Community isolation drives lower fish biomass and species richness, but higher functional evenness, in a river metacommunity
(Wiley, 2020)
The flow of individuals among communities and their interactions with local environmental filters are increasingly recognised as determinants of biodiversity patterns in riverine ecosystems. Both incoming dispersers and ...
Characterizing the microbiomes of Antarctic sponges: a functional metagenomic approach
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-01-20)
Relatively little is known about the role of sponge microbiomes in the Antarctic marine environment, where sponges may dominate the benthic landscape. Specifically, we understand little about how taxonomic and functional ...
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 ...
Monitoring the occurrence of microplastic ingestion in Otariids along the Peruvian and Chilean coasts
(Elsevier Inc., 2020-04)
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 ...
Microplastic ingestion cause intestinal lesions in the intertidal fish Girella laevifrons
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2020)
We exposed juvenile intertidal fish to different amounts of Poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) microplastics in their diet. We fed ten individuals with pellets containing 0.01 g, another ten fish with pellets containing 0.1 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Structure and vulnerability of the multi-interaction network in macrophyte-dominated lakes
(WILEY, 2020)
The network approach is crucial to understand how ecosystems are structured and how they will respond to the disturbances (e.g. the current global change). We have recreated the multi-interaction network of a shallow ...
Multiple elements of soil biodiversity drive ecosystem functions across biomes
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020)
The role of soil biodiversity in regulating multiple ecosystem functions is poorly understood, limiting our ability to predict how soil biodiversity loss might affect human wellbeing and ecosystem sustainability. Here, ...
Latitudinal patterns in the diet of Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) in Chile: Contrasting environments influencing feeding behavior
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)
Human-dominated environments alter the availability and quality of resources for many species, especially for scavengers that have large home ranges and plastic foraging behaviors that enable them to exploit novel resources. ...
