Isolation and characterization of 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci for the rockpool shrimp Palaemon elegans using Illumina MiSeq sequencing
(Springer Nature, 2018-11-21)[Abstract] The rockpool shrimp Palaemon elegans is considered an important crustacean species within the European coastline fauna. This species is experiencing an ongoing geographical expansion beyond its native distribution ... -
Stick Supply to Nests by Cliff-Nesting Raptors as an Evolutionary Load of Past Tree-Nesting
(Queen's University, 2019)[Abstract] The supply of sticks to cliff nests by many European raptors has been explained only as a functional means of decreasing ectoparasite loads in nests and for signalling nest occupancy. We provide here a historical ... -
Pax Romana: ‘Refuge Abandonment’ and Spread of Fearless Behavior in a Reconciling World
(Wiley, 2019-02-05)[Abstract] Intense human persecution of wildlife in the past selected for shy individuals that survived in suboptimal refuge habitats. It appears that this long-term conflict is coming to an end in southern Europe, where ... -
Census and Contemporary Effective Population Size of Two Populations of the Protected Spanish Moon Moth (Graellsia Isabellae)
(Wiley, 2019-03-02)[Abstract] 1. Graellsia isabellae is a protected lepidopteran both in France and Spain; however, there has been considerable debate over its conservation status. Recent literature emphasised the need of monitoring population ... -
Assessing Rensch’s Rule in a Newt: Roles of Primary Productivity and Conspecific Density in Interpopulation Variation of Sexual Size Dimorphism
(Wiley, 2019-08-28)[Abstract] Aim: Major efforts have been devoted to understanding the geographic pattern of sexual size dimorphism (SSD). Rensch's rule posits that SSD increases with body size in male-biased SSD species and decreases with ... -
Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-09)[Abstract] Climatic conditions changing over time and space shape the evolution of organisms at multiple levels, including temperate lizards in the family Lacertidae. Here we reconstruct a dated phylogenetic tree of 262 ... -
Determinants of Eurasian Otter (Lutra Lutra) Diet in a Seasonally Changing Reservoir
(Springer, 2020-03-03)[Abstract] Otter diet in reservoirs is known to experience seasonal changes. We selected a reservoir with a large population of exclusively wintering great cormorants and seasonal changes in stored water volume to test the ... -
First Record of a Freshwater Bryozoan Species in Cuba: Plumatella Repens (Linnaeus, 1758) (Phylactolaemata, Bryozoa)
(Pensoft, 2020-03-12)[Abstract] The discovery of Plumatella repens floatoblasts in wetlands of the La Niña Bonita Reservoir and the Ciénaga de Zapata Swamp, Cuba, constitutes the first record of a freshwater bryozoan species on the island and ... -
Genetic diversity and population structure of the rockpool shrimp "Palaemon elegans" based on microsatellites: evidence for a cryptic species and differentiation across the Atlantic–Mediterranean transition
(Nature, 2020-07-01)[Abstract] The rockpool shrimp Palaemon elegans is an ecologically important crustacean species within the European coastline fauna. In the present study, genetic diversity and population structure and connectivity were ... -
Phytochemical Assessment of Native Ecuadorian Peppers (Capsicum spp.) and Correlation Analysis to Fruit Phenomics
(MDPI, 2020-08-04)[Abstract] In this work, the impact of pepper (Capsicum spp.) fruits morphology on their composition for health-promoting compounds was investigated. For that purpose, pepper accessions from Ecuador, one of the hotspots ... -
Mitogenome Phylogenetics in the Genus Palaemon (Crustacea: Decapoda) Sheds Light on Species Crypticism in the Rockpool Shrimp P. Elegans
(PLOS, 2020-08-18)[Abstract] The genus Palaemon comprises worldwide marine and freshwater shrimps and prawns, and some of them are ecologically or commercially important species. Palaemon is not currently a monophyletic group, so phylogenetics ... -
A New Gall Midge Species (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) as a Potential Candidate for Biological Control of the Invasive Plant Cortaderia Selloana (Poaceae)
(Springer, 2020-09-15)[Abstract] A gall midge (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) is reported here for the first time from spikelets of Cortaderia selloana, a prominent alien invasive grass species in southern Europe. The insect is described as a new genus ... -
Rapid Colour Shift by Reproductive Character Displacement in Cupido Butterflies
(Wiley, 2020-10-13)[Abstract] Reproductive character displacement occurs when competition for successful breeding imposes a divergent selection on the interacting species, causing a divergence of reproductive traits. Here, we show that a ... -
Ecological Consequences of Human Depopulation of Rural Areas on Wildlife: A Unifying Perspective
(Elsevier, 2020-11-10)[Abstract] The depopulation of rural areas by humans (or rural exodus) in southern Europe, and the associated abandonment of cropland, had marked ecological consequences on wildlife, which became evident approximately ... -
Correlation Analysis of High-Throughput Fruit Phenomics and Biochemical Profiles in Native Peppers (Capsicum spp.) from the Primary Center of Diversification
(MDPI, 2021-01-30)[Abstract] The main goal of this work was to investigate the relationship between the fruit morphology and biochemical composition of peppers (Capsicum spp.). For that purpose, one hundred native varieties from the Andean ... -
Differences in Prevalence of Multiple Paternity in the Spiny Spider Crab Maja Brachydactyla in Two Localities That Differ in Female Fecundity, Fishing Intensity, and Management Measures
(Oxford Academic, 2021-04-29)[Abstract] Many marine species are under high fishing pressure, which can cause alterations in their mating systems and the structure of their populations. The spiny spider crab Maja brachydactyla is a commercial decapod ... -
Landscape Resistance Constrains Hybridization Across Contact Zones in a Reproductively and Morphologically Polymorphic Salamander
(Springer Nature, 2021-04-29)[Abstract] Explicitly accounting for phenotypic differentiation together with environmental heterogeneity is crucial to understand the evolutionary dynamics in hybrid zones. Species showing intra-specific variation in ... -
The Selection of Anthropogenic Habitat by Wildlife as an Ecological Consequence of Rural Exodus: Empirical Examples From Spain
(Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, 2021-06-18)[Abstract] The increasing urbanization of the landscape is a major component of global change worldwide. However, it is puzzling that wildlife is selecting anthropogenic habitats despite the availability of apparently ... -
