The landscape is the stage of human activity, in which any artificial action rebounds immediately on the perception. Various authors defend the idea of the universality of aesthetic preferences, an idea that is refuted by those who consider cultural and idiosyncratic features as determinant of pe...

Biodiversity is affected by forest monoculturing of exotic species, along with wild habitat loss, appear as the principal causes of the conservation problems affecting wild Chilean bird species. Many of these species do not inhabit Pinus radiata due to its homogeneity and the scarcity of habitabl...

Usually a wetland is presented as a heterogeneous complex, such that any analysis of its aquatic bird diversity should compare different levels (alpha and beta) with the gamma diversity of the landscape. Habitat heterogeneity may affect the structure and composition of these species assemblages, ...

The Puna is a high altitude ecosystem of the Central Andes located in the desert plateaus above 3500 m a.s.l. that covers parts of north-eastern Chile, north-western Argentina, south-eastern Peru and mid-western Bolivia. It is characterised by the presence of endorheic basins. Laguna Lejia is an ...

The Atacama is the world's driest desert. It contains various types of wetlands. In general, the diversity and structure of the zooplankton in these wetlands have been very little studied. The object of the present study was to analyse the specific composition and structure of the zooplankton in ...

The Austral Pygmy Owl (Glaucidium nana) is usually recorded as actively calling and foraging during daylight. We studied the diurnal activity of the Austral Pygmy Owl over I year in Cerro Nielol Natural Monument in southern Chile totaling 339 hrs of observation. The most intense activity was reco...

Bubo magellanicus is a nocturnal raptor with a wide distribution in the southern cone of South America. The diet of B. magellanicus in central Chile was analysed, using the pellet analysis method. Bubo magellanicus was found to consume mainly rodents (44.8%), lagomorphs (22.0%) and birds (23.6%)....

Knowledge of trophic ecology is fundamental for understanding feeding strategies and niche dynamics, which can provide information on the vulnerability and conservation status of some poorly known species, such as Liolaemus monticola, a rock-dwelling lizard endemic to the central Andes of Chile. ...

Background In Chile, three rodent species (O longicaudatus, A olivaceus and A longipilis) are distributed from The Pacific coast to the Andes mountains and represent nearly 90% of the rodents captured in the Xth Region. Aim: To stud)) the seroprevalence of Hantavirus among captured rodent species...

The risk of infection with Hantavirus depends on factors that determine a probability of contagion with the reservoirs: (a) the vegetation structure and the land use as a primary scene, where specific factors such as composition, structure and density of the vegetation describe elements related t...
