1. Enhanced soil nutrient availability often favors herbivore performance by bringing the carbon:nutrient ratio of plants closer to herbivore requirements. However, a surplus of nutrients can promote a too low carbon:nutrient ...

In arid environments where soil resources are limiting factors, the presence of soil ecosystem engineers that create new enriched soil habitats can improve the performance of non-native plants growing there. Moreover, these ...

1. Pelagic microbial food webs are structured by zooplankton through grazing and nutrient recycling. Cladocerans and copepods are assumed to have different effects on the microbial loop by grazing on different prey sizes ...

In the Patagonian Andes, glaciers of Tronador Mountain are headwaters of Manso River that drains glacial waters into Lake Mascardi. The river receives different tributaries that differ in turbidity and canopy. In this ...

In this study, we analysed how short term temperature fluctuation interacts with nutrient limitation in the vertical migrating Daphnia commutata. We hypothesize that short term (daily) temperature fluctuation will alleviate ...

Datos primarios correspondientes a nidos de Ratona Común (Troglodytes aedon; Aves) obtenidos en la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The introduction of alien species represents one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Highway construction increases the dispersal and invasion of exotic plant species. This study examined the assembly process ...
