Biotransformation of Araucaria araucana lignans: solid-state fermentation with a naturally occurring Pleurotus ostreatus strain

Rodriguésia, 2022
The effects of a naturally occurring Patagonian strain of the white-rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus on Araucaria araucana wood lignans was evaluated. Lignans of colonized and non-colonized wood shavings and the activity of fungal ligninolytic enzymes were

Listening Deeply to Indigenous People: A Collaborative Perspective and Reflection Between a Mapuche Machi and Ecologists. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Two‐eyed seeing offers a way to see with both Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western ecological sciences. In this collaborative perspective piece between ecologists and a Mapuche spiritual authority (a Machi), we interweave lived experiences and ecological evidence to present the alarming social‐ecological devastation and conflict in ...

Growth of male and female Araucaria araucana trees respond differently to regional mast events, creating sex-specific patterns in their tree-ring chronologies

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Araucaria araucana is a dioecious evergreen conifer endemic from temperate forests of south Argentina and Chile. It is a long-lived species (maximum age > 1000 years), and it presents a high potential for tree-ring based climate reconstructions. However,

Native trees are related to advanced bird breeding phenology and increased reproductive success along an urban gradient. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Urban areas are altered from natural landscapes in several ways that can impact wildlife. Birds are widespread in urban areas, and it is well documented that there are phenotypic differences between urban and non‐urban conspecifics. However, little is known about which characteristics of the urban environment are driving differences. We used 9
