Population genetic analysis of "Ensis directus" unveils high genetic variation in the introduced range and reveals a new species from the NW Atlantic
(Springer Nature, 2012-07-31)[Abstract] We report current genetic variation of populations of the razor shell Ensis directus (Conrad 1843) (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pharidae) in native (North American) and introduced (European) ranges using nuclear and ... -
Predator-Prey Collapses at the Edge of Predator Distribution: The Case of Clupeids and Common Guillemots (Uria aalge) in NW Iberia
(CSIC, 2023-02-23)[Abstract] The spatial structuring of seabird populations makes individual colonies very dependent on regional factors. That is especially the case in small edge populations located far from large colonies. We analysed ... -
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 ... -
Response of Diverse Peanut Cultivars to Nano and Conventional Calcium Forms under Alkaline Sandy Soil
(MDPI, 2023-07-09)[Abstract] Calcium is one of the most limiting factors for the growth and reproduction of peanut, which ultimately affects pod and seed yields. A two-year field experiment was carried out to assess the impact of five calcium ... -
Species delimitation and DNA barcoding of Atlantic Ensis (Bivalvia, Pharidae)
(Wiley, 2013-09-03)[Abstract] Ensis Schumacher, 1817 razor shells occur at both sides of the Atlantic and along the Pacific coasts of tropical west America, Peru, and Chile. Many of them are marketed in various regions. However, the absence ... -
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 ... -
Systematic analysis and evolution of 5S ribosomal DNA in metazoans
(Springer Nature, 2013-07-10)[Abstract] Several studies on 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) have been focused on a subset of the following features in mostly one organism: number of copies, pseudogenes, secondary structure, promoter and terminator ... -
Telomeric localization of the vertebrate-type hexamer repeat, (TTAGGG) ₙ, in the wedgeshell clam "Donax trunculus" and other marine invertebrate genomes
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002-05-31)[Abstract]: The hexamer repeat sequence (TTAGGG) n, found at the ends of all vertebrate chromosomes, was previously identified as the main building element of one member of aHindIII satellite DNA family characterized in ... -
Temporal genetic variation of microsatellite markers in the razor clam "Ensis arcuatus" (Bivalvia: Pharidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-12)[Abstract] The aim of this study was to characterize new microsatellite loci in the razor clam Ensis arcuatus (Bivalvia: Pharidae) and examine the temporal genetic variability of a natural bed in Cies Islands (Galicia, ... -
The 5S rDNA gene family in mollusks: characterization of transcriptional regulatory regions, prediction of secondary structures, and long-term evolution, with special attention to Mytilidae mussels
(Oxford University Press, 2011-07-01)[Abstract] Several reports on the characterization of 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) in various animal groups have been published to date, but there is a lack of studies analyzing this gene family in a much broader context. ... -
The linked units of 5S rDNA and U1 snDNA of razor shells (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pharidae)
(Nature, 2011-08)[Abstract] The linkage between 5S ribosomal DNA and other multigene families has been detected in many eukaryote lineages, but whether it provides any selective advantage remains unclear. In this work, we report the ... -
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 ... -
Tracing Back the History of Pepper (Capsicum annuum) in the Iberian Peninsula from a Phenomics Point of View
(MDPI, 2022-11-13)[Abstract] The Iberian Peninsula was the place where pepper (Capsicum annuum) entered Europe and dispersed to other continents but was also an important secondary center for its diversification. The current work evaluated ... -
Translocation in Relict Shy-Selected Animal Populations: Program Success Versus Prevention of Wildlife-Human Conflict
(Elsevier, 2022-03-11)[Abstract] Past human persecution of wildlife has acted as a major selection agent shaping many animal features including behaviour. A major component of behaviour with diverse consequences for conservation is the ...
