First report of microplastics presence in the mussel Mytilus chilensis from Ushuaia Bay (Beagle Channel, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina).

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
Microplastics contamination is reported for the first time on Mytilus chilensis from Ushuaia Bay, one of the most remote areas of South America. Our results demonstrate the occurrence of microplastics in all samples, with an average of 8.6 ± 3.53 items ...

Effects of canopy cover and neighboring vegetation on the early development of planted Austrocedrus chilensis and Nothofagus dombeyi in north Patagonian degraded forests

, 2021
Austrocedrus chilensis and Nothofagus dombeyi, are endemic forest species of ecological and productive importance in the Andean-Patagonian region of Argentina. Both species grow in pure or mixed stands. In the last decades, several A.

Microbiota Dysbiosis in Mytilus chilensis Is Induced by Hypoxia, Leading to Molecular and Functional Consequences

Microorganisms
Bivalve microbiota play a vital role in host health, supporting nutrient processing, immunity, and disease resistance. However, the increasing hypoxia in Chilean coastal waters, caused by climate change and eutrophication, threatens to disrupt this ...

Hypoxia in the Blue Mussel Mytilus chilensis Induces a Transcriptome Shift Associated with Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Metabolism, and Immune Response

Genes
The increase in hypoxia events, a result of climate change in coastal and fjord ecosystems, impacts the health and survival of mussels. These organisms deploy physiological and molecular responses as an adaptive mechanism to maintain cellular homeostasis

Satellitome Analysis in the Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis) Genome: Implications for SatDNA Evolution in Charadriiform Birds

Genes
Vanellus (Charadriidae; Charadriiformes) comprises around 20 species commonly referred to as lapwings. In this study, by integrating cytogenetic and genomic approaches, we assessed the satellite DNA (satDNA) composition of one typical species, Vanellus ...

Optimization of Oil and Tocopherol Extraction from Maqui (Aristotelia chilensis (Mol.) Stuntz) by Supercritical CO2 Procedure

Antioxidants
This study focused on the oil extraction from freeze-dried maqui (Aristotelia chilensis) by supercritical fluid extraction with carbon dioxide (SFE-CO2). The basic objective was to optimize the oil yield and the tocopherol concentration.
