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 ... -
Giardia sp. and Cryptosporidium sp. in Iberian Wolf
(National Documentation Centre (EKT), 2019-07-12)[Abstract]: A subsample consisting of fifty fecal samples from wild Iberian Wolf (Canis lupus signatus), from the northwest of Spain were collected in the field. The samples were analyzed for cysts of Giardia sp. and oocysts ... -
Hair Cortisol Concentration Reflects the Life Cycle and Management of Grey Wolves Across Four European Populations
(Springer Nature, 2022-04-05)[Abstract]: The grey wolf (Canis lupus) persists in a variety of human-dominated landscapes and is subjected to various legal management regimes throughout Europe. Our aim was to assess the effects of intrinsic and ... -
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 ... -
Isolation and characterization of 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci for the rockpool shrimp Palaemon elegans using Illumina MiSeq sequencing
(Springer Nature, 2018-11-21)[Abstract] The rockpool shrimp Palaemon elegans is considered an important crustacean species within the European coastline fauna. This species is experiencing an ongoing geographical expansion beyond its native distribution ... -
Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the razor clam "Ensis siliqua"
(Wiley, 2007-03)[Abstract] Five polymorphic microsatellite loci in the razor clam Ensis siliqua are described. A collection consisting of 34 individuals from Finisterre, Spain, was analysed. Loci were isolated from the sequences of ... -
Karyological Characterization of the Endemic Iberian Rock Lizard, Iberolacerta Monticola (Squamata, Lacertidae): Insights into Sex Chromosome Evolution
(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 ... -
Karyotypes and Ag-NORs of the mussels Mytilus californianus and M. trossulus from the Pacific Canadian coast
(Elsevier, 1997-01-01)[Abstract] The karyotypes and the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) of “M. californianus” and “M. trossulus” from the Pacific coast are reported here for the first time. The karyotypes show seven metacentric and seven ... -
Landscape Genetics of the Protected Spanish Moon Moth in Core, Buffer, and Peripheral Areas of the Ordesa Y Monte Perdido National Park (Central Pyrenees, Spain)
(Springer, 2023-05-31)[Abstract] Conservation managers need to know the degree of connectivity showed by the populations to be preserved, especially when protected areas and/or species are involved. One of the conservation projects carried out ... -
Large Effective Size as Determinant of Population Persistence in Anostraca (Crustacea: Branchiopoda)
(Springer, 2023-05-26)[Abstract] The fairy shrimp Branchinectella media, because of its passive dispersal capacity and scarce and irregularly distributed habitats (temporary saline aquatic systems), is an intriguing organism from a population ... -
Local Prior Information and Mainland Overflow Explain Avian Colonisation in a Major Land-Bridge Island
(Wiley, 2023-06-23)[Abstract] Aim: The relative roles of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and those of local and regional variables, in island colonisation, remain major biogeographical questions. Thus, we analysed avian colonisation records ... -
Long-term evolution of 5S ribosomal DNA seems to be driven by birth-and-death processes and selection in "Ensis" razor shells (Mollusca: Bivalvia)
(Springer Nature, 2009-10)[Abstract] A study of nucleotide sequence variation of 5S ribosomal DNA from six Ensis species revealed that several 5S ribosomal DNA variants, based on differences in their nontranscribed spacers (NTS), occur in Ensis ... -
Membrane-Bound Class III Peroxidases: Unexpected Enzymes with Exciting Functions
(MDPI, 2018-09-21)[Abstract] Class III peroxidases are heme-containing proteins of the secretory pathway with a high redundance and versatile functions. Many soluble peroxidases have been characterized in great detail, whereas only a few ... -
Mitogenome Phylogenetics in the Genus Palaemon (Crustacea: Decapoda) Sheds Light on Species Crypticism in the Rockpool Shrimp P. Elegans
(PLOS, 2020-08-18)[Abstract] The genus Palaemon comprises worldwide marine and freshwater shrimps and prawns, and some of them are ecologically or commercially important species. Palaemon is not currently a monophyletic group, so phylogenetics ... -
Molecular and evolutionary analysis of mussel histone genes ("Mytilus" spp.): possible evidence of an "orphon origin" for H1 histone genes
(Springer Nature, 2002-09)[Abstract:] Linker histones are a divergent group of histone proteins with an independent evolutionary history in which, besides somatic subtypes, tissue- and differentiation-specific subtypes are included. In the present ... -
Molecular evolutionary characterization of the mussel "Mytilus" histone multigene family: first record of a tandemly repeated unit of five histone genes containing an H1 subtype with orphon features
(Springer Nature, 2004-02)[Abstract] The present work represents the first characterization of a clustered histone repetitive unit containing an H1 gene in a bivalve mollusk. To complete the knowledge on the evolutionary history of the histone ... -
Molecular organization and phylogenetic analysis of 5S rDNA in crustaceans of the genus "Pollicipes" reveal birth-and-death evolution and strong purifying selection
(BioMed Central, 2011-10-17)[Abstract] Background: The 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) is organized in tandem arrays with repeat units that consist of a transcribing region (5S) and a variable nontranscribed spacer (NTS), in higher eukaryotes. Until ... -
