Of the five NPI glaciers studied, San Rafael Glacier showed a net advance, while other glaciers, San Quintin, Steffen, Colonia and Nef retreated during the same period. With additional data of JERS-1 images (1994), different patterns of variations for periods of 1986-94 and 1994-97 are recognized. Of the seven SPI glaciers studied, Pio XI Glacier, the largest in South America, showed a net advance, gaining a total area of 5.66 km2. Two RADARSAT images taken in January and April 1997 revealed a surge-like very rapid glacier advance.

ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis remains a major parasitic disease, endemic in large parts of South America. Five neotropical species of Biomphalaria have been found to act as inter- mediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni in natural populations, while others have been shown to be susceptible in experimental infections, although not found infected in the field. Among these potential intermediate hosts, Biomphalaria peregrina represents the most widespread species in South America, with confirmed occurrence records from Venezuela to northern Patagonia. In this study, we report the southernmost record for the species at the Pinturas River, in southern Patagonia, which finding implies a southward reassessment of the limit for the known species of this genus. The identities of the individuals from this population were confirmed through morphological examination, and by means of two mitochondrial genes, cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S-rRNA. With both markers, phylogenetic analyses were conducted in order to compare the genetic background of individuals from the Pinturas River Submitted 19 December 2016 Accepted 10 May 2017 with previously genetically characterized strains of B.

Probably due to the topography and currents of the Península’s large bays, most of the whales that die become stranded on the beaches, allowing for reasonably accurate mortality estimates. Systematic efforts to evaluate SRW health through post-mortem examinations began in 2003. Since then, 291 SRW deaths have been recorded, with peaks in 2005, 2007 and 2008. Ninety percent of beached whales were calves, and most were female. In 2007 and 2008, 83 and 96 whales died and stranded at PV in what are considered the most extreme mortality events ever observed in any baleen whale.
