222Rn as a natural tracer to investigate recharge and groundwater flow dynamics at three Mediterranean karst systems in Southern Spain.
(2023)Comprehensive knowledge of groundwater origin and movement into karst aquifers is crucial to establish the adequate management practices. This is of special interest in areas strongly affected by the impact of climate ... -
A bordo de un Buque Oceanográfico
(2014-12-04)La película trata del trabajo científico en campañas oceanográficas que se dedican al estudio del acoplamiento físico-biológico del ecosistema pelágico. Se muestra el trabajo rutinario de diferentes tareas a bordo como la ... -
A common framework for the development of spring water contamination early warning system in western Mediterranean karst areas: Spanish and French sites
(Esevier, 2024)Karst water resources, traditionally used worldwide for drinking purposes, are highly vulnerable to contamination. Scientific-technical efforts must therefore be done to ensure sufficient water quality for human consumption. ... -
A comparison of the taphonomic attributes of quarries VM3 and VM4 of the Early Pleistocene site of Venta Micena (Baza Basin, SE Spain)
(2022)The site of Venta Micena (Guadix-Baza Depression, SE Spain), a rich Fossil-Lagerstätten of late Early Pleistocene age (1.6-1.5 Ma), preserves a diverse assemblage of large mammals. Up to date, >24,000 skeletal remains have ... -
A developmental model for the pathogenenesis of cardiac arterio-ventricular fistulae
(2017-03-06)Coronary Artery Fistulae (CAF) are congenital coronary artery (CA) anomalies consisting of an abnormal communication of a coronary artery with either a cardiac chamber or a large cardiac vessel. Although their incidence ... -
A Framework to Assess Natural Chloride Background in Coastal Aquifers Affected by Seawater Intrusion in Eastern Spain.
(MDPI, 2023-07-28)The protection of groundwater resources in coastal aquifers is an increasingly important issue worldwide. To establish threshold values and remediation objectives, it is essential to know the natural background concentrations ... -
A morphometric characterization of cranial shape in terrestrial carnivorans based on fourier analysis
(2013-11-08)A number of studies have shown that skull morphology reflects the ecological adaptations of terrestrial carnivores as well as their phylogenetic legacy. Here we use Fourier shape analysis for describing the dorsal outline ... -
A multidisciplinary approach using hydrogeochemistry, δ15NNO3 isotopes, land use, and statistical tools in evaluating nitrate pollution sources and biochemical processes in Costa Rican volcanic aquifers
(Elsevier, 2024)Nitrate pollution threatens the Barva and Colima multi-aquifer system, the primary drinking water source in the Greater Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica. In addressing nitrate contamination dynamics, this study proposes an ... -
A new Ruscinian site in Europe: Baza-1 (Baza basin, Andalusia, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2017)The Guadix–Baza depression (southeastern Spain) preserves one of the best continental Plio-Pleistocene records of the European continent. The new site, Baza-1, is the first Ruscinian locality with fauna of large vertebrates ... -
A new species of dog from the Early Pleistocene site of Venta Micena (Orce, Baza Basin, Spain)
(Publications scientifiques du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, 2021)The site of Venta Micena (Orce, Spain), c. 1.6 Ma, preserves one the best paleontological records of the early Pleistocene large mammals fauna in Europe. Here we describe the specimens of the genus Canis Linnaeus, 1758 in ... -
A three-dimensional analysis of morphological evolution and locomotor performance of the carnivoran forelimb.
(PLOS, 2014)In this study, three-dimensional landmark-based methods of geometric morphometrics are used for estimating the influence of phylogeny, allometry and locomotor performance on forelimb shape in living and extinct carnivorans ... -
A three-dimensional analysis of the morphological evolution and locomotor behaviour of the carnivoran hind limb
(2014)The shape of the appendicular bones in mammals usually reflects adaptations towards different locomotor abilities. However, other aspects such as body size and phylogeny also play an important role in shaping bone design. ... -
Actividad del 222rn en aguas subterráneas de origen mineral y termal de la provincia de Málaga
(2018-11-29)El isótopo 222Rn es un gas radiactivo que proviene de la cadena de desintegración del isótopo 238U, más concretamente del decaimiento radiactivo del isótopo 226Ra. Este gas puede estar disuelto en las aguas subterráneas ... -
Advancing in the estimation of effective recharge and its propagation in karst aquifers by combining soil moisture observations and the natural responses of springs. An example from Southern Spain.
(2024)Improving our comprehension of infiltration processes in karst systems is crucial for a better adaptation to the global change regarding water resources availability and management. In this work, the effective recharge ... -
Advancing Porphyra linearis (Rhodophyta, Bangiales) culture: low cost artificial seawater, nitrate supply, photosynthetic activity and energy dissipation
(Springer, 2024)Fertilizer use in agriculture and aquaculture significantly contributes to nitrate-rich effluent discharge into aquatic environments. Porphyra's high surface area/volume enables efficient nutrient assimilation. This study ... -
Aerodynamic modelling of a Cretaceous bird reveals thermal soaring capabilities during early avian evolution
(2017-07)Several flight modes are thought to have evolved during the early evolution of birds. Here, we use a combination of computational modelling and morphofunctional analyses to infer the flight properties of the raven-sized, ... -
Age and Date for Early Arrival of the Acheulian in Europe (Barranc de la Boella, la Canonja, Spain)
(Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2014)The first arrivals of hominin populations into Eurasia during the Early Pleistocene are currently considered to have occurred as short and poorly dated biological dispersions. Questions as to the tempo and mode of these ... -
Las algas rojas como fuente de compuestos bioactivos cosmecéuticos.
(2023)Algae present a great molecular diversity with a wide range of bioactivities, among which antioxidant and photoprotective capacity highlighted for their potential cosmeceutical applications. Mycosporine-like amino acids ... -
All about the marine/sea ice diatom Nitzschia lecointei
(2018-10-05)Generally, in terms of growth N. lecointei seems quite tolerant to changes in pH and pCO2, probably due to the fact that this species grows in an environment with large seasonal variations in the carbonate system. However, ... -
