessed the potential of ...
-
(COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2005-10)We studied structure and function of the respiratory system in the bat Tadarida brasifiensis and compared it with those of two species of rodents, Abrothrix andinus and A. olivaceus. Tadarida brasiliensis had lower resting ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014)This study compares the bony ear morphology of freshwater and marine odontocetes (toothed whales). Odontocetes are unique among marine mammals in two important respects: 1) they use echolocation; 2) at least three lineages ...
-
(Entomological Society of America, 2015)In Chile, all necrotic arachnidism is attributed to the Chilean recluse spider, Loxosceles laeta Nicolet, a species that shares the microenvironmental habitats with the spitting spider Scytodes globula Nicolet. The latter ...
-
(Society of Biology of Chile, 2007)We studied the lung diffusion parameters of two species of birds and two species of mammals to explore how structural and functional features may be paralleled by differences in life style or phylogenetic origin. We used ...
-
(2012)This article describes the basic prey requirements of Paraphysa sp., a small mygalomorph spider from the central Andes. Paraphysa sp. can be maintained in captivity using mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) as its primary food ...
-
(Universidad de Chile., 2018-01)La condición basal para synapsida es tener un astrágalo que en su cara posterior articula con la cara anterior del calcáneo, ambos elementos en el mismo plano del eje dorso-vental. Además, presentan un elemento basipodial ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2019)Introducción: El ataque cerebrovascular (ACV) es la primera causa de muerte en el país. La evidencia muestra que el 90% de los infartos cerebrales son atribuibles a factores de riesgo modificables, entre ellos la dieta ...
-
(2009)A large number of physiological acclimation studies assume that flexibility in a certain trait is both adaptive and functionally important for organisms in their natural environment; however, it is not clear how an organism's ...
-
(Sociedad Chilena de Infectologia, 2014)Introduction: The population of immunocompromised patients has increased in recent decades. Many of these patients eventually present infectious complications including pneumonia, which is a diagnostic that must to be ...
-
(2007)In this study we hypothesized that Grammostola rosea Walckenaer 1837, an active predator of large size that depends on its two paired book lungs for respiration, would have a refined low energy strategy based on its thin ...
-
(Soc Chilena Infectología, 2021)Se revisa brevemente el concepto de inmunidad de grupo, poblacional o efecto “rebaño”, mostrando que algunas ideas popularizadas no corresponden al concepto original. Se establece la relación con los números reproductivo ...
