The long-eared owl (Asio otus) has a Holarctic distribution, including much of
North America. This nocturnal species is considered to be extremely secretive,
and poorly known in the Great Plains of the United States and Canada, as well as
to México, where no previous studies on its diet have been conducted. We
analyzed 120 pellets collected during January 2007 in roosts in a 2–3 m height

Latitudinal diversity patterns of Chilean coastal fishes: searching for causal processesRevista Chilena de Historia Natural - Tập 87 - Trang 1-11 - 2014
Arturo H Navarrete, Nelson A Lagos, F Patricio Ojeda
Several particular aspects of diversity patterns of Chilean littoral fishes are
still poorly understood, and existing studies within this scope are
fundamentally based on bibliographic compilations. In this study, we use
empirical data to assess whether the diversity patterns of fish fauna along 4000
km of the Chilean coast (20°–55° S)can be explained in relation to the
environmental latitudinal g... hiện toàn bộ
The microbial world in a changing environmentRevista Chilena de Historia Natural - Tập 94 - Trang 1-5 - 2021
Rafael Vicuña, Bernardo González
In this article we would like to touch on the key role played by the microbiota
in the maintenance of a sustainable environment in the entire planet. For
obvious reasons, this article does not intend to review thoroughly this
extremely complex topic, but rather to focus on the main threats that this
natural scenario is presently facing. Recent literature survey. Despite the
relevance of microorgan... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of intestinal parasites in the coexisting Bombus terrestris (Apidae) and Xylocopa augusti (Apidae) in central ChileRevista Chilena de Historia Natural - Tập 93 - Trang 1-6 - 2020
Kiara Fernández, Jennifer Alcaíno, Dionisia Sepúlveda, Rodrigo Medel
Bombus terrestris is a European bumblebee extensively commercialized worldwide
for crop pollination. In Chile, this species was introduced in 1997 and after
confinement escape, it has spread and established in several localities of
central-southern Chile and in the Argentine Patagonia. The South American
carpenter bee Xylocopa augusti, in turn, has been recently reported in central
Chile, and as B... hiện toàn bộ
Prosopis tamarugo Phil.: a native tree from the Atacama Desert groundwater table depth thresholds for conservationRevista Chilena de Historia Natural - Tập 88 - Trang 1-8 - 2015
Gabriela Calderon, Marco Garrido, Edmundo Acevedo
Prosopis tamarugo Phil. is a legume tree native to the Atacama Desert, Chile.
Tamarugo has physiological characteristics that are highly adapted to extreme
life conditions in the Pampa del Tamarugal. Null precipitation makes tamarugo
completely dependent on groundwater, developing in areas where the groundwater
depth is closest to the surface. Groundwater extraction for domestic
consumption, minin... hiện toàn bộ
Host plant specificity of the moth species Glena mielkei (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) in northern ChileRevista Chilena de Historia Natural - Tập 87 - Trang 1-4 - 2014
Felipe Méndez-Abarca, Camila F Méndez, Enrique A Mundaca
Host plant specificity refers to the preference of insects for particular plant
species that allow them to complete their life cycle. Moth species of the
Geometridae family depend closely on the vegetation composition to complete
their life cycles. In northern Chile, the Geometridae species Glena mielkei is
the only species described of the genus Glena. So far, this species has only
been associate... hiện toàn bộ
Nest building and description of parental care behavior in a temperate reef fish, Chromis crusma (Pisces: Pomacentridae)Revista Chilena de Historia Natural - Tập 87 - Trang 1-9 - 2014
Teresa Navarrete-Fernández, Mauricio F Landaeta, Claudia A Bustos, Alejandro Pérez-Matus
Subtle ecological and behavioral mechanisms that enhance reproduction such as
nest building by animals may provide useful information of population level
processes. Variation in behavioral traits may be observed as phenotypic traits
that are shaped by sexual and natural selection. Using ecological sampling of
benthic substrata and underwater video recordings, we assessed nest-building
behavior thr... hiện toàn bộ
Rare, Endangered and Threatened (RET) climbers of Southern Western Ghats, IndiaRevista Chilena de Historia Natural - Tập 89 - Trang 1-5 - 2016
Ariyan Sarvalingam, Arumugam Rajendran
The Mountains of the Western Ghats are the second most important shelter in the
world for threatened species. The current paper is an attempt to study the
conservation assessment of rare, endangered and threatened species (RET) of the
southern Western Ghats. A species is endangered when it is threatened with
extinction. Since time began, countless species have gone extinct from natural
processes. ... hiện toàn bộ
