Roads now penetrate even the most remote parts of much of the world, but the majority of
research on the effects of roads on biota has been in less remote temperate environments …

Populations of small mammals often fluctuate dramatically in arid environments, persisting at
very low density during drought and erupting briefly but dramatically after rain. We selected …

A key task in ecology is to understand the drivers of animal distributions. In arid and semi‐
arid environments, this is challenging because animal populations show considerable …

Understanding the impacts of rainfall and fire on the population dynamics of mammals in
desert ecosystems has been hampered by a lack of long-term data. In this study, we use a …

Habitat partitioning is considered one of the main mechanisms of coexistence among small
mammals. This is especially evident in arid environments where resources are particularly …

In this research we explore elevation gradient of small mammal diversity on the arid slopes
of the Andes in northwestern Argentina. We evaluated the influence of climatic and …

Although scaling biodiversity is a common topic in ecology, scaling functional biodiversity is
a major theoretical and analytical challenge, mainly because trait differentiation and …

Large old trees are keystone organisms that generate a highly connected network of
interactions because they provide refuge and feeding sites to mammals with different habitat …

This paper presents the results of an isotopic study of δ 13 C and δ 15 N values for bone
collagen from 209 modern faunas from central-western Argentina. The samples come from …

Scaling biodiversity patterns has been recognized lately as a very important issue in the
search of global processes; however coexistence and assemblage patterns are typically …
