A paper presenting a conceptual framework for the study of the strength of plant-animal mutualistic interactions has been accepted for publication as a Reviews & Synthesis article in Ecology Letters. This is the result of a collaboration between Diego and…
Nati, with Daniela Rodriguez (IADIZA) and Valeria Aschero (IANIGLA, and former lab member), gave a talk on the scientific inquiry process to participants of the 11th International Junior Science Olympiad, which was held recently in Mendoza. They guided an international audience…
Guadalupe Peralta was awarded a CONICET post-doc fellowship to work on responses of plant-pollinator networks to changes in the abundance of pollinators. She will be supervised by Diego and by Eduardo Bringa (CONICET-UN Cuyo). Lupe comes from a successful Ph.D.…
Micaela Santos has been awarded a CONICET doctoral fellowship to work on habitat and interaction networks in fragmented landscapes. She will be supervised by Diego and by Luciano Cagnolo (CONICET-UN Córdoba). Welcome Mica!
Vero published a paper proposing a novel methodological approach to compare community response to grazing gradients (double reciprocal analysis) in drylands. This analysis allowed for comparison of multi-taxa response under different seasons and management strategies and can be used as…
Vero published a paper in Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment on the ecosystem responses to livestock grazing in drylands, showing that overall community resilience decreases under increasing grazing pressure, regardless of management strategies. The study also showed that a short-period rotational…
Diego has published a paper on the determinants of the microstructure of plant-pollinator networks, in collaboration with Chris Kaiser-Bunbury, Martina Stang and Jaboury Gazhoul. It uses data from the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean and applies structural equation modeling to…
Nati published a paper in PLoS ONE on the spatial and seasonal dynamics of abundance and distribution of guanacos and Livestock. Check it out!
Diego co-authored a paper on the density-dependent impacts of introduced bees on plant reproduction, in collaboration with Marcelo Aizen, Carolina Morales, Lucas Garibaldi, Agustín Sáez and Lawrence Harder.
