      Los bosques de la ecorregión subantártica de Magallanes incluyen una alta diversidad de briofitas, superando la diversidad de las plantas vasculares. A pesar de esto, estudios biológicos referentes a fenología de briofitas ...
    • González, Alejandra V.; Pérez, Fernanda (UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2010-03)
      Pollen limitation (PL) in plant populations is supposed to be particularly strong in variable pollinator environments. Here, we examined the extent of PL in the coastal Atacama Desert, where low and unpredictable rainfall ...

      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 ...
    • Valdivia, Carlos E.; Cisternas, Mauricio A.; Verdugo, Gabriela S. (EDICIONES UNIV, CONCEPCION, COMITE DE PUBLICACION, 2010-01-11)
      The extent to which plants depend on pollinators for outcross pollen transportation is a key issue in plant reproductive ecology. We evaluated the putative breeding system, floral display, and natural pollination in two ...
    • Urzúa Acevedo, Marcela; Briones, X. G.; Carrasco, L. P.; Encinas, M. V.; Petri, D. F. S. (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2010-06-02)
