A Test of the Substitution–Habitat Hypothesis in Amphibians

Martínez-Abraín, Alejandro; Galán, Pedro (Wiley, 2018-05-16)

[Abstract] Most examples that support the substitution-habitat hypothesis (human-made habitats act as substitutes of original habitat) deal with birds and mammals. We tested this hypothesis in 14 amphibians by using ...

Anomalía pigmentaria de Vipera seoanei en la costa de Galicia. Primer caso de hipomelanismo en esta especie

Galán, Pedro (Asociación Herpetológica Española, 2021-11-16)

[Resumen]: El texto analiza las anomalías pigmentarias en víboras europeas, centrándose en el primer caso documentado de hipomelanismo en Vipera seoanei, observado en Galicia. A diferencia de otras especies como Vipera ...

Assessing Rensch’s Rule in a Newt: Roles of Primary Productivity and Conspecific Density in Interpopulation Variation of Sexual Size Dimorphism

Peñalver-Alcázar, Miguel; Galán, Pedro; Aragón, Pedro (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 ...

Delimiting Phylogeographic Diversity in the Genomic Era: Application to an Iberian Endemic Frog

Dufresnes, Christophe; Ambu, Johanna; Galán, Pedro; Sequeira, Fernando; Viesca, Leticia; Choda, Magdalena; Álvarez, David; Alard, Bérénice; Suchan, Tomasz; Künzel, Sven; Martínez-Solano, Íñigo; Vences, Miguel; González Nicieza, Alfredo César (Oxford University Press, 2023-12-02)

[Abstract] The rich genetic and phenotypic diversity of species complexes is best recognized through formal taxonomic naming, but one must first assess the evolutionary history of phylogeographic lineages to identify and ...

Demography and Population Dynamics of the Lacertid Lizard Podarcis Bocagei in North-West Spain

Galán, Pedro (The Zoological Society of London, 1999)

[Abstract] The demography and life-history traits of a population of the lacertid lizard Podarcis bocagei in north-west Spain were investigated. Most of the conclusions presented are based on mark-recapture studies ...

Determinants of Mercury Contamination in Viperine Snakes, Natrix Maura, in Western Europe

Lemaire, Jérémy; Bustamante, Paco; Olivier, Anthony; Lourdais, Olivier; Michaud, Bruno; Boissinot, Alexandre; Galán, Pedro; Brischoux, François (Elsevier, 2018-04-03)

[Abstract] The effects of Hg contamination are presumably widespread across the components of aquatic ecosystems, but investigations have been mainly focused on freshwater fish, because this biota represents a major source ...

Ecological Consequences of Human Depopulation of Rural Areas on Wildlife: A Unifying Perspective

Martínez-Abraín, Alejandro; Jiménez Pérez, Juan; Jiménez, Ignacio; Ferrer, Xavier; Llaneza, Luis; Ferrer Baena, Miguel; Palomero, Guillermo; Ballesteros, Fernando; Galán, Pedro; Oro, Daniel (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 ...

Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards

García-Porta, Joan; Galán, Pedro (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 ...

Karyological Characterization of the Endemic Iberian Rock Lizard, Iberolacerta Monticola (Squamata, Lacertidae): Insights into Sex Chromosome Evolution

Rojo Oróns, Verónica; Giovannotti, Massimo; Naveira, Horacio; Nisi Cerioni, Paola; González-Tizón, Ana M.; Caputo Barucchi, Vincenzo; Galán, Pedro; Olmo, Ettore; Martínez-Lage, Andrés (Karger, 2013-12)

[Abstract] Rock lizards of the genus Iberolacerta constitute a promising model to examine the process of sex chromosome evolution, as these closely related taxa exhibit remarkable diversity in the degree of sex chromosome ...

Landscape Resistance Constrains Hybridization Across Contact Zones in a Reproductively and Morphologically Polymorphic Salamander

Velo-Antón, Guillermo; Lourenço, André; Galán, Pedro; González Nicieza, Alfredo César; Tarroso, Pedro (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 ...
