Indoor PM in an urban zone with heavy wood smoke pollution: The case of Temuco, Chile.

Temuco is a mid-size city representative of severe wood smoke pollution in southern Chile; however, little is known about the indoor air quality in this region. A field measurement campaign at 63 households in the Temuco urban area was conducted in winter 2014 and is reported here. In this study, indoor and outdoor (24-hr) PM and its elemental composition were measured and compared.

Effects of temperature and resource variation on insect population dynamics: the bordered plant bug as a case study.

In species with complex life cycles, population dynamics result from a combination of intrinsic cycles arising from delays in the operation of negative density-dependent processes (e.g., intraspecific competition) and extrinsic fluctuations arising from seasonal variation in the abiotic environment.

Short-term dynamics of indoor and outdoor endotoxin exposure: Case of Santiago, Chile, 2012.

Indoor and outdoor endotoxin in PM2.5 was measured for the very first time in Santiago, Chile, in spring 2012. Average endotoxin concentrations were 0.
