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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Phenotypic and Environmental Correlates of Natal Dispersal Movements in Fragmented Landscapes
(Springer, 2022)
[Abstract] Context
Natal dispersal critically influences eco-evolutionary dynamics and the persistence of spatially structured populations. As both short- and long-distance movements contribute to population persistence ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Phytochemical Assessment of Native Ecuadorian Peppers (Capsicum spp.) and Correlation Analysis to Fruit Phenomics
(MDPI, 2020-08-04)
[Abstract] In this work, the impact of pepper (Capsicum spp.) fruits morphology on their composition for health-promoting compounds was investigated. For that purpose, pepper accessions from Ecuador, one of the hotspots ...
