A country's response to tackling plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems: The Chilean way
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2021)
Marine plastic pollution is worse than expected, and we are starting to realize its full extent and severity. Solving the plastic pollution problem is not easy, as it requires the action and commitment of all sectors of ...
Insights into gene expression responses to infections in teleosts using microarray data: a systematic review
(Blackwell Publishing Asia, 2021-01)
The rapid growth of production in aquaculture in the last decades has brought unwanted consequences affecting fish health and increasing the susceptibility to different infections. This systematic review aimed to analyse ...
Time-Based Systems Biology Approaches to Capture and Model Dynamic Gene Regulatory Networks
(ANNUAL REVIEWS, 2021-07-19)
All aspects of transcription and its regulation involve dynamic events. However, capturing these dynamic events in gene regulatory networks (GRNs) offers both a promise and a challenge. The promise is that capturing and ...
Tomato Cultivars With Variable Tolerances to Water Deficit Differentially Modulate the Composition and Interaction Patterns of Their Rhizosphere Microbial Communities
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-07-13)
Since drought is the leading environmental factor limiting crop productivity, and plants have a significant impact in defining the assembly of plant-specific microbial communities associated with roots, we aimed to determine ...
High-frequency monitoring of hydrological and biogeochemical fluxes in forested catchments of southern Chile
(WILEY, 2021-05)
The variability of rainfall-dependent streamflow at catchment scale modulates many ecosystem processes in wet temperate forests. Runoff in small mountain catchments is characterized by a quick response to rainfall pulses ...
Invasion dynamics of the European bumblebee Bombus terrestris in the southern part of South America
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-07-27)
Invasive species are one of the main biodiversity loss drivers. Some species can establish and thrive in novel habitats, impacting local communities, as is the case of managed pollinators. In this regard, an invasive ...
Assessing Ecological Indicators for Remnant Vegetation Strips as Functional Biological Corridors in Chilean Vineyards
(MDPI, 2021-09)
Mediterranean central Chile is globally recognized as a hotspot for terrestrial biodiversity due to its high endemism and massive habitat loss. However, within the rural landscape of central Chile, significant extents of ...
Socioecological conditions predict degu social instability and provide limited cues to forecast subsequent breeding conditions
(SPRINGER, 2021-05)
Permanent changes in group membership may result in detrimental fitness effects on both group residents and immigrants. Factors associated with this form of social instability are rarely documented. We used a 15-year dataset ...
Spatial distribution and interannual variability of coastal fog and low clouds cover in the hyperarid Atacama Desert and implications for past and present Tillandsia landbeckii ecosystems
(SPRINGER WIEN, 2021-10)
The hyperarid Atacama Desert coast receives scarce moisture inputs mainly from the Pacific Ocean in the form of marine advective fog. The collected moisture supports highly specialized ecosystems, where the bromeliad ...
Avoiding artifacts when varying the number of species in ecological models
(WILEY, 2021-09)
Ecological theory recognizes the importance of the variety of species for maintaining the functioning of ecosystems and their derived services. We assert that when studying the effects of shifts in biodiversity levels using ...
