    • Banco de semillas en los andes desérticos de Chile 
      Squeo, Francisco A.; Arroyo, Mary T. K.; Jara, Paola A.; León, Mario; Olivares, Nancy C. (Ediciones Universidad de La Serena, 2006)
    • Bofedales: high altitude peatlands of the central Andes 
      Squeo, Francisco A.; Warner, Barry; Aravena, Ramón; Espinoza, Diana (SOCIEDAD BIOLOGIA CHILE, 2006-06)
      There is an exceptional group of alpine peatlands in the world situated in the and grasslands of the central Andes. The peatlands in northern Chile occur in the most arid part of their range. Members of the Juncaceae are ...
    • Bottom-up control of consumers leads to top-down indirect facilitation of invasive annual herbs in semiarid Chile 
      Madrigal, Jaime; Kelt, Douglas A.; Meserve, Peter L.; Gutiérrez, Julio R.; Squeo, Francisco A. (ECOLOGICAL SOC AMER, 2011-02)
      The abundance of exotic plants is thought to be limited by competition with resident species (including plants and generalist herbivores). In contrast, observations in semiarid Chile suggest that a native generalist rodent, ...
    • Ciencias ambientales: diagnóstico y mirada hacia el futuro 
      Arroyo, Mary T. K.; Armesto, Juan J.; Bozinovic, Francisco; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Gutiérrez, Julio R.; Latorre, Claudio; Marquet, Pablo A.; Soto, Doris; Squeo, Francisco A. (Academia Chilena de Ciencias, 2005)
    • El hotspot chileno, prioridad mundial para la conservación. Diversidad de ecosistemas, ecosistemas terrestres 
      Arroyo, Mary T. K.; Marquet, Pablo A.; Marticorena, Clodomiro; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Squeo, Francisco A.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés; Rozzi, Ricardo; Massardo, Francisca (2006)
    • Extreme climatic events shape arid and semiarid ecosystems 
      Holmgren, Milena; Stapp, Paul; Dickman, Chris R.; Gracia, Carlos; Graham, Sonia; Gutiérrez, Julio R.; Hice, Christine; Jaksic, Fabián; Kelt, Douglas A.; Letnic, Mike; Lima, Mauricio; López, Bernat C.; Meserve, Peter L.; Milstead, W. Bryan; Polis, Gary A.; Previtali, M. Andrea; Richter, Michael; Sabaté, Santi; Squeo, Francisco A. (ECOLOGICAL SOC AMER, 2006-03)
      Climatic changes associated with the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can have a dramatic impact on terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, but especially on arid and semiarid systems, where productivity is strongly limited ...
    • Herbivory and plant growth rate determine the success of El Nino Southern Oscillation-driven tree establishment ... 
      Holmgren, Milena; López, Bernat C.; Gutiérrez, Julio R.; Squeo, Francisco A. (BLACKWELL, 2006-12)
      While climatic extremes are predicted to increase with global warming, we know little about the effect of climatic variability on biome distribution. Here, we show that rainy El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events can ...
    • Interacciones ecológicas en la alta montaña del Valle del Elqui 
      Squeo, Francisco A.; Cepeda P., Jorge; Olivares, Nancy C.; Arroyo, Mary T. K. (Universidad de La Serena, 2006)
      El entendimiento de un ecosistema requiere conocer no sólo su estructura, sino que también es fundamental entender cómo sus distintos componentes interactúan. En este capítulo se integran muchos de nuestros resultados ...
    • Productividad y diversidad florística de la Vega Tambo, Cordillera de Doña Ana 
      Squeo, Francisco A.; Ibacache, Eric; Warner, Barry; Espinoza, Diana; Aravena, Ramón; Gutiérrez, Julio R. (Ediciones Universidad de L a Serena, 2006)
      En este trabajo se describen algunas características generales de los humedales, con énfasis en las vegas andinas. En particular, se muestran los resultados de varios estudios realizados entre los años 1994 y 2003 en la ...
    • Reduced herbivore pressure under rainy ENSO conditions could facilitate dryland reforestation 
      Gutiérrez, Julio R.; Holmgren, Milena; Manrique, Rosa; Squeo, Francisco A. (ACADEMIC PRESS LTD ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2007-01)
      Most semi-arid and and regions around the world have lost a major part of their original vegetation.. Restoration of once shrublands and woodlands is often challenged by low seedling establishment success due to water ...
    • Reduced herbivory during simulated ENSO rainy events increases native herbaceous plants in semiarid Chile 
      Manrique, Rosa; Gutiérrez, Julio R.; Holmgren, Milena; Squeo, Francisco A. (SPRINGER, 2007-07)
      El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events have profound consequences for the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems. Since increased climate variability is expected to favour the invasive success of exotic species, we conducted ...
    • A synthesis of ENSO effects on drylands in Australia, North America and South America 
      Holmgren, Milena; Stapp, Paul; Dickman, Chris R.; Gracia, Carlos; Graham, Sonia; Gutiérrez, Julio R.; Hice, C.; Jaksic, Fabián; Kelt, Douglas A.; Letnic, Mike; Lima, Mauricio; López, Bernat C.; Meserve, Peter L.; Milstead, W.

    • Tree establishment along an ENSO experimental gradient in the Atacama desert 
      Squeo, Francisco A.; Holmgren, Milena; Jiménez, Milagros; Alban, Luis; Reyes, José; Gutiérrez, Julio R. (OPULUS PRESS UPPSALA AB, 2007-04)
      Questions: (1) What are the roles of regional climate and plant growth rate for seedling establishment during ENSO rainy pulses along the western coast of South America? (2) What is the water threshold for tree seedling ...
