(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011)P>Paleobotanists have long used models based on leaf size and shape to reconstruct paleoclimate. However, most models incorporate a single variable or use traits that are not physiologically or functionally linked to ...
-
(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 ...
-
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2007-08-01)We evaluate the impact of exceptionally sparse plant cover (0-20%) and rainfall (2-114 mm/yr) on the stable carbon and oxygen composition of soil carbonate along elevation transects in what is among the driest places on ...
-
(Wiley, 2020)The Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, one of the last wild areas of the planet, is not exempt from the pressures of global change, such as non-native species introductions. During 2018 and 2019 we studied the Robalo river basin ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2020)High-elevation tropical lakes are excellent sentinels of global change impacts, such as climate warming, land-use change, and atmospheric deposition. These effects are often correlated with temporal and spatial beta diversity ...
-
(SPRINGER, 2006-12)The red alga Mazzaella laminarioides is an economically important species with an extended latitudinal distribution along the Chilean coast. Its populations form mid-intertidal stands, several meters wide, and therefore ...
-
(BLACKWELL, 2007-01)The spatial structure of habitats contains physical barriers that restrict the performance of diverse behavioural tasks. In heterogeneous habitats, information acquisition may allow animals to improve the performance of ...
-
(Nature, 2022)The Octodon degus is a South American rodent that is receiving increased attention as a potential model of aging and sporadic late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Impairments in spatial memory tasks in Octodon degus have ...
-
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2006-01-10)Species invasions are a principal component of global change, causing large losses in biodiversity as well as economic damage. Invasion theory attempts to understand and predict invasion success and patterns of spread. ...
-
(GEOLOGICAL SOC AMER, 2007-11)This study uses stable isotope variation within individual Mio-Pliocene paleosols to investigate subkilometer-scale phytogeography of late Miocene vegetation change in southeast Asia between ca. 8.1 and 5 Ma, a time interval ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)Physiological thermal limits of organisms are linked to their geographic distribution. The assessment of such limits can provide valuable insights when monitoring for environmental thermal alterations. Using the dynamic ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012)We present detailed pollen and charcoal records from Lago Pichilafquén (~41°S) to decipher the effects of climate change and varying disturbance regimes on the composition and structure of the vegetation on the Andean ...
-
(SPRINGER, 2008-04)We assessed differences in the development rates among anchoveta, E. ringens populations from the extremes of its range under different temperatures. Time to hatch decreased with increasing temperature but there was no ...
-
(RESILIENCE ALLIANCE, ACADIA UNIV, BIOLOGY DEPT, 2006-06)Although there is general agreement among conservation practitioners about the need for ( 1) social involvement on the part of scientists; ( 2) interdisciplinary approaches; ( 3) working on local, regional, and global ...
-
(Springer, 2015)Correlations among and identification of the source volcanoes for over 60 Late Glacial and Holocene tephras preserved in eight lacustrine sediment cores taken from small lakes near Coyhaique, Chile (46 degrees S), were ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Cheilodactylus variegatus is a common benthivorous marine fish inhabiting in rocky subtidal habitats in the eastern south Pacific coast of Chile and Peru. However, its biology and ecology are relatively understudied and ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)The first Global Assessment of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) found widespread, accelerating declines in Earth's biodiversity and associated benefits to people ...
-
(Wiley, 2014)Aim: To assess the long-term impacts of landscape fire on a mosaic of pyrophobic and pyrogenic woody montane vegetation. Location: South-west Tasmania, Australia. Methods: We undertook a high-resolution multiproxy ...
-
(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 ...
