Paleomagnetic data from a sedimentary section from Santa Lucía archaeological site, Corrientes province (Northeastern Argentina) are reported. Natural remanent magnetization obtained from 74 oriented cores showed normal and intermediate magnetic remanence with negative and positive low inclination values during the…

Magnetic parameters of different soil types from Caleu-Caleu, La Pampa, Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires province, Argentina show an increase in ferrimagnetic mineral concentrations in the solum. Titanomagnetites are major magnetic minerals in the soils. The distribution patterns of grain size…

Sigara (Tropocorixa) jensenhaarupi Jaczewski is the smallest species of the subgenus ranging from 4.2-4.7 mm, and it is characterized by the absence of a strigil, the small and narrow genital capsule with a short hypandrium in males, and the shape…

We report a new record of Lithobates catesbeianus (American bullfrog) from Argentina. L. catesbeianus was first introduced to San Juan Province 11 years ago in Calingasta Department, where the habitat is pre-cordilleran. The new record is for Zonda Department, San…

Mortality of vertebrates was monitored on 2 roads (National Road 168; NR168 and Provincial Road 1; PR1) in Santa Fe Province (Argentina) from October 2007 to August 2008. These roads differed in traffic volume and surrounding landscape management conditions. We…

Chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (B.d.), is recognized as one of the major factors of amphibian decline. Global trade of amphibians has been identified as one of the causes of B.d. spread, involving hundreds of…

In Buenos Aires coasts, sedimentary processes were particularly active during the Quaternary owing to eustatic fluctuations in sea level. As a result, during the late Quaternary transgressions, marine and marginal marine sediments were deposited in the coastal plain. In order…

In this work very low-grade metamorphic assemblages found in the Northern Patagonian Andes (Argentina) are summarized. On the basis of previous studies, several occurrences of zeolites have been delimited. According to their mineralogy, textures and structures, three different alteration stages…

Introduction: Latin America has dramatically increased the number of articles published from 1995 to 2002, but the individual contribution of each country appears to be very unequal. Objectives: To analyze the production of articles on Cardiology research published in Latin…

The life cycle of the trematode Zygocotyle lunata (Diesing, 1836) is studied, beginning with cercariae from naturally infected Biomphalaria peregrina (d'Orbigny, 1835) and B. tenagophila (d'Orbigny, 1835) from Buenos Aires Province and Salta Province (Argentina), respectively. Adults were recovered from…
