Diatom-inferred ecological responses of an oceanic lake system to volcanism and anthropogenic perturbations since 1290 CE
(Elsevier, 2019-07-29)
[Abstract] The impacts of natural- and human-induced processes on lake ecosystems in remote oceanic islands remain to be fully elucidated. These lakes are excellent candidates to analyze the importance of anthropogenic ...
Biogeography and lake morphometry drive diatom and chironomid assemblages’ composition in lacustrine surface sediments of oceanic islands
(Springer, 2014)
[Abstract] Subfossil biotic assemblages in lakes’ surface sediments have been used to infer ecological conditions across environmental gradients. Local variables are usually the major drivers of assemblage composition, but ...
Evaluation of Cu and Zn Content in Soils and their Interaction with Some Physicochemical Soil Properties
(IOP Publishing, 2019-03-04)
[Abstract] The content of metals in soils depends on the combined effect of several factors, which include the properties of the metals themselves and their concentrations in the soil, environmental conditions and soil ...
Relationship of Weather Types on the Seasonal and Spatial Variability of Rainfall, Runoff, and Sediment Yield in the Western Mediterranean Basin
(MDPI, 2020-06-09)
[Abstract] Rainfall is the key factor to understand soil erosion processes, mechanisms, and rates.
Most research was conducted to determine rainfall characteristics and their relationship with
soil erosion (erosivity) ...
A Small Cretaceous Crocodyliform in a Dinosaur Nesting Ground and the Origin of Sebecids
(Springer Nature, 2020-09-17)
[Abstract] Sebecosuchia was a group of highly specialized cursorial crocodyliforms that diversified during the Cretaceous and persist until the end of the Miocene. Their unique combination of cranial and post-cranial ...
A 68 ka precipitation record from the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile
(Elsevier, 2020-01)
[Abstract] The Atacama Desert in northern Chile is one of the driest deserts on Earth. Hyperaridity persists at least since the Miocene and was punctuated by pluvial phases. However, very little is known about the timing, ...
Tooth and Long Bone Scaling in Sardinian Ochotonids (Early Pleistocene-Holocene): Evidence for Megalodontia and Its Palaeoecological Implications
(Elsevier, 2021-09-09)
[Abstract] Body size is a useful character to unravel the biology of fossil taxa and, indirectly, the palaeoenvironment in which they lived. However, the reliability of size proxies is debated, particularly among insular ...
Importance of the Postcranial Skeleton in Eusuchian Phylogeny: Reassessing the Systematics of Allodaposuchid Crocodylians
(PLOS, 2021-06-09)
[Abstract] Our current knowledge on the crocodyliform evolution is strongly biased towards the skull morphology, and the postcranial skeleton is usually neglected in many taxonomic descriptions. However, it is logical to ...
Prolagus Pomel, 1853 (Lagomorpha, Mammalia) in the Framework of the Pliocene Faunal Rearrangements in Central Europe
(Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (París), 2021-06-28)
[Abstract] Pliocene occurrences of Prolagus Pomel, 1853 in central Europe represent anomalies out of the peri-Mediterranean area, at that time the core distribution of the genus. Though known for several decades, those ...
An Assessment of the Recent Evolution of the Streamflow in a Near-Natural System: A Case Study in the Headwaters of the Mero Basin (Galicia, Spain)
(MDPI, 2020-12-08)
[Abstract] Observational trend analysis is fundamental for documenting changes in river flows and placing extreme events in their longer-term historical context. Observations from near-natural catchments, i.e., with little ...
