We determined the seasonal diet of the variable hawk, Geranoaetus polyosoma, in a hyperarid and threatened habitat in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile, by analysing the contents of the bird's pellets. We estimated the biomass and number of individuals of each prey species consumed. We compared ...

The marine fauna of decapod Crustacea, in all its diversity, can be negatively affected as a result of environmental changes, both on a local or a global scale. The present study aims to report the existence of Cyrtograpsus angulatus Dana, 1851, on the northern Patagonian coast, while concurrentl...

Based on the premises that reading comprehension is an essential requisite for the exercise of translation, and considering that, in practice, most of the translation students do not fully address it, this article presents a review of the different proposals of the definition of translation compe...
The objective of the article is to describe and problematize the concept of socialist utopianism in the Chilean context of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries through an analysis of Jorge Baradit’s alternate history novel, Synco. Published in 2008 but chronologically situated in the 1980s, B...

Water-use efficiency (WUE) is a quantitative measurement of biomass produced per volume of water transpired by a plant. WUE is an important physiological trait for drought response to mitigate the water deficiency. In this work, a cisgenic construction from Citrus sinensis was developed and its f...
Background: "Garra de Leon" (Leontochir ovallei) is an ephemeral endangered Alstroemeriaceae species endemic to Chile. Despite many efforts to improve the conservation of this species, the stimulation of dormant seeds and the production of rhizomes under controlled conditions remain unexplored. T...

The use of α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid in freezing medium prevents lipoperoxidation and damage by ROS (reactive oxygen species); however, the effects of these antioxidants in salmonid spermatozoa have not been studied. In this work the protective effects of antioxidants on the enzymatic activi...

In this article we describe basic aspects of the sperm biology of lebranche mullet (Mugil liza) in the wild and in captivity, in particular assessing the effects of salinity (0, 10, 20, 30, 35, 40, 50 and 60 g L−1) and pH (6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) on sperm motility. Our results indicate that the highes...

Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a multivariate statistical analysis technique, utilized to analyze complex patterns of relationships among a set of variables, conduct between-groups and within-groups comparisons, and validate theoretical and empirical models. SEM can be used to answer sever...
