The Rapid Effects of Yellow-Legged Gull (Larus michahellis) Colony on Dune Habitats and Plant Landscape in the Atlantic Islands National Park (NW Spain)
(MDPI, 2022-02-09)
[Abstract] The Atlantic Islands of Galicia Maritime/Terrestrial National Park hosts one of the largest breeding colonies of yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) in the world. In 2002, a new yellow-legged gull breeding ...
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 ...
Fossil Lagomorpha (Mammalia) of Italy: Systematics and Biochronology
(2020)
[Abstract] Revisions performed in the last 15 years added remarkable novelties to the taxonomy and biochronology of Italian fossil lagomorphs.
Several new taxa have been erected basing on new materials and on the revision ...
Comparing surface digitization techniques in palaeontology using visual perceptual metrics and distance computations between 3D meshes
(Wiley, 2021-01-17)
[Abstract] The use of surface digitization techniques and methods in palaeontology has increased in the last two decades, mainly due to recent improvements in devices and software. However, many digitization efforts are ...
