A novel approach to assess biodiversity response to grazing in drylands
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…
Ecosystem responses to livestock grazing in drylands
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…
Paper on microstructure of plant-pollinator networks
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…
Dynamics of guanaco-livestock interactions
Nati published a paper in PLoS ONE on the spatial and seasonal dynamics of abundance and distribution of guanacos and Livestock. Check it out!
Review on impacts of introduced bees
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.
Phylogenetic tree shape and mutualistic networks
Diego co-authored a paper published in the Journal of Ecology, in collaboration with Scott Chamberlain, Luisa Carvalheiro, Elizabeth Elle and Jana Vamosi, evaluating how phylogenetic tree shape influences the structure of mutualistic networks.
Land use intensification and plant-pollinator networks
Hugo published a paper on the effects of land use intensification on plant-pollinator networks. This is one of the chapters of Hugo’s doctoral dissertation, which he developed at the University of Buenos Aires, before joining our lab as a post-doc.
Stability-diversity relationship in floral resources
A new paper on the diversity-stability relationship in floral resources is out in Oikos. This is one of Jimena Dorado’s doctoral thesis. Really cool stuff. Check it out!
