Environmental changes were reconstructed from a multiproxy synthesis of over 30 localities the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego and los Estados, southernmost South America. At local scale, results mountain forest gently undulating steppe areas integrated as well those marine environments Beagle Channel Atlantic coasts. regional with published for Andean Extra-Andean Patagonia Antarctic Peninsula...

The Chilean Patagonia has numerous kinds of inland water ecosystems such as lakes, ponds, wetlands and rivers that have been poorly studied due to access difficulties. This study was carried out in Aysen region, in southern Chile, and it included different kinds of water bodies such as rivers, streams, ponds, lagoons and lakes distributed along an altitudinal gradient at 46° S. It was found a l...

This article presents an agent-based model designed to explore the development of cooperation in hunter-fisher-gatherer societies that face a dilemma of sharing an unpredictable resource that is randomly distributed in space. The model is a stylised abstraction of the Yamana society, which inhabited the channels and islands of the southernmost part of Tierra del Fuego (Argentina-Chile). Accordi...

The average angular distributions of neutron emissions have been measured in the Fuego Nuevo II (FN-II) dense plasma focus device (5kJ) by means of CR-39 plastic nuclear track detectors. When pure deuterium is used as the filling gas, the data can be adjusted to a Gaussian function, related to anisotropic emission, superposed on a constant pedestal, related to isotropic emission. When deuterium...
