Pathogeography: leveraging the biogeography of human infectious diseases for global health management
(2018)Biogeography is an implicit and fundamental component of almost every dimension of modern biology, from natural selection and speciation to invasive species and biodiversity management. However, biogeography has rarely ... -
Population interconnectivity over the past 120,000 years explains distribution and diversity of Central African hunter-gatherers
(2022-05-17)The evolutionary history of African hunter-gatherers holds key insights into modern human diversity. Here, we combine ethnographic and genetic data on Central African hunter-gatherers (CAHG) to show that their current ... -
Recent loss of closed forests is associated with Ebola virus disease outbreaks
(Springer Nature, 2017-10)Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a contagious, severe and often lethal form of hemorrhagic fever in humans. The association of EVD outbreaks with forest clearance has been suggested previously but many aspects remained ... -
Spatial modelling for predicting potential wildlife distributions and human impacts in the Dja Forest Reserve, Cameroon.
(Elsevier, 2018-12-22)Protected areas (PAs) are currently the cornerstones for biodiversity conservation in many regions of the world. Within Africa's moist forest areas, however, numerous PAs are under significant threats from anthropogenic ... -
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 ... -
Taxonomic revision and molecular phylogeny of Pisa (Decapoda: Majoidea: Epialtidae), including the description of a new genus of Pisinae.
(CSIC, 2023-12-20)The spider crabs of the genus Pisa Leach, 1814 (Epialtidae: Pisinae) are reviewed in this study based on mor- phological and molecular data (16S and COI genes). From these results, a new genus, Afropisa n. gen., is established ... -
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 ... -
Testing for errors in estimating bird mortality rates at wind farms and power lines
(CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2017)Wind power, as an alternative to fossil fuels, is increasingly common, and is expanding worldwide. Wind farms cause mortality of flying animals through collision with moving rotor blades, and from electrocution on associated ... -
The anatomical components of the cardiac outflow tract of chondrichthyans and actinopterygians
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)The outflow tract (OF) of the fish heart is the segment interposed between the ventricle and the ventral aorta. It holds the valves that prevent blood backflow from the gill vasculature to the ventricle. This paper offers ... -
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 ... -
The northern wheatear is reducing its distribution in its southernmost European range and moving to higher altitudes
(Wiley, 2024-03-19)Under the current pattern of climate change, mountain bird populations are generally shifting their ranges to higher elevations, tracking their climatic optima. Nevertheless, space limitations at high altitudes constrain ... -
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 ... -
Unrelenting spread of the alien monk parakeet Myiopsitta monachus in Israel. Is it time to sound the alarm?
(Wiley, Society of Chemical Industry, 2017)Monk parakeets, Myiopsitta monachus Boddaert, are native to South America but have established populations in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. They are claimed to act as agricultural pests in their native range, and ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Using fuzzy logic to compare species distribution models developed on the basis of expert knowledge and sampling records
(BioMed Central (BMC, Part of Springer Nature) - Frontiers in Zoology, 2023-12-07)Los registros puntuales de fauna, afectados por el dinamismo en el tiempo que configura la naturaleza, son incapaces de representar la distribución real y completa de una especie. Los expertos infieren las distribuciones ... -
Weak relationship between risk assessment studies and recorded mortality in wind farms
(Wiley. British Ecological Society, 2012)Wind farms generate little or no pollution. However, one of their main adverse impacts is bird mortality through collisions with turbine rotors. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) studies have been based on observations ... -
