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 ... -
Ecological Non-equilibrium and Biological Conservation
(Elsevier, 2023-09-08)[Abstract] How to establish efficient conservation actions and policies for the long-term persistence of ecological systems remains a challenge. Conservation biology was born as a discipline of crisis, targeting the recovery ... -
Enhancing Drought Tolerance and Water Productivity of Diverse Maize Hybrids (Zea mays) Using Exogenously Applied Biostimulants under Varying Irrigation Levels
(MDPI, 2023-05-08)[Abstract] Water deficit is a decisive challenge that tremendously affects maize physiological functions and productivity. Hence, it is crucial to ameliorate its tolerance to drought stress, in particular under abrupt ... -
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 ... -
Evolutionary Implications of a Peroxidase with High Affinity for Cinnamyl Alcohols from Physcomitrium patens, a Non-Vascular Plant
(MDPI, 2021-07-19)[Abstract] Physcomitrium (Physcomitrella) patens is a bryophyte highly tolerant to different stresses, allowing survival when water supply is a limiting factor. This moss lacks a true vascular system, but it has evolved a ... -
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 ... -
Foreseeing the Future of Posidonia Oceanica Meadows by Accounting for the Past Evolution of the Mediterranean Sea
(Oxford Academic, 2022-12-01)[Abstract] The current warming of the Mediterranean Sea has been forecast to lead to the shrinkage of seagrass meadows. We agree that rising sea temperatures most likely will have immediate negative effects on them because ... -
Genetic divergence detected by ISSR markers and characterization of microsatellite regions in "Mytilus" mussels
(Springer Nature, 2007-08)[Abstract] The wide distribution of microsatellites in mussels of the Mytilus edulis complex (Mytilidae) enables the analysis of inter-simple-sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The aim of this investigation was to assess ... -
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 ... -
Genetic diversity in fishery-exploited populations of the banded murex ("Hexaplex trunculus") from the southern Iberian Peninsula
(Elsevier, 2008-08)[Abstract] This study presents an analysis of the genetic diversity in Hexaplex trunculus from three localities of the southern Iberian Peninsula (Ria Formosa and Ria de Alvor in Portugal, and Río Piedras in Spain) using ... -
Genetic heterogeneity in natural beds of the razor clam "Ensis siliqua" revealed by microsatellites
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-06-09)[Abstract] The aim of this study was to analyse the genetic diversity and population structure in the razor clam Ensis siliqua along the European Atlantic coast taking into account their recent history of exploitation and ... -
Genetic Variation of the Razor Clam Ensis Siliqua (Jeffreys, 1875) Along the European Coast Based on Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Markers
(Wiley, 2007-08)[Abstract] Ensis siliqua is regarded as an increasingly valuable fishery resource with potential for commercial aquaculture in many European countries. The genetic variation of this razor clam was analysed by randomly ... -
Genome sizes and karyotypes in the razor clams "Ensis arcuatus" (Jeffreys, 1865) and "E. siliqua" (Linnaeus, 1758)
(CNRS - Station Biologique de Roscoff- ABiMS, 2008-03)[Abstract] The razor clams Ensis arcuatus and E. siliqua show a diploid DNA content of 3.85 ± 0.049 pg and 4.00 ± 0.050 pg, respectively. Both have a diploid chromosome number of 38 although their karyotypes show remarkable ... -
Genotype to Phenotype: Diet-By-Mitochondrial DNA Haplotype Interactions Drive Metabolic Flexibility and Organismal Fitness
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11-06)[Abstract] Diet may be modified seasonally or by biogeographic, demographic or cultural shifts. It can differentially influence mitochondrial bioenergetics, retrograde signalling to the nuclear genome, and anterograde ... -
Heterogeneous nature and distribution of interruptions in dinucleotides may indicate the existence of biased substitutions underlying microsatellite evolution
(Springer Nature, 2008-06)[Abstract] Some aspects of microsatellite evolution, such as the role of base substitutions, are far from being fully understood. To examine the significance of base substitutions underlying the evolution of microsatellites ... -
In Search of a Better Reporting of Scientific Results: A Data Probability Language
(Elsevier, 2022-09-28)[Abstract] A recent paper published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution suggested a new alternative for the reporting of statistical results, using a language based on evidence against the null hypothesis. I agree that the ... -
Increasing Wild Boar Density Explains the Decline of a Montagu’s Harrier Population on a Protected Coastal Wetland
(Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, 2021-07-19)[Abstract] We studied the rapid decline in the number of breeding pairs (geometric growth rate λ = 0.86; 14 % annual decrease) of a semi–colonial ground–nesting bird of prey, the Montagu's harrier (Circus pygargus), after ... -
