RESUMEN. Las especies exóticas invasoras constituyen una de las amenazas más importantes para la conservación de la biodiversidad y los procesos de los ecosistemas. En Uruguay y otras zonas templadas se destaca el ligustro (Ligustrum lucidum W.T. Aiton), una especie asiática con gran capacidad de adaptación y características que la convierten en colonizadora exitosa. La multiplicación por semillas es su estrategia reproductiva principal y la herbívora podría contribuir a reducir el reclutamiento de plántulas.

The qualitative and quantitative composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Eupatorium buniifolium Hooker et Arnott (Asteraceae) has been investigated for the first time. The essential oils were obtained by steam distillation of leaves and analysed by GC-MS; 44 components were identified. Monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, especially α-pinene (14.7%), β-elemene (12.2%), germacrene D (11.5%), trans-β-guaiene (6.5%) and (E)-caryophyllene (4.3%), were the major constituents found in the oils. The characterisation of E.

Abstract:Honeybees Apis mellifera are important pollinators of wild plants and commercial crops. For more than a decade, high percentages of honeybee colony losses have been reported worldwide. Nutritional stress due to habitat depletion, infection by diferent pests and pathogens and pesticide exposure has been proposed as the major causes. In this study we analyzed how nutritional stress afects colony strength and health.
