SEM study of Sandersiella chilenica sp.nov. (Cephalocarida), with a review of the Integumentary Structures and Functional Adaptations in the Group
Provedor de dados: Gayana
Autores: Stuardo,José R; Vega,René.
The Cephalocarid, Sandersiella chilenica sp. nov. from Coliumo Bay, Central Chile ( 36º 32' S lat.; 72º56' W long) is described. The new species was collected at only one bottom station (station 4) in a grid of 11 stations sampled monthly during 1982-83, with predominating fractions of fine sand, silt and clay. Four other species of the genus are so far known (Sandersiella acuminata Shiino 1965, and S.kikuchii Shimomura &amp;amp; Akiyama, 2008, from Japan, S. calmani Hessler &amp;amp; Sanders 1973 from off Perú, and S. bathyalis Hessler &amp;amp; Sanders 1973, from Walvis Ridge, and off Namibia, SE Atlantic, and off Santos, Brazil). S. chilenica sp. nov, is differentiated from each of these by its comparatively greater maximal length, its shorter and...

A new species of Telmatobufo (Schmidt 1852) (Anura, Calyptocephalellidae) from a remnant of the Maulino Forest, central Chile
Provedor de dados: Gayana
Autores: Cuevas,César C.
A new species, Telmatobufo ignotus, from the Reserva Nacional Los Queules, Cauquenes Province, central Chile is described herein. The new taxon is hypothesized based on a new combination of adult, larval, and chromosomal characters. The new species present the more septentrional distribution on the coastal range and a very restrictive distribution area compared to its congeners; because of this, taxonomic and conservation comments are discussed and advanced.

Downward fluxes of particulate organic matter in coastal and oceanic areas off Chile: The role of the OMZ and functional groups of the plankton
Provedor de dados: Gayana
Autores: González,H E; Daneri,G; Menschel,E; Marchant,M; Pantoja,S; Hebbeln,D; Barria,C; Vera,R; Iriarte,J.
Vertical fluxes of particles have been estimated during the last decade in coastal and oceanic systems off central-southern Chile. Free-drifting, cylindrical sediment traps have been deployed below the mixing layer from coastal areas, while automatic, cone-shaped sediment traps have been anchored in deep oceanic areas. Vertical fluxes toward 2300 m depth off Coquimbo were dominated by calcium carbonate (~70 mg m-2 d-1) instead of particulate organic carbon (POC ~7 mg m-2 d-1), where foraminifers (Neogloboquadrina pachyderma) and faecal pellets of Euphausia mucronata and Oikopleura spp, played important roles as vehicles for carbonate and carbon, respectively. In coastal upwelling systems, (i. e. Concepción), the dominant vertical flux was POC, mainly...

Negative photoblastism in the invasive specie Eschscholzia californica Cham. (Papaveraceae): Patterns of altitudinal variation in native and invasive range
Provedor de dados: Gayana Botánica
Autores: Castillo,María L.C; Bustamante,Ramiro O; Peña-Gómez,Francisco T; Gutiérrez,Víctor L; Reyes,Claudio A; Arredondo-Núñez,Alicia; Marey,Marilyn.
Negative photoblastism is defined as the inhibitory effect of light on seed germination. This effect can be modulated by abiotic variables, such as temperature, light condition and water potential. This conditions change notoriously at higher altitudes, could promote differentiations in the photoblastic response among populations. Also, this physiological attribute poses an interesting conflict for plant regeneration, because prevents seed germination on the soil surface, however, it can also to reduce the mortality of seeds germinants in unsuitable conditions and consequently, seedling mortality. Eschscholzia californica is one of the few species with negative photoblastism and it is invasive in Chile, growing primarily in open and disturbed places. Some...

Meiofauna and sedimentary organic matter off Central Chile: response to changes caused by the 1997-1998 El Nino
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Neira, C; Sellanes, J; Soto, A; Gutierrez, D; Gallardo, Va.
Quantitative surveys of metazoan meiofauna were carried out in an upwelling region off Central Chile (36 degreesS). During May 1997 and May 1998, coinciding with the onset and end of Fl Nino, five benthic stations (respectively 27, 34, 64, 88, and 120 m depth), from the middle of Concepcion Bay to the edge of the adjacent continental shelf, were sampled. The sedimentary organic matter biopolymeric fraction (proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) and chloroplastic pigments were also assessed. Total meiofauna abundance and biomass increased significantly between sampling dates at the mid-bay and inner shelf sites, from 1474 +/- 354 to 5035 +/- 291 individuals 10 cm(-2) and from 2618 +/- 332 to 5241 +/- 903 individuals 10 cm(-2), respectively. The relative...

The effect of physical and chemical parameters on the macroinfaunal community structure of San Vicente bay, Chile
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: SIEMENS,ROCÍO A.; MUDGE,STEPHEN M.; CANCINO,JUAN M.
San Vicente bay is a heavily industrialised bay located in central Chile, which has a sand beach extending from an area of recreational use in the south to an area of industrial use and discharge in the north. A survey of the macrofauna in the intertidal zone revealed a non-homogeneous distribution; a maximum of five invertebrate species were found with all five only occurring in one of six transects down the beach. The density ranged from 0 to 188 individuals m-2, with the highest density at the recreational end. The most common species, Emerita analoga (Stimpson), was chosen to study the macrofaunal response to beach morphodynamics, physicochemical parameters and metal concentrations. The E. analoga distribution was not significantly correlated with the...

Altitudinal zonation among lizards of the genus Liolaemus: questions answered and unanswered questions
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: CAROTHERS,JOHN H.; JAKSIC,FABIÁN M.; MARQUET,PABLO A.
We review factors influencing Liolaemus distributions in the central Chilean Andes and suggest areas of future research. Our previous studies reveal that lizard parasites (ectoparasitic mites and ticks, and the endoparasite Plasmodium) do not set Liolaemus altitudinal limits. Thermal tolerances do not appear to limit altitudinal distributions, although cold ambient temperatures dictate that only live-bearing species can occur above 2,400 m elevation. Three Liolaemus species specialize on elevationally restricted microhabitats. Liolaemus tenuis is found exclusively in or at the base of trees, which are typically below 1,800 m. Liolaemus leopardinus specializes on large rocky outcrops found at high altitudes. Liolaemus monticola uses smaller rocks: oviparity...

Crypsis in early benthic phases of Brachyuran Decapod Crustaceans in central Chile
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: PALMA,ÁLVARO T.; ORREGO,CAEL; ARRIAGADA,MAURICIO.
Although common and in some cases of commercial value, little is known about the mechanisms and processes that affect the distribution and abundance of many species of decapod crustaceans, particularly in Chile. All of these species have planktonic larvae that must settle and recruit before becoming part of the adult segments of their populations. For several of these species we have detected the presence of a variety of color morphs in newly settled individuals. The existence of these morphs in Chilean species is comparable with those observed in other latitudes (e.g., coast of the Gulf of Maine). On the other hand, it is characteristic that the occurrence of these patterns only appears during the early juvenile stages and that after reaching a certain...

A time-energy analysis of daytime surface activity in degus, Octodon degus
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: Kenagy,G.J.; Vásquez,Rodrigo A.; Nespolo,Roberto F.; Bozinovic,Francisco.
We present an analysis of time and energy allocation in a day-active caviomorph rodent, the degu, Octodon degus, in central Chile. We quantified components of surface activity in the field on a daily basis in individual degus near the time of the summer solstice, when conditions of heat and aridity were also at a seasonal extreme, in order to answer the following questions. Does the absolute time available for surface activity limit performance? Does the allocation of time and energy for locomotion place a functionally significant limitation on overall energy balance and performance? Degus spent about 2/3 of their above-ground time foraging; they remained stationary about 88 % of the time, walked around slowly about 10 %, and were running rapidly from one...

Fire regimen and spread of plants naturalized in central Chile
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: CONTRERAS,TOMÁS E; FIGUEROA,JAVIER A; ABARCA,LUIS; CASTRO,SERGIO A.
Setting fires is an old practice of land management in the Mediterranean region of central Chile. Fire in the region is currently of predominantly human origin and previously published material suggests that the scheduling of these activities is associated with the spread of naturalized exotic species. Research into the effects of fire on both native and exotic Mediterranean vegetation in central Chile has increased notably over recent years. The objective of our review is to highlight new knowledge in this area of research from the last 30 years and to contribute to systematization and an explicit conceptual model which takes into account the effect of a fire regimen on the spread of exotic plants and the mechanisms involved. We begin with analyses of the...

Conservation of biodiversity in private lands: are Chilean landowners willing to keep threatened species in their lands?
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: Zorondo-Rodríguez,Francisco; Reyes-García,Victoria; Simonetti,Javier A.
BACKGROUND: The biological conservation in private lands largely depends upon landowners' willingness to keep populations of wild species on them, an issue highlighted by the Convention on Biological Diversity. In this study, we aim (i) to understand small landowners' behavioural intentions, or relative intensity to adopt a given behaviour, towards threatened wildlife and (ii) to assess the role of local ecological knowledge, awareness of protected area, and forest ownership on landowners' behavioural intentions towards threatened biodiversity. We interviewed peasants living around Los Queules National Reserve in Central Chile. RESULTS: Interview results showed that behavioural intentions towards threatened species were species-dependant. Results also...

Altitudinal vegetation belts in the high-Andes of central Chile (33°S)
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: Cavieres,Lohengrin A.; Peñaloza,Alejandro; Kalin Arroyo,Mary.
The limits of alpine vegetation belts have been established mainly based on physiognomic criteria. However, a more objective approach for fixing limits of vegetation belts are methods based on species composition and relative abundance of each species. While these methods are more time consuming, they are more detailed and permit the detection of physical factors affecting the limits of vegetation belts. In this paper we: 1) describe the altitudinal changes of vegetation above timberline, 2) compare vegetation belts defined with physiognomy and two floristic methods (a qualitative one based on altitudinal changes in species composition, and a quantitative one based on changes in dominant species); and 3) detect some environmental factors responsible for...

Galler-induced reduction of shoot growth and fruit production in the shrub Colliguaja integerrima (Euphorbiaceae)
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: GONZÁLES,WILFREDO L.; CABALLERO,PAULA P.; MEDEL,RODRIGO.
We evaluated experimentally the effect of a gall-maker insect on vegetative and reproductive traits of the shrub Colliguaja integerrima (Euphorbiaceae). We performed two experiments: (1) a chemical (insecticide) exclusion to prevent gall formation, and (2) a mechanical removal of new galls at the early stage to prevent gall growth. In the study area, galled shrubs were common (77 %). Because the pattern of insect attack may influence plant fitness, the distribution of egg clusters deposited by the galler and the number of galls among shrubs were also evaluated. Fruit production was inversely associated with the number of galls, but did not correlate with shrub height, shrub cover, and number of shoots. Ungalled shoots were longer than galled shoots after...

The effect of heat and smoke on the emergence of exotic and native seedlings in a Mediterranean fire-free matorral of central Chile
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: FIGUEROA,JAVIER A; CAVIERES,LOHENGRIN A.
We studied the effect of heat shock and wood-fueled smoke on the emergence of native and exotic plant species in soil samples obtained in an evergreen matorral of central Chile that has been free of fire for decades. It is located on the eastern foothills of the Andes Range in San Carlos de Apoquindo. Immediately after collection samples were dried and stored under laboratory conditions. For each two transect, ten samples were randomly chosen, and one of the following treatments was applied: (1) heat-shock treatment, (2) plant-produced smoke treatment, (3) combined heat-and-smoke treatment, and (4) control, corresponding to samples not subjected to treatment. Twenty-seven species, representing 13 families, emerged from the soil samples. The most abundant...

Holocene distribution of Octodontid rodents in central Chile
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: SAAVEDRA,BÁRBARA; SIMONETTI,JAVIER A.
We describe the Holocene distribution of the Octodontids Aconaemys fuscus, Octodon bridgesi, O. degus, O. lunatus, O. pacificus and Spalacopus cyanus from Central Chile. We compared ancient and present day ranges. The Holocene pattern was inferred from zooarchaeological records. Octodon degus, O. lunatus, O. bridgesi, and Aconaemys fuscus showed a reduction in their geographic range. Although specific mechanisms remain to be tested, human disturbance seems to be the distal factor that explains the reduction of ranges for some taxa.

Water Erosion Prediction Using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) in a GIS Framework, Central Chile
Provedor de dados: Chilean Journal of Agricultural Research
Autores: Bonilla,Carlos A; Reyes,José L; Magri,Antoni.
Soil erosion is a growing problem in Central Chile, particularly in coastal dry lands, where it can significantly decrease the productivity of rainfed agriculture and forestry. In this study, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS), and used to evaluate the effects of different combinations of vegetative cover on soil erosion rates for Santo Domingo County in Central Chile. Implementing RUSLE in the GIS required a complete description of the county’s soils, climate, topography and current land use/land cover. This information was compiled in rasters of 25 x 25 m cells. RUSLE parameter values were assigned to each cell and annual soil loss estimates were generated on a cell by cell basis....
