      Aim Exotic species' introductions together with extinction of native species represent the main mechanisms driving biotic homogenization of freshwater fish assemblages around the world. While generally ichtyofaunistic ...
    • Reyes Olivares, Claudio; Guajardo Santibáñez, Andrés; Segura, Bernardo; Zañartu, Nicolás; Penna Varela, Mario; Labra, Antonieta (Wiley, 2020)
      Vertebrate predation by invertebrates has been classically underexplored and thus underestimated, despite the fact that many arthropods consume vertebrates. To shed some light on the relevance that spider predation may ...

      Penguins are the only extant family of flightless diving birds. They currently comprise at least 18 species, distributed from polar to tropical environments in the Southern Hemisphere. The history of their diversification ...
    • Trofimchuk, Elena; Pinto Jiménez, Manuel; Trofimchuk, Sergei (Cambridge University Press, 2020)
      We are revisiting the topic of travelling fronts for the food-limited (FL) model with spatio-temporal nonlocal reaction. These solutions are crucial for understanding the whole model dynamics. Firstly, we prove the existence ...
    • Martínez Harms, Jaime; Hadar, Ravit; Márquez, Natalia; Menzel, Randolf; Shmida, Avi; Stavenga, Doekele G.; Vorobyev, Misha (MDPI, 2020)
      Evolutionary change is considered a major factor influencing the invasion of new habitats by plants. Yet, evidence on how such modifications promote range expansion remains rather limited. Here we investigated flower color ...
    • Aldea, Cristian; Novoa, Leslie; Alcaíno, Samuel; Rosenfeld Sekulovic, Sebastián (Pensoft, 2020)
      An increase in richness of benthic marine mollusks towards high latitudes has been described on the Pacific coast of Chile in recent decades. This considerable increase in diversity occurs specifically at the beginning of ...

    • Rivas Arancibia, Danilo; Molina Gálvez, Mario (Nature, 2020)
      We study the transport properties of an initially localized excitation in several flat band lattices, in the presence of nonlinear (Kerr) disorder. In the weak nonlinearity regime, the dynamics is controlled by the degeneracy ...
    • Becerra, Pablo I.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier (Universidad Austral de Chile, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, 2020)
