Journal ArticleDOI
Human-Environment System Knowledge: A Correlate of Pro-Environmental Behavior
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of human-environment system knowledge (i.e., knowledge related to environmental problems caused by humans) and environmental action knowledge (knowledge of possible courses of action to reduce human impact on the environment) on pro-environmental behavior were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population abundance, natural history, and habitat use by the arboreal marsupial Dromiciops gliroides in rural Chiloé Island, Chile
Juan L. Celis-Diez,Jennifer A. Hetz,Paula Marín-Vial,Gonzalo Fuster,Pablo Necochea,Rodrigo A. Vásquez,Fabian M. Jaksic,Juan J. Armesto +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that D. gliroides is not a rare species in remnant forests in the rural landscape of Chiloé Island and this result is crucial for the assessment of its conservation status and offers clues for designing better conservation strategies for this living fossil in anthropogenic landscapes.
Book ChapterDOI
Old-Growth Temperate Rainforests of South America: Conservation, Plant-Animal Interactions, and Baseline Biogeochemical Processes
Juan J. Armesto,Cecilia Smith-Ramírez,Martín R. Carmona,Juan L. Celis-Diez,Iván Díaz,Aurora Gaxiola,Alvaro G. Gutiérrez,Mariela Núñez-Ávila,Cecilia A. Pérez,Ricardo Rozzi +9 more
TL;DR: A structural and compositional definition of old-growth forests is presented in this article, which places emphasis on the lack of recurrent human impact, the presence of a shade-tolerant canopy with emergent pioneers, and a patch area that minimises edge effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing frequency‐dependent seed size selection: a field experiment
TL;DR: It is suggested that large seeds are very profitable food items actively sought by seed predators even at low relative abundance, seed selection is expressed in a short time scale and seed predators, by consuming large seeds consistently, have the potential to modify significantly the quality of plant progeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herbivory and seedling performance in a fragmented temperate forest of Chile
TL;DR: It is confirmed that insects are important herbivores in the Maulino forest and the hypothesis that fragmentation can have strong indirect effects on plant communities as mediated through trophic interactions is supported.
