Insectos de importancia económica y sanitaria La babosita del peral, una plaga que avanza sobre los cerezos
No full textLa babosita del peral, también llamada en otros países como chape del cerezo, es una
plaga que afecta algunas plantas frutales como cerezos, guindos, ciruelos, almendros y
perales. En Patagonia es la principal plaga de las plantaciones de cerezos, donde puede
ocasionar serios problemas en la comercialización de esta fruta.EEA BarilocheFil: Peschiutta, María Laura. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET).

Why do trees adjust water relations and hydraulic architecture in response to nutrient availability?
Full text linkStudies on water relations, hydraulic architecture and effects of nutrients on growth in trees have been studied for many years in relative isolation. Only recently the functional relations of these groups of plant traits have been investigated with a more integrative approach (e.g. Harvey and van den Driessche, 1999; Clearwater and Meinzer 2001: Ewers et al. 2000, 2001; Bucci et al. 2006; Hacke et al. 2010; Faustino et al. 2013). In this commentary we attempt to answer the question of why water relations and the hydraulic architecture of trees are functionally related with their nutrient availability. We will focus on results of studies where nutrient limitations have been removed or alleviated by additions of the two most important macronutrients: nitrogen and phosphorous.Fil: Goldstein, Guillermo Hernan.

An experimental investigation of the impact of critical and warm comments on state paranoia in a non-clinical sample
Full text linkBackground and objectives: Interpersonal stress is key to the development and maintenance of paranoia. Much attention has been given to the impact of interpersonal stressors, such as criticism, on outcomes in psychosis. Less attention has been given to the potentially protective effects of positive interpersonal factors. This study tested experimentally whether criticism and warm comments elicited changes in state paranoia. Whether warm comments provided protective effects when participants faced subsequent social exclusion was also examined. Method: A nonclinical sample (N = 97) was randomised to criticism, warm comments, or neutral comments conditions. Participants then played a virtual ball game (Cyberball), during which they were systematically excluded from the game. State paranoia was measured before and after the affective stimuli and after social exclusion. Self-esteem and trait paranoia were also measured. Results: Paranoia levels increased following exposure to criticism (p =.011). Paranoia was not significantly lower following exposure to warm comments (p =.203). Warm comments did not provide protection against the effects of subsequent social exclusion. The warm comments condition was the only condition in which significant increases in paranoia were seen following social exclusion (p =.004). Limitations: Use of a non-clinical sample limits generalisation to clinical populations. Conclusions: Criticism is sufficient to elicit increases in paranoia in non-clinical participants. Warm comments are insufficient to significantly reduce paranoia or provide protective effects against subsequent negative interpersonal experiences, highlighting the need to balance therapeutic warmth with amelioration of social stressors in paranoia.</p
