Decoupling of biotic and abiotic patterns in a coastal area affected by chronic metal micronutrients disturbances
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2021-05)Coastal systems are highly productive areas for primary productivity and ecosystem services and host a large number of human activities. Since industrialization, metal micronutrients in these regions have increased. ... -
Development and analytical validation of real-time PCR for the detection ofStreptococcus agalactiaein pregnant women
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2020-06)Background Group BStreptococcus(GBS) is the leading cause of invasive neonatal infection. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the analytical validation of qualitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) as a means ... -
Different Pollinators' Functional Traits Can Explain Pollen Load in Two Solitary Oil-Collecting Bees
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-10)Pollinators' features, especially those with a functional role during the pollination process, have been shown to be a good predictor of pollen load for some bee species, but little is known about solitary bees. Here, I ... -
Disentangling demographic co-effects of predation and pollution on population dynamics
(WILEY, 2019)In nature species react to a variety of endogenous and exogenous ecological factors. Understanding the mechanisms by which these factors interact and drive population dynamics is a need for understanding and managing ... -
Distinct oxygen environments shape picoeukaryote assemblages thriving oxygen minimum zone waters off central Chile
(Oxford University Press, 2020-09)Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) support ocean biogeochemical cycles of global importance. The OMZ off central Chile is characterized by seasonally variable oxygen concentrations due to upwelling events. Bacterial and archaeal ... -
Distinctive Archaeal Composition of an Artisanal Crystallizer Pond and Functional Insights Into Salt-Saturated Hypersaline Environment Adaptation
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018)Hypersaline environments represent some of the most challenging settings for life on Earth. Extremely halophilic microorganisms have been selected to colonize and thrive in these extreme environments by virtue of a broad ... -
Eco-hydrological Functions in Forested Catchments of Southern Chile
(Springer New York, 2020-03)Ecosystem functions in forests can vary significantly after disturbance, depending on changes in vegetation structure during succession and soil biophysical characteristics. We examined streamflow regulation, water storage ... -
Effects of long-lasting social isolation and re-socialization on cognitive performance and brain activity: a longitudinal study in Octodon degus
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Social isolation is considered a stressful situation that results in increased physiological reactivity to novel stimuli, altered behaviour, and impaired brain function. Here, we investigated the effects of long-term social ... -
Environment and COVID-19: Pollutants, impacts, dissemination, management and recommendations for facing future epidemic threats
(Elsevier, 2020-12)Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic. Its relationship with environmental factors is an issue that has attracted the attention of scientists and governments. This article aims to deal with a ... -
Environmental signature and health risk assessment of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) emitted from a landfill fire in Santiago de Chile
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-08-01)Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been used as flame retardants in building materials, electronics, furnishings, vehicles, airplanes, plastics, polyurethane foams, and textiles for many years. Currently, the ... -
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 ... -
Exploring Perceived Well-Being from Urban Parks: Insights from a Megacity in Latin America
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Urbanization has impacted biodiversity and ecosystems at a global scale. At the same time, it has been recognized as a driver of the physical and emotional gap between humans and nature. The lack of direct contact with ... -
Exploring the theoretical and practical implications of eigenbehavior at the intersection of second-order cybernetics and ecosystem management
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2023-09-11)In this conceptual paper the authors aim to discuss the implications of a second-order cybernetic approach and eigenbehavior in ecosystem management. The authors argue that traditional management practices rely on the ... -
Fungal Diversity Analysis of Grape Musts from Central Valley-Chile and Characterization of Potential New Starter Cultures
(Univ Mayor, GEMA Ctr Genom Ecol & Environm, Chile, 2020-06)Autochthonous microorganisms are an important source of the distinctive metabolites that influence the chemical profile of wine. However, little is known about the diversity of fungal communities associated with grape ... -
Geographical origin determines responses to salinity of Mediterranean caddisflies
(Public Library of Science, 2020-01-13)Many freshwater ecosystems worldwide, and particularly Mediterranean ones, show increasing levels of salinity. These changes in water conditions could affect abundance and distribution of inhabiting species as well as the ... -
Global ecological predictors of the soil priming effect
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)Identifying the global drivers of soil priming is essential to understanding C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. We conducted a survey of soils across 86 globally-distributed locations, spanning a wide range of climates, ... -
Global homogenization of the structure and function in the soil microbiome of urban greenspaces
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2021-07)The structure and function of the soil microbiome of urban greenspaces remain largely undetermined. We conducted a global field survey in urban greenspaces and neighboring natural ecosystems across 56 cities from six ... -
