Delimiting Phylogeographic Diversity in the Genomic Era: Application to an Iberian Endemic Frog
(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 ... -
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 ... -
Determinants of Mercury Contamination in Viperine Snakes, Natrix Maura, in Western Europe
(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 ... -
Development of Microsatellite Markers in the Razor Clam Solen Marginatus (Bivalvia: Solenidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-08)[Abstract] Four microsatellite loci in the razor clam Solen marginatus are described. Loci were isolated from the sequences of intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers and an enriched library. Detailed ... -
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 ... -
DNA content, karyotypes, and chromosomal location of 18S-5.8S-28S ribosomal loci in some species of bivalve molluscs from the Pacific Canadian coast
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2000-12)[Abstract]: The DNA content of 10 species of bivalve molluscs from British Columbia coast was determined by image analysis, and the karyotypes of the horse clam “Tressus capax”, the bent-nose macoma “Macoma nasuta”, and ... -
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 ... -
Gastrointestinal Parasites in Iberian Wolf (Canis lupus signatus) from the Iberian Peninsula
(MDPI, 2023-01-01)[Abstract]: The Iberian Peninsula is one of the most humanized areas in Europe, yet humans may cohabit with large predators, such as the Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus), at the expense of many contributions to its ... -
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)
