Urban development modifies the habitat of reptiles where we expect, the individuals to select available sites with the quality necessary for their permanence. The aim of this study was to determine the variables that favored the habitat selection and abundance of The Zapallaren Tree Iguana Liolaemus zapallarensis, an endemic species of Chile, during a winter season in Changa beach, Coquimbo, in northern Chile. Between June and September 2017, we made 30 random visits to 18 plots of 900 m2 each. We estimated a resource selection probability function for presence-absence and abundance data using local habitat (e.g. slope, distance from the protection wall to the sea at low tide, interior height of the wall, mean height of the vegetation, rocky surface, and vegetal surface) and climatic variables (temperature, atmospheric pressure, direction and wind speed, solar radiation, and mean cloudiness) as predictors. Vegetation cover was the most important habitat variable explaining the presence of L. zapallarensis. In addition, increase in cloudiness and wind speed decreased the probability of selection. Manly’s selectivity measure varied according to the established home ranges and the availability ratios within them. Finally, increase in cloudiness and wind speed decreased the abundance. Overall, our results show that the characteristics related to habitat and local climate influences the resource selection that favors the survival of reptiles. This work shows that beach sectors in urban contexts under anthropic pressure have important available resources that favor the presence and abundance of reptiles.

The postembryonic development, and life table parameters of the Neoseiulus californicus were studied under laboratory conditions in order to evaluate the potentiality of this depredator for feeding on two phytophages mites Tetranychus desertorum (desert spider mite) and Panonychus citri (red spider mite). Tetranychus desertorum and P. citri may be considered as optimal food for N. californicus, which obtained survival rates of 100 %, on them. The time of the postembryonic development was significantly different (p < 0.05) between both diets. The periods of ovoposition, postoviposition and longevity of the N. californicus were 17.17; 4.37 and 22.53 days, respectively, fed with T. desertorum, and 14.84; 5.23 and 21.06 days, respectively, fed with P. citri. The demographic parameters of N. californicus obtained fed with T. desertorum and P. citri were: intrinsic rate of increase (rm) = 0.269±0.004 and 0.307±0.004, mean generation time (T) = 12.847±0.185 and 10.791±0.142, net reproductive rate (Ro) = 31.792±1.478 and 27.352±1.187, finite rate of increase (λ) = 1.309±0.006 and 1.359±0.006, respectively. The high values of rm and λ registered for N. californicus under experimental conditions are indicators of control potential that this phytoseiid presented as a predator over these phytophages mites.

Bird nests are specialized structures that act as microrefuge and a source of food for arthropods. Nest arthropod richness and composition may vary according to the nest builder, geographical location and nest size. Because information on nest arthropods is scarce, there are even fewer studies on the drivers of nest arthropod diversity. We characterized arthropod diversity in cup- and dome-shaped nests along a 130 km latitudinal gradient in the mediterranean-type region of Central Chile and, we assessed whether nest dimensions and climatic factors explain richness (alpha-diversity). Then, we evaluated whether climatic differences between sites explain arthropod nest composition (beta-diversity). All collected nests hosted at least one arthropod specimen. We identified 43 taxonomic entities (4.2 entities per nest ± 0.5, mean ± SE, n = 27 nests) belonging to 18 orders and five classes: Arachnida, Diplopoda, Entognatha, Insecta and Malacostraca. We observed differences in nest arthropod richness and composition related to sites but not bird species. Larger nests supported greater arthropod richness. Furthermore, we observed that climatic differences explain the variation in arthropod composition between sites. Nests in the northern region (drier and warmer) mainly hosted Hemipterans and Hymenopterans. Contrary, nests in the southern region (humid and colder) hosted species of Collembola, Dermaptera, and Diplopoda. Positive relationship between nests surface area with arthropod richness suggests us that larger nests may keep more resources. Our study sheds light on a crucial interaction which may have potential consequences for insect assemblage composition and bird reproductive biology.
鸟巢是一种特殊的结构，既是微型避难所，也是节肢动物的食物来源。巢中节肢动物的丰富度和组成可能因筑巢者、地理位置和巢的大小而异。由于有关节肢动物巢穴的信息很少，因此对节肢动物多样性驱动因素的研究就更少了。我们对智利中部地中海型地区沿130公里纬度梯度的杯形和圆顶形巢穴的节肢动物多样性进行了表征，并评估了巢穴尺寸和气候因素是否解释了丰富度(α -多样性)。然后，我们评估了不同地点之间的气候差异是否解释了节肢动物巢穴组成(β -多样性)。所有收集到的巢穴都至少有一个节肢动物标本。共鉴定出蛛形目、双足目、舌颌目、昆虫目和Malacostraca目5类18目43个分类实体(平均4.2个/巢±0.5个，mean±SE, n = 27个巢)。不同地点的巢内节肢动物丰富度和组成存在差异，但鸟类种类间不存在差异。更大的巢穴支持更丰富的节肢动物。此外，我们还观察到气候差异解释了不同地点间节肢动物组成的差异。北部地区(干燥和温暖)的巢穴主要是半翅目和膜翅目昆虫的巢穴。相反，南部地区(潮湿和寒冷)的巢中有弹尾目、皮翅目和双足目昆虫。巢面积与节肢动物丰富度呈正相关关系，说明较大的巢可能保留更多的资源。我们的研究揭示了一种重要的相互作用，这种相互作用可能对昆虫组合组成和鸟类生殖生物学产生潜在的影响。

Con el objetivo de conservar la fauna ictica nativa y como medida de mitigacion al impacto generado por la interrupcion del libre desplazamiento de peces en el rio Laja (Region del Biobio), se llevo a cabo un programa de translocacion de peces nativos. Entre los anos 1997 y 2000 se estudio la composicion y estructura comunitaria y poblacional de la ictiofauna del area, determinando la necesidad de transferir ejemplares de tres especies nativas con problemas de conservacion: Diplomystes nahuelbutaensis, Trichomycterus areolatus y Percilia irwini. La campana de translocacion se llevo a cabo en enero de 2001, capturando un total de 1835 ejemplares, de los cuales 1.653 se reubicaron vivos. La sobrevivencia obtenida en las tres especies fue alta durante las tres etapas de la campana (toma de datos, mantencion y traslado), siendo superior al 90% en cada una de ellas. Se capturaron 852 ejemplares de P. irwini y se translocaron 760; 643 individuos de T. areolatus, de los cuales se reubicaron 591 y 340 de D. nahuelbutaensis, de los que se transfirieron 302. En las tres especies la mayor mortalidad ocurrio en los estados juveniles. Tanto T. areolatus como P. irwini, presentaron mayor mortalidad durante la toma de datos (peso y longitud), en tanto que D. nahuelbutaensis resulto mas sensible al traslado. En todos los casos esta mortalidad por etapa fue inferior al 7%. Para aumentar la eficiencia de esta estrategia de conservacion se sugiere: (a) evitar la extraccion de ejemplares juveniles, (b) eliminar la etapa de toma de datos de cada individuo capturado (c) reducir el tiempo de mantencion de los peces en recipientes aireados, y (d) transportar los ejemplares en bajas densidades por contenedor

A paucity of ecological research in urban ecosystems in Latin America limits the management of urban areas for biodiversity conservation. In addition, the majority of previous ecological studies in cities have focused on parks, ignoring most part of urban ecosystems. To provide robust scientific evidence for the management of urban areas for bird conservation, we investigate the influence of habitat variables on the abundance of native and exotic bird species in Santiago, Chile. During the reproductive season of 2017-2018, we surveyed birds and habitat variables at 455 points distributed throughout the city. We fit generalized linear models to evaluate the influence of habitat variables on individual bird species abundance. In 905 bird counts, we recorded 35 bird species (31 native and 4 exotic). The abundance of native birds (Zenaida auriculata, Elaenia albiceps, Troglodytes aedon, Turdus falcklandii, Zonotrichia capensis and Molothrus bonariensis) increased with woody vegetation cover. Points with greater shrub cover in the microhabitat exhibited a greater abundance of T. falcklandii, Z. capensis and E. albiceps. In contrast to the response of native birds, the abundance of exotic species (Columba livia and Passer domesticus) decreased with vegetation cover. Our results demonstrate the importance of woody vegetation to conserve native bird species in Santiago. Management of habitat that (1) avoids the loss of woody vegetation and (2) aims to increase trees and shrubs in urban areas with low vegetation cover will promote a greater abundance of native birds.

Deep marine microorganisms survive under extreme ecological settings and harsh environmental conditions of low temperature, high salinity, and high atmospheric pressure making it significant of scientific interest. Southern Ocean (SO) is one such example of deep marine ecosystem and the microorganisms inhabiting in such hostile environment may produce different bioactive secondary metabolites. SO (Indian Sector) is relatively less documented in terms of microbial composition and community dynamics. The present study involves isolation of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) from three potent SO (Indian Sector) bacteria, optimization of the EPS production and partial characterization of them. Three different EPSs show varying structural conformation, that is from porous to strong flakes mimicking polymeric structure with C/N ratio ranging between 4 - 11. FTIR spectra have exhibited the presence of different active groups of carbohydrate moieties, water molecules and protein-associated amides. EPSs produced by marine microorganisms show high biotechnological promises such as drug carrier in pharmaceutical field, emulsifier and cryo-protectant in food-processing industry, detoxification of petrochemical oils and much more. The three bacterial isolates in this study showed potential of producing EPS biopolymer that can be further explored in terms of its proper biotechnological applications.

Mesochorus species are hyperparasitoids capable of nullifying biological control agents. This study is the first to map and predict the distribution of this genus in Brazil. Species distribution modeling was used to estimate the potential distribution of Mesochorus. We obtained 72 occurrence records of 49 Mesochorus species, being 30 endemics. According to our prediction model, this genus can be distributed in all Brazilian biomes, with higher suitability of occurrence in the Atlantic Forest and lower in the Caatinga and Pampa.
