Exclusion of Small Mammals and Lagomorphs Invasion Interact with Human-Trampling to Drive Changes in Topsoil Microbial Community Structure and Function in Semiarid Chile
(Facultad de Ciencias, 2018)
Species losses and additions can disrupt the relationship between resident species and the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Persistent human-trampling, on the other hand, can have similar effects through the ...
Changes in belowground biodiversity during ecosystem development
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019)
Belowground organisms play critical roles in maintaining multiple ecosystem processes, including plant productivity, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Despite their importance, however, we have a limited understanding ...
Metabolic potential and in situ transcriptomic profiles of previously uncharacterized key microbial groups involved in coupled carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycling in anoxic marine zones
(WILEY, 2018)
Anoxic marine zones (AMZs) impact biogeochemical cycles at the global scale, particularly the nitrogen cycle. Key microbial players from AMZs have been identified, but the majority remains unrecognized or uncharacterized. ...
Ostreococcus tauri Luminescent Reporter Lines as Biosensors for Detecting Pollution From Copper-Mine Tailing Effluents in Coastal Environments
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018)
Phytoplankton cells are excellent biosensors for environmental monitoring and toxicity assessments in different natural systems. Green algae, in particular, appear to be more responsive to copper (Cu) disturbances. This ...
Multiple mating is linked to social setting and benefits the males in a communally rearing mammal
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2019)
Individuals in social species may mate with multiple opposite-sex individuals, including members of the same or different social groups. This variation may be linked to genetic benefits, where multiple mating decreases ...
Temperature modulates Fischerella thermalis ecotypes in Porcelana Hot Spring
(ELSEVIER GMBH, URBAN & FISCHER VERLAG, 2018)
In the Porcelana Hot Spring (Northern Patagonia), true-branching cyanobacteria are the dominant primary producers in microbial mats, and they are mainly responsible for carbon and nitrogen fixation. However, little is known ...
Temporal variation in the influence of forest succession on caterpillar communities: A long-term study in a tropical dry forest
(WILEY, 2019)
Forest succession can influence herbivore communities through changes in host availability, plant quality, microclimate, canopy structure complexity and predator abundance. It is not well known, however, if such influence ...
Empathy and socially responsible consumption: an experiment with the vote-with-the-wallet game
(SPRINGER, 2020-11)
We study by means of a laboratory experiment the role of individuals' empathy in the Vote-with-the-Wallet Game. Our main purpose is to analyze the impact of the ability to empathize on participants' behavior when asked to ...
La continuidad del neoliberalismo en Chile: Ideas, instituciones e intereses
(Universidade de Brasília. Departamento de Estudos Latino-Americanos (ELA), 2019-04)
Desde la aplicación de la terapia de shock dirigida por Augusto Pinochet y sus Chicago Boys, Chile se transformó en un caso ejemplar para el estudio del neoliberalismo. A pesar de las correcciones introducidas a partir del ...
Concentration of human capital, externalities and the wage gap in US metro areas
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2020-11)
The effects of the concentration of human capital on wages and productivity have been widely studied, but despite their heterogeneity, little attention has been paid to its effects on the wage gap. This paper assesses the ...
