Application and reassessment of the reduced species list index for macroalgae to assess the ecological status under the Water Framework Directive in the Atlantic coast of Southern Spain
(Elsevier, 2012)According to the Water Framework Directive (WFD) macroalgae are one of the Biological Quality Elements proposed to assess the ecological status of coastal water bodies. In the case of the North East Atlantic coastal shores, ... -
Spatial variability and response to anthropogenic pressures of assemblages dominated by a habitat forming seaweed sensitive to pollution (northern coast of Alboran Sea)
(Elsevier, 2016)The Cystoseira ericaefolia group is conformed by three species: C. tamariscifolia, C. mediterranea and C. amentacea. These species are among the most important habitat forming species of the upper sublittoral rocky shores ... -
Assessment and Characterisation of Ireland’s Green Tides (Ulva Species)
(PLoS, 2017)Enrichment of nutrients and metals in seawater associated with anthropogenic activities can threaten aquatic ecosystems. Consequently, nutrient and metal concentrations are parameters used to define water quality. The ... -
Regional Genetic Structure in the Aquatic Macrophyte Ruppia cirrhosa Suggests Dispersal by Waterbirds
(Springer, 2017)The evolutionary history of the genus Ruppia has been shaped by hybridization, polyploidisation and vicariance that have resulted in a problematic taxonomy. Recent studies provided insight into species circumscription, ... -
Regional scale analysis of karst underground flow properties from tracing experiments. Examples from carbonate aquifers from Malaga province (S Spain).
(Springer, 2018-02)En esta investigación se analizan en profundidad y se aplican modelos numéricos a los datos de ensayos de trazadores artificiales (curvas de paso) obtenidos durante los últimos 15 años por miembros del Centro de Hidrogeología ... -
Distinct Predatory Behaviors in Scimitar- and Dirk-Toothed Sabertooth Cats.
(Cell Press, 2018-10-22)Over the Cenozoic, large cat-like forms have convergently evolved into specialized killers of “megaherbivores” that relied on their large, and laterally compressed (saber-like) canines to rapidly subdue their prey. Scimitar- ... -
Distributional shifts of canopy‑forming seaweeds from the Atlantic coast of Southern Europe
(Springer, 2019)Canopy-forming seaweeds sustain critical ecosystem services in coastal habitats. Around the world, many of these seaweeds are suffering strong declines, mainly attributed to the progressive increase in sea surface temperature, ... -
Culture of Chondracanthus teedei and Gracilariopsis longissima in a traditional salina from southern Spain
(Springer, 2019)The cultivation of two red macroalgal species, Chondracanthus teedei (Martens ex Roth) and Gracilariopsis longissima (S.G. Gmelin) Steentoft M, L.M. Irvine&W.F. Farnham, was assessed in a traditional salina, a system of ... -
Spatial and temporal variability of biomass and composition of green tides in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2019)The identification of relevant scales of variation is a necessary prerequisite before explanatory models can be proposed and tested. In this study spatial and temporal patterns of biomass distribution were assessed for two ... -
Combining Experimental Methods and Modeling to Quantify the Complex Recharge Behavior of Karst Aquifers.
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-01-17)Integration of the abundant information derived from different sources, characterizing techniques and modeling methodologies, is crucial for extending our knowledge of karst aquifers and their available water resources. ... -
Combining hydrodynamics, hydrochemistry, and environmental isotopes to understand the hydrogeological functioning of evaporite-karst springs. An example from southern Spain
(Elsevier, 2019-06-21)This work adopts a multicriteria approach to investigate the functioning of evaporite-karst systems, rarely studied. The natural responses of the main discharge point of the system of study (Lower Anzur spring) were ... -
Sixty-six million years along the road of mammalian ecomorphological specialization.
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, 2019-06-25)The fossil record of the large terrestrial mammals of the NorthAmerican Cenozoic has previously been quantitatively summarizedin six sequential episodes of faunal associations—“evolutionary faunas”—that correspond well ... -
Phenotypic integration and modularity drives skull shape divergence in the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) from the Commander Islands
(Royal Society, 2019-09-25)Phenotypic integration and modularity influence morphological disparity and evolvability. However, studies addressing how morphological integration and modularity change for long periods of genetic isolation are scarce. ... -
Hydro-environmental changes assessment after Guadalhorce River mouth channelization. An example of hydromodification in southern Spain
(Elsevier, 2020-02-01)The Guadalhorce River mouth (Málaga, Southern Spain) was channelized between 1997 and 2003 to reduce flooding potential in adjacent densely populated sections of Málaga. The channel was bifurcated near the Mediterranean ... -
Global karst springs hydrograph dataset for research and management of the world’s fastest-flowing groundwater.
(Nature, 2020-02-20)Tunde et al. (2020) presentan los resultados de un laborioso trabajo de recopilación de series temporales de datos de caudal de más de 400 manantiales de naturaleza kárstica de todo el mundo. Los hidrogramas se han obtenido ... -
Modelling the effects of climate change and population growth in four intensively exploited Mediterranean aquifers. The Mijas range, Southern Spain.
(Elsevier, 2020-03)Groundwater is key to economic growth in the Mediterranean region. This is particularly true of areas such as southern Spain, where aquifers underpin social development by supplying water to a booming tourist industry. ... -
Biomechanical simulations reveal a trade-off between adaptation to glacial climate and dietary niche versatility in European cave bears.
(AAAS, 2020-04-01)The cave bear is one of the best known extinct large mammals that inhabited Europe during the “Ice Age,” becoming extinct ≈24,000 years ago along with other members of the Pleistocene megafauna. Long-standing hypotheses ... -
An eye for a tooth: Thylacosmilus was not a marsupial ‘‘saber-tooth predator’’
(PeerJ, 2020-06)Background. Saber-toothed mammals, now all extinct, were cats or ‘‘cat-like’’ forms with enlarged, blade-like upper canines, proposed as specialists in taking large prey. During the last 66 Ma, the saber-tooth ecomorph has ... -
Morphological convergence obscures functional diversity in sabre-toothed carnivores
(Royal Society, 2020-09-30)The acquisition of elongated, sabre-like canines in multiple vertebrate cladesduring the last 265 Myr represents a remarkable example for convergentevolution. Due to striking superficial similarities in the cranial ...
