Recruitment patterns in four species of Physaria (Brassicaceae): implications for maintenance of population density over time in both native and cultivated stands

open access: yesEcología Austral, 2016
Seedling recruitment is a critical stage of a plant’s cycle which determines population viability, the potential for invasiveness of a plant species and the success of establishment of a crop, among other processes.

Influence of the physical structure of an invasive barnacle in structuring macroinvertebrate assemblages

open access: yesEcología Austral, 2017
Many invertebrate species use the microhabitats generated by barnacles to settle and to avoid predation and desiccation. In Argentina, the acorn barnacle Balanus glandula not only colonizes rocky shores but has also successfully invaded soft bottom salt

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

Industrialization and ethnic change in the Lower Chubut Valley, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Ethnologist, 1978
The study of ethnicity must involve a social as well as a cultural component. I argue that ethnic salience relates to the connection between the ethnic group and changes in the wider economic structure. Drawing upon data from the Lower Chubut Valley, Argentina, I demonstrate that economic development has involved the loss of hegemony by the Welsh ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it
