The dispersal capacity of Mollusca—a test on the South Azorean Seamount Chain
(Springer, 2023)This study investigates the molluscan fauna of the South Azorean Seamount Chain (SASC), which comprises several seamounts culminating in 300–1600 m depth, separated by distances less than 200 km. Material was collected ... -
Late Pleistocene boreal molluscs in the Gulf of Cadiz: Past and current oceanographic implications
(Elsevier, 2023-07)Remains of molluscs were collected from the seafloor on the north-eastern margin of the Gulf of Cadiz, between 300 and 1000 m water depth, using different sampling methods (e.g. dredging, trawling and box-coring), during ... -
Cardiomyocyte-Specific Wt1 Is Involved in Cardiac Metabolism and Response to Damage.
(MDPI, 2023-05-12)The Wilms tumor suppressor gene (Wt1) encodes a C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription factor that participates in transcriptional regulation, RNA metabolism, and protein–protein interactions. WT1 is involved in the development ... -
Gone (and spread) with the birds: Can chorotype analysis highlight the spread of West Nile virus within the Afro-Palaearctic flyway?
(Elsevier, 2023)West Nile virus (WNV) is a globally significant vector-borne disease that is primarily transmitted between birds and mosquitoes. Recently, there has been an increase in WNV in southern Europe, with new cases reported in ... -
Updating the national baseline of non-indigenous species in Spanish marine waters
(MDPI, 2023-05-05)The introduction of new non-indigenous species (NIS) in Spanish marine waters is addressed under Descriptor 2 of the European Union’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive. National baseline inventories of NIS have been ... -
Understanding the Geographic Patterns of Closely-Related Species of Paspalum (Poaceae) Using Distribution Modelling and Seed Germination Traits
(MDPI, 2023-03-16)The sexual species of the Dilatata complex (Paspalum dasypleurum, P. flavescens, P. plurinerve, P. vacarianum, and P. urvillei) are closely related phylogenetically and show allopatric distributions, except P. urvillei. ... -
Unravelling the historical biogeography of the European rabbit subspecies in the Iberian Peninsula
(Wiley, 2022-11-10)Understanding the biogeography of species in space and time is essential for the development of evidence-based conservation and management plans. In this paper we propose a biogeographical spatial modelling approach based ... -
Terrestrial Megafauna Response to Drone Noise Levels in Ex Situ Areas
(IOAP-MPDI, 2022-10-30)Drone use has significantly grown in recent years, and there is a knowledge gap on how the noise produced by these systems may affect animals. We investigated how 18 species of megafauna reacted to drone sound pressure ... -
Deep sea starfishes (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) from the Avilés Canyon System (Bay of Biscay), including two new records
(Elsevier, 2022-09-09)The Avilés Canyon System (ACS) is located at the Southern Bay of Biscay (Northern Spain, Cantabrian Sea). The ACS occupies a total of 339.026 ha and is composed of three canyons, reaching the abyssal plain at 4700 m depth. ... -
Species composition of sea stars (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) in the Patagonian Argentinian deep sea, including seven new records: connectivity with sub-Antarctic and Antarctic fauna
(Springer, 2022-06-28)The main target of this paper is to improve the knowledge of the species composition of sea stars in Patagonian Argentine deep sea reaching depths of 2062 m. In addition, these results offer us the opportunity to analyze ... -
Deep-sea echinoids from the Avilés Canyons System (Cantabrian Sea: North Atlantic Ocean)
(Elsevier, 2022-09)The Avilés Canyons System (ACS) is located in the South of the Bay of Biscay (Northern Spain, Cantabrian Sea) and covers a total of 3,390 km2. It is composed of three canyons, reaching the abyssal plain at 4700 m depth. ... -
Form and function of the mantle edge in Protobranchia (Mollusca: Bivalvia)
(Elsevier, 2022-08)We analyzed, by optical and transmission electron microscopy, the morphology and function of the mantle edge, including the formation of the periostracum, of ten species of protobranchs. Five species from the order Nuculida, ... -
Anticipating the locations in Europe of high-risk areas for West Nile virus outbreaks in 2021
(WILEY, 2021)West Nile virus infections in humans are continuously increasing, and the virus has spread considerably in Europe over the past decade. The incidence of the disease was unusually high between 2018 and 2020. The resulting ... -
Metapopulation Patterns of Iberian Butterflies Revealed by Fuzzy Logic
(MDPI, 2021-04)Metapopulation theory considers that the populations of many species are fragmented into patches connected by the migration of individuals through an interterritorial matrix. We applied fuzzy set theory and environmental ... -
Updating known distribution models for forecasting climate change impact on endangered species
(San Francisco, CA : Public Library of Science, 2013-06-28)To plan endangered species conservation and to design adequate management programmes, it is necessary to predict their distributional response to climate change, especially under the current situation of rapid change. ... -
Estimating how inflated or obscured effects of climate affect forecasted species distribution
(San Francisco, CA : Public Library of Science, 2013-01-11)Climate is one of the main drivers of species distribution. However, as different environmental factors tend to co-vary, the effect of climate cannot be taken at face value, as it may be either inflated or obscured by ... -
Combined Effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation on Sea Surface Temperature in the Alborán Sea
(San Francisco, CA : Public Library of Science, 2013-04-18)We explored the possible effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO) on interannual sea surface temperature (SST) variations in the Albora´n Sea, both separately and combined. The probability ...
