Seasonal Turnover and Functional Structure of the Foliar Mycobiota in a Gondwanan Temperate Forest Keystone Tree [PDF]
Journal of FungiFungal communities inhabiting leaves are key players in ecosystem processes but remain largely unexplored in Southern Hemisphere temperate forests. We characterized the foliar mycobiota of Nothofagus pumilio, a dominant deciduous tree in Patagonian ...

Influence of droughts on Nothofagus pumilio forest decline across northern Patagonia, Argentina
Ecosphere, 2016 Understanding the influence of climatic variations on forest decline is a major challenge for scientists investigating global changes. Although reductions in tree growth have previously been associated with forest decline, comprehensive efforts to ...

Assessing the role of foliar habit on nutrient losses in a sub-Antarctic forest. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Biogeochemical cycles drive global biodiversity and plant productivity. In terrestrial ecosystems, nutrient losses through plants' litter are a critical component of these biogeochemical cycles. In forests, nutrient losses are thought to be higher in deciduous angiosperm species than in evergreen conifers.

Complex History of Organellar Introgression in <i>Nothofagus</i> Trees: Chloroplast and Mitochondrial Capture Facilitated by Natural Selection. [PDF]
Ecol EvolField photograph of an ancient Nothofagus tree covered with epiphytic lichens in the Patagonian temperate rainforest. This genus serves as a key model for investigating organellar introgression and evolutionary genomics in South America. ABSTRACT Hybridization is widespread across diverse groups of organisms, and in some cases, organellar genomes of ...

Diversity-Elevation Relationships of Vascular Plants in Austral Temperate Ecosystems Are Strata Dependent. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated diversity patterns of vascular plants of overstorey and understorey vegetation separately per stratum and the influence of anthropogenic disturbances along two elevational transects with contrasting slope aspects in a temperate rainforest and alpine scrub in southern Chile.

The Southernmost Known Population of the Monito Del Monte, <i>Dromiciops gliroides</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA range extension for a relict south American marsupial. ABSTRACT The monito del monte (genus Dromiciops) is a small arboreal marsupial endemic to the temperate rainforests of southern South America, and the sole extant representative of the order Microbiotheria. This lineage, considered a sister group of Australian marsupials, is of great evolutionary,

Phylogenetic relationships and time-calibration of the South American fossil and extant species of southern beeches (Nothofagus) [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2018 The genus Nothofagus is considered as one of the most interesting plant genera, not only for the living species but also due to the fossil evidence distributed throughout the Southern Hemisphere. Early publications postulated a close relationship between
