Michetti, K. M.; P. I. Leonardi & E. J. Cáceres. 2007. Vegetative morphology and asexual reproduction of Draparnaldia mutabilis (Chaetophoraceae, Chlorophyta), first verified record for Argentina. Darwiniana 45(2): 175-180. Thalli of... more
Different lamina of Macrocystis pyrifera sporophytes (i.e., sporophylls, pneumatocyst-bearing blades, and apical scimitars) in a wave-sheltered site were found to be fertile. We quantified their sorus surface area, reproductive output... more
The settlement and adhesion of Navicula perminuta and Ulva linza to methyl-terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of increasing chain length has been investigated. Organisms were allowed to settle onto the monolayers and... more
The influence of the number of repeating units in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of ethylene glycol and of their end-group termination on the settlement and adhesion of two types of algal cells, viz., zoospores of the macroalga Ulva and... more
Knowledge of the environmental constraints on a pathogen is critical to predict- ing its dynamics and effects on populations. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), an aquatic fungus that has been linked with widespread amphibian declines,... more
The settlement and adhesion of Navicula perminuta and Ulva linza to methyl-terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of increasing chain length has been investigated. Organisms were allowed to settle onto the monolayers and... more
Protein resistance of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of hexa(ethylene glycols) (EG6) has previously been shown to be dependent on the alkoxyl end-group termination of the SAM, which determines wettability [S. Herrwerth, W. Eck, S.... more
Phytophthora infestans is a highly destructive plant pathogen. It was the cause of the infamous Irish potato famine in the nineteenth century and remains to this day a significant global problem with associated costs estimated at $3... more
Larvicidal effects of interaction between Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti), temephos and Leptolegnia chapmanii zoospores on larvae of Aedes aegypti were determined under laboratory and seminatural conditions. In laboratory... more

Pythiosis is a granulomatous disease of horses, cattle, dogs, cats and humans identified in tropical and subtropical areas and caused by Pythium insidiosum, a zoosporic fungus. Experimental models of pythiosis in naturally infected... more
