Eocene exhumation and basin development in the Puna of northwestern Argentina [PDF]
Tectonics, 2008 The Puna is part of the larger Puna‐Altiplano Plateau (also known as the Central Andean Plateau), characterized by high elevation, low relief, and aridity, located in the central Andes of Bolivia and Argentina. Tertiary sedimentary rocks preserved within the Puna contain a unique archive of information regarding the paleogeography, depositional ...

Isolation of Acanthamoeba Species and Bacterial Symbiont Variability in Puna Salt Plains, Argentina. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepABSTRACT Acanthamoeba spp. are widespread protists that feed on bacteria via phagocytosis. This predation pressure has led many bacteria to evolve strategies to resist and survive inside these protists.

Two New Species of Liolaemus (Iguania: Liolaemidae) from the Puna of Northwestern Argentina
Herpetologica, 2008 Abstract We describe two new species of Liolaemus belonging to the montanus series. The new species are closely related to L. dorbignyi, but are disjunctly distributed with respect to this taxon. Both new species exhibit unique color patterns, which, along with differences in squamation, differentiate the two new taxa from the other species in the ...

Intoxication of llamas by Astragalus punae in Argentina
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2022 Several plants that contain indolizidine alkaloids, including swainsonine, are toxic to livestock, causing dysfunctional lysosomes and storage disease. Swainsonine induces a neurovisceral disease, known as locoism, in sheep, goats, and cattle, which occurs in several parts of the world, including, but not limited to, the western United States, China ...

Aerodynamic Roughness Height of Gravel-covered Plains in the Puna of Argentina
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Abstract Plains covered by gravel-dominated desert pavement in the Puna of Argentina have an aerodynamic roughness height (or length) z 0 of ∼1 cm, likely representing a skimming flow regime above the closely spaced gravel particles. Aerodynamic roughness height locally may transition from that of skimming flow over the

Antecedent controls on the spatial organization of yardangs on the Puna Plateau, north‐western Argentina [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021 AbstractYardangs are streamlined ridges that form in arid environments on Earth and Mars through wind‐driven abrasion of consolidated substrates. Currently, there is limited consensus on the mechanisms that initiate and establish patterns of yardangs on the landscape.
