(MDPI, 2020)Simple Summary In twin-bearing ewes, undernourishment during pregnancy lowers the birth weight and increases morbidity and mortality of lambs. One of the causes is oxidative stress, which can be prevented by supplementing ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)Simple Summary The knowledge of physiological events associated with canine reproduction involving oocyte developmental potential is essential to increase the success of reproductive biotechnologies in this species. In ...

Factors determining variation in colour morph frequencies in invasive Harmonia axyridis populations (Springer, 2020)The Harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis Pallas, native to eastern Asia, is an invasive, non-native species that has recently achieved an almost worldwide distribution. A conspicuous feature of this species is colour ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)The present review aims to offer a non-comprehensive outline of the current state-of-the-art and future perspectives on management and therapeutic tools for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and associated prenatal ...

(Wiley, 2020)We report the presence of Babesia vogeli in dogs in Chile. During two surveillance campaigns separated by a year, sixty-three blood samples from free-ranging rural dogs in Coquimbo, Chile, were analysed through conventional ...
-
(Amphibian & Reptile Conservation, 2020)Atelopus laetissimus is a bufonid toad that inhabits the mountainous areas of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM), Colombia. This species is endemic and endangered, so information about its ecology and distribution are ...
-
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2020)We found the ear mite parasite (Otodectes cynotis; Acari: Psoroptidae) in two distant insular endangered fox populations in Chile. We identified O. cynotis in both the Darwin's fox (Pseudalopex fulvipes) from Chiloe and ...
-
(Springer, 2020)Land-use change can raise the risk of human exposure to zoonotic diseases by increasing abundance of reservoir hosts. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis on the associations between land-use change and the abundance ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)National governments are moving to integrate risk analysis frameworks into food safety management systems at the country level. However, this process is less advanced in developing countries. In this context, the Chilean ...
-
(National Shellfiheries Association, 2020)To ensure the maintenance of natural mussel beds along the southeastern Pacific coast of Chile, it is important to understand their population dynamics. This means evaluating their genetic population structure and gene ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)Simple Summary Population control of free-roaming dogs is a topic of great interest worldwide. Immunocastration (immune blockade of GnRH-I, the hormone that commands reproductive ability) has emerged as a complementary ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is the main native fish farmed in South American continental aquaculture. One of the major pathogens affecting world fresh water aquaculture is the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila, which ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Repeated reports of microplastic pollution in the marine pinniped diet have emerged in the last years. However, only few studies address the drivers of microplastics presence and the potential implications for monitoring ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2020)The introduction of wild Atlantic salmon into captivity, and their subsequent artificial selection for production traits, has caused phenotypic differences between domesticated fish and their wild counterparts. Identification ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)To successfully infect, Trypanosome cruzi evades and modulates the host immune response. T. cruzi calreticulin (TcCalr) is a multifunctional, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident chaperone that, translocated to the external ...
-
(Springer, 2020)Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the second most important farmed fish in the world and a sustainable source of protein for human consumption. Several genetic improvement programs have been established for this ...
-
(Soc Chilena Nutrición, 2020)The objective of this review was to compare the nutritional characteristics and quality of tinamou eggs. Tinamou eggs have less ether extract and protein in the yolk, they also have a similar quantity of protein in the egg ...
-
(Springer, 2020)Context Although saproxylic beetles use deadwood in industrial exotic forest plantations, deadwood and historical land use patterns may interact among each other making difficult the implementation sustainable management ...
