Subject:
moths; Noctuidae; Lycium; cacti and succulents; habitats; new geographic records; Chile
Abstract:
... Noctuid moths flutter in the high Andes nights at 4,000 m. s. n. m. Their larvae feed on aerial or underground parts of succulent plants. Many of these species are new to science. Strategies and adaptations of the moths for survival in the high Andes mountains are: a circulatory system that includes an abdominal thoracic countercurrent heat exchanger, and they are insulated from the environment by ...

In the hyperarid Atacama Desert, wild plant resources are scarce and unevenly distributed due to limited water availability. This study brings together all available archaeobotanical evidence gather ...

Abstract:
... The dredge oyster, Ostrea chilensis, is native to New Zealand and Chile. Although this species has been commercially fished for decades, it is only recently that farming trials have been initiated. The “wild” commercial fishery was decimated in the 1980s by the parasite, Bonamia and so breeding for disease resistance is imperative for the progress of the aquaculture industry. Cryopreservation can ...
