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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Cytogenetics of the razor clam "Solen marginatus" (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Solenidae)
(Karger, 2003)
[Abstract:] The razor clam Solen marginatus has a diploid chromosome number of 38. The karyotype consists of one metacentric/submetacentric, three submetacentric/metacentric, five submetacentric, one submetacentric/subtelocentric, ...
Comparative analysis of different satellite DNAs in four Mytilus species
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2002-10)
[Abstract:] We report the characterization of three satellite DNAs in four species of mussel: Mytilus edulis, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Mytilus trossulus, and Mytilus californianus. The monomers of the Apa I satellite ...
Birth-and-death evolution with strong purifying selection in the histone H1 multigene family and the origin of "orphon" H1 genes
(Oxford University Press, 2004-10)
[Abstract:] Histones are small basic nuclear proteins with critical structural and functional roles in eukaryotic genomes. The H1 multigene family constitutes a very interesting histone class gathering the greatest number ...
Common evolutionary origin and birth-and-death process in the replication-independent histone H1 isoforms from vertebrate and invertebrate genomes
(Springer Nature, 2005-09)
[Abstract]The H1 histone multigene family shows the greatest diversity of isoforms among the five histone gene families, including replication-dependent (RD) and replication-independent (RI) genes, according to their ...
