Modelling the distribution of Bonelli’s eagle in Spain: implications for conservation planning.
Muñoz-Gallego, Antonio Román
; Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Barbosa, A. Márcia; Vargas-Yañez, Juan Mario (2005-11-07)
Bonelli’s eagle, Hieraaetus fasciatus , has recently suffered a severe population decline and is currently endangered. Spain supports about 70% of the European population. We used stepwise logistic regression on a set of ... -
Nest light environment and potential risk of cuckoo parasitism.
Muñoz-Gallego, Antonio Román; Altamirano-Jeschke, María; Takasu, Fugo; Nakamura, Hiroshi (2007-04-01)
Brood parasitism represents a significant cost in reproduction; thus, natural selection should favor the evolution of host defenses, which in turn may favor evolution of more sophisticated techniques by the parasite to ... -
Modelling chorotypes of invasive vertebrates in mainland Spain.
Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz; Estrada, Alba; Muñoz-Gallego, Antonio Román; Vargas-Yañez, Juan Mario (Wiley, 2007-09-24)
We investigated the existence of chorotypes – assemblages of species with similar geographical ranges – of invasive species in a host territory, and their potential use to advocate similar control or management strategies ... -
Gene expansion and retention leads to a diverse tyrosine kinase superfamily in amphioxus
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Tyrosine kinase (TK) proteins play a central role in cellular behavior and development of animals. The expansion of this superfamily is regarded as a key event in the evolution of the complex signaling pathways and gene ... -
Unexpectedly large number of conserved noncoding regions within the ancestral chordate Hox cluster
(Springer, 2008)The single amphioxus Hox cluster contains 15 genes and may well resemble the ancestral chordate Hox cluster. We have sequenced the Hox genomic complement of the European amphioxus Branchiostoma lanceolatum and compared it ... -
The Amphioxus Hox Cluster: Characterization, Comparative Genomics, and Evolution.
(Wiley, 2008-03-19)The amphioxus Hox cluster is often viewed as ‘‘archetypal’’ for the chordate lineage. Here, we present a descriptive account of the 448 kb region spanning the Hox cluster of the amphioxus Branchiostoma floridae from Hox14 ... -
Implications of duplicated cis-regulatory elements in the evolution of metazoans: the DDI model or how simplicity begets novelty.
(Oxford Academic, 2009)The discovery that most regulatory genes were conserved among animals from distant phyla challenged the ideas that gene duplication and divergence of homologous coding sequences were the basis for major morphological changes ... -
First Record of a comunal roost of Short-toed Eagles Circaetus gallicus during migration at the Strait of Gibraltar
(2010)Communal roosting and its adaptive function for birds have been widely studied. Both juveniles and adults of social bird species normally concentrate in communal roosts, and the protection of these sites may be of conservation ... -
The embryonic epicardium: an essential element of cardiac development
(Wiley Online Library, 2010-08)The epicardium has recently been identified as an active and essential element of cardiac development. Recent reports have unveiled a variety of functions performed by the embryonic epicardium, as well as the cellular and ... -
Finessing atlas data for species distribution models
Niamir, Aidin; Skidmore, Andrew; Toxopeus, Bert; Muñoz, Antonio Román; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (Wiley Open Access, 2011)
Aim The spatial resolution of species atlases and therefore resulting model predictions are often too coarse for local applications. Collecting distribution data at a finer resolution for large numbers of species requires ... -
The North Atlantic Oscillation and sea surface temperature affect loggerhead abundance around the Strait of Gibraltar.
Báez, José Carlos; Bellido López, Juan Jesús; Ferri-Yáñez, Francisco; Castillo, Juan José; Martín, Juan J.; Mons Checa, Jose Luís; Romero-Pacheco, David; Real-Giménez, Raimundo[et al.] (Institut de Ciències del Mar, CSIC, 2011-09)
The aim of this study was to explore the possible link between variations in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and sea surface temperature (SST) and the abundance of loggerhead turtles around the Strait of Gibraltar, ... -
Fuzzy chorotypes as a conceptual tool to improve insight into biogeographic patterns.
Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz (Oxford Academic, 2011-10-05)
Chorotypes—statistically significant groups of coincident distribution areas—constitute biogeographic units that are fuzzy by nature. This quality has been referred to in the literature but has not been analyzed in depth ... -
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 ... -
Comparative assessment of different methods for using land-cover variables for distribution modelling of Salamandra salamandra longirotris
Romero-Pacheco, David; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (Cambridge University Press, 2012-08-16)
Predictive models are frequently used to define the most suitable areas for species protection or reintroduction. Land-cover variables can be used in different ways for distribution modelling. The surface area of a set of ... -
The expanding role of the epicardium and epicardial-derived cells in cardiac development and disease
Ruiz-Villalba, Adrián; Pérez-Pomares, José María (2012-10)
In this review, we aim at presenting and discussing the cellular and molecular mechanisms of embryonic epicardial development that may underlie the origin of congenital heart disease (CHD). -
Integrating fuzzy logic and statistics to improve the reliable delimitation of biogeographic regions and transition zones
This study uses the amphibian species of the Mediterranean basin to develop a consistent procedure based on fuzzy sets with which biogeographic regions and biotic transition zones can be objectively detected and reliably ... -
Uncertainty in distribution forecasts caused by taxonomic ambiguity under climate change scenarios: a case study with two newt species in mainland Spain.
Romero-Pacheco, David; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz; Báez, José Carlos; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (Wiley, 2013)
To analyse a source of uncertainty when forecasting the possible effects of climate change on species distributions, which may appear when the species studied have doubtful taxonomy or are subdivided into subspecies with ... -
Characterization of epicardial-derived cardiac interstitial cells: differentiation and mobilization of heart fibroblast progenitors
The non-muscular cells that populate the space found between cardiomyocyte fibers are known as 'cardiac interstitial cells' (CICs). CICs are heterogeneous in nature and include different cardiac progenitor/stem cells, ... -
Estimating how inflated or obscured effects of climate affect forecasted species distribution
Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Romero-Pacheco, David; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Estrada, Alba; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz (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 ... -
