Emergent trophic interactions following the Chinook salmon invasion of Patagonia
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022 Abstract In their native range, Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) have strong interactions with a multitude of species due to the annual pulse of marine‐derived nutrients that they deliver to streams and forests when they spawn and die. Over the past few decades, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) has established non‐native populations ...

Monitoring vertebrate biodiversity of a protected coastal wetland using eDNA metabarcoding
Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 77-92, January 2022., 2022 We test an eDNA metabarcoding assay as a tool to characterize vertebrate biodiversity in one of the largest coastal wetlands of Chile. We sampled surface water from 49 sites along the entire length of the wetland and detect 91 genera of vertebrates including amphibians, fishes, mammals, and birds. Our results also indicate that the spatial distribution

Wild narrow‐striped mongooses use social information to enhance behavioural flexibility
Ethology, Volume 127, Issue 3, Page 253-266, March 2021., 2021 In female narrow‐striped mongooses (Mungotictis decemlineata), we measured neophobia and inhibitory control using novel object tests and a transparent cylinder task, respectively. Additionally, we assessed individual performances in discrimination and reversal learning tasks.

Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2015 The uropygial glands of birds are sebaceous organs that contribute to the water-repellent properties of the feather coat. We studied the histological and histochemical characteristics of the uropygial gland of chimango caracara using hematoxylin and eosin (H & E), Gomori´s trichrome, orcein, Gomori´s reticulin, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), Alcian blue ...
