Abstract:: ... Parameters indicative of general condition and health were compared amongst adult frogs inhabiting uncultivated lands and fields subjected to agricultural practices typical of the humid pampas of Argentina. Whereas no significant differences existed in the parasite load and external malformations prevalence rate of adult frogs from either environments, a reduced condition factor was clearly demons ...

Abstract:: ... Worldwide, intense forest fragmentation has resulted in mosaic landscapes in which biodiversity and a number of important ecological processes are threatened. Insect parasitism is a vital component of herbivore population regulation, hence the study of parasitism and parasitoid richness in fragmented forests embedded in an agricultural matrix is relevant from conservation and management perspectiv ...

Abstract:: ... CONTEXT: Amphibians are declining worldwide and land use change to agriculture is recognized as a leading cause. Argentina is undergoing an agriculturalization process with rapid changes in landscape structure. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated anuran response to landscape composition and configuration in two landscapes of east-central Argentina with different degrees of agriculturalization. We identified ...

Abstract:: ... This is the first review to present data obtained in Brazil over the years regarding contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) and to contrast it with contamination in other countries. Data gathered indicated that caffeine, paracetamol, atenolol, ibuprofen, cephalexin and bisphenol A occur in the μg L−1 range in streams near urban areas. While endocrine disruptors are frequently detected in surface w ...
