Valuing Kelp as Nursery Grounds for Sharks: Influence of Kelp Attributes and Forest Configuration on the Oviposition Site of a Shark Species in Chile

Diversity
In terrestrial environments, nest site selection by birds and mammals is often related to the physical attributes of surrounding vegetation. Similarly, some elasmobranchs use different habitats, including kelps, as oviposition sites.

A risk assessment on Zostera chilensis, the last relict of marine angiosperms in the South-East Pacific Ocean, due to the development of the desalination industry in Chile.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Seagrasses, which are considered among the most ecologically valuable and endangered coastal ecosystems, have a narrowly limited distribution in the south-east Pacific, where Zostera chilensis is the only remaining relict.

Dormancy-break and germination requirements for seeds of the threatened Austral papaya (Carica chilensis)

Scientific Reports, 2023
Seed dormancy is one of the most important adaptive mechanisms in plants, optimizing germination, seedling emergence, and establishment to ensure these processes occur when environmental conditions are favorable for plant survival and growth.

Changes in Diversity and Community Composition of Root Endophytic Fungi Associated with Aristolochia chilensis along an Aridity Gradient in the Atacama Desert

Plants, 2022
Despite the widespread occurrence of fungal endophytes (FE) in plants inhabiting arid ecosystems, the environmental and soil factors that modulate changes in FE diversity and community composition along an aridity gradient have been little explored.

Proximal and fatty acid analysis in Ostrea chilensis, Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus chilensis (Bivalvia: Mollusca) from southern Chile

PLoS ONE, 2022
Oysters and blue mussels are important hydrobiological resources for aquaculture. In Chile, they are farming on the Chiloé island, where around 18% of the world’s mussels are produced, however, their nutritional dynamics are largely unknown.
