Environmental controls on the distribution and diversity of lentic Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) across an altitudinal gradient in tropical South America
To predict the response of aquatic ecosystems to future global climate change, data on the ecology and distribution of keystone groups in freshwater ecosystems are needed. In contrast to mid- and high-latitude zones, such data are scarce across tropical South America (Neotropics). We present the distribution and diversity of chironomid species using surface sediments of 59 lakes from the Andes ...
متن کاملHigh plant diversity in Eocene South America: evidence from Patagonia.
Tropical South America has the highest plant diversity of any region today, but this richness is usually characterized as a geologically recent development (Neogene or Pleistocene). From caldera-lake beds exposed at Laguna del Hunco in Patagonia, Argentina, paleolatitude approximately 47 degrees S, we report 102 leaf species. Radioisotopic and paleomagnetic analyses indicate that the flora was ...
متن کاملDissertation Biophysical Behavior in Tropical South America
OF DISSERTATION BIOPHYSICAL BEHAVIOR IN TROPICAL SOUTH AMERICA The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is rising, in response to human activities such as consumption of fossil fuel, cement production, and land cover change. This increase is mitigated by the fact that currently, approximately one-half of the CO2 of anthropogenic origin does not take up permanent residence in the atmosphere, b...
متن کاملEnvironmental and Human Controls of Ecosystem Functional Diversity in Temperate South America
The regional controls of biodiversity patterns have been traditionally evaluated using structural and compositional components at the species level, but evaluation of the functional component at the ecosystem level is still scarce. During the last decades, the role of ecosystem functioning in management and conservation has increased. Our aim was to use satellite-derived Ecosystem Functional Ty...
