Different sets of traits explain abundance and distribution patterns of European plants at different spatial scales
(Wiley, 2021-03-18)
[Abstract]
Aim: Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be ...
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Identify Priority Areas for the Monitoring of a Vulnerable Family of Fishes in Spanish Marine National Parks
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-21)
[Abstract]
Background: Syngnathid fishes (Actinopterygii, Syngnathidae) are flagship species strongly associated with seaweed and seagrass habitats. Seahorses and pipefishes are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic and ...
Recovering Wasted Nutrients From Shrimp Farming Through the Combined Culture of Polychaetes and Halophytes
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-23)
[Abstract] The bioremediation and biomass production of organic extractive organisms (polychaetes Arenicola marina, Hediste diversicolor and halophyte Salicornia ramosissima) was assessed in an integrated multi-trophic ...
Performance of Polychaete Assisted Sand Filters Under Contrasting Nutrient Loads in an Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) System
(Springer Nature, 2020-11-30)
[Abstract] Polychaete assisted sand filters (PASFs) allow to combine a highly efficient retention of particulate organic matter (POM) present in aquaculture effluent water and turn otherwise wasted nutrients into valuable ...
Stratification Strength and Light Climate Explain Variation in Chlorophyll 𝑎 at the Continental Scale in a European Multilake Survey in a Heatwave Summer
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2021-10-30)
[Abstract] To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the ...
Small but strong: Socioeconomic and ecological resilience of a small European fishing community affected by a submarine volcanic eruption
(Elsevier, 2022-03-28)
[Abstract] Small-scale coastal fishing communities are facing many new challenges, such as rapid ecological changes created by anthropogenic and natural events like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. This paper explores ...
Structure and Trophic Niches in Mobile Epifauna Assemblages Associated With Seaweeds and Habitats of Syngnathid Fishes in Cíes Archipelago (Atlantic Islands Marine National Park, North West Iberia)
(Frontiers, 2021-11-11)
[Abstract] Syngnathids are vulnerable fishes closely associated with seaweeds and seagrass, which provide shelter and food resources. Even though most syngnathids commonly feed on small crustaceans, the feeding regimes may ...
Habitat quality assessment of Atlantic wet heathlands in Serra do Xistral, NW Spain
(Universidad de La Rioja, 2019)
[Abstract] The assessment of habitat quality, especially in semi-natural managed systems, provides a powerful tool for monitoring short and longterm conservation actions. The Erica mackayana Atlantic wet heathlands of the ...
"Alsidium oliveiranum" sp. nov. (Rhodomelaceae, Rhodophyta), an overlooked species from the southwestern Atlantic based on morphology and DNA sequence data
(The Korean Society of Phycology, 2019)
[Abstract] The exploration of seaweed diversity in poorly studied habitats has often led to the discovery of new species. Sand-covered rocks are an example, as they received less attention than sand-free rocky intertidal ...
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 ...
