| Shepherd’s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris; Brassicaceae) is a global weed. In Chile, this species was introduced early during Spanish colonization, however, previous studies based on allozymes and RAPD fragments, show that populations in southernmost Chile could be related to England populations. Here, we analyze the geographical variation of three sequences of cpSSR in 286 individuals of C. bursa-pastoris (ATCP46615, ATCP66701 and ATCP31017). We collected plants from 14 populations distributed over a wide latitudinal gradient in continental Chile. Only one of the markers showed variation (ATCP31017), evidencing the presence of two haplotypes along the territory. The geographic distribution of these haplotypes support previous studies based on... |

| Fragmentation of the natural environment is a consequence of urbanisation. It impacts the biodiversity of native flora that characterises a region. This study focused on characterising the diversity, composition and distribution of native and alien ruderal species present in different suburbs of Santiago de Chile. We found that plant assemblages of ruderal species were characterised by a higher proportion of alien species (69 taxa), whose original distribution corresponds to the Mediterranean Basin (46 taxa), and a low representation of native species (14 taxa). The results show that the spatial distribution of weeds within Santiago was not random, because two clusters were found based on patterns of compositional similarity. Further research should be... |

| Las plántulas son susceptibles a las condiciones físicas del ambiente, al ataque de patógenos, defoliadores o herbívoros. Los objetivos del estudio fueron determinar el crecimiento y sobrevivencia de las plántulas arbóreas, la proporción de individuos dañados por herbívoros y patógenos, y el efecto de este daño sobre el crecimiento y la sobrevivencia de plántulas del bosque húmedo templado de Chiloé, Chile. La sobrevivencia fue menor en el período de verano y mayor en pleno invierno. Cuando finalizó la fase de monitoreo (11 meses), dos tercios de todas las plántulas sobrevivientes presentaban algún tipo de agresión. Las plántulas con cotiledones presentaban una proporción mayor de plántulas sanas, mientras que aquellas sin cotiledones presentaban una... |

| We review the literature on patterns, causes, processes and impacts of exotic plants, primarily in the mediterranean region of Chile, considering three major non-independent drivers of the invasion process: (a) Availability of exotic species propagules, (b) attributes of the local communities in which exotic species establish and through which they will eventually spread out, and (c) attributes of exotic species that either facilitate or constraint their spread into new sites. Regarding availability of propagules, central Chile matorral presents the communities with the greatest incidence of naturalized herbs, followed by the sclerophyllous forest and the espinal scrubland in the coastal range. In contrast, north-central communities have lower numbers and... |
