Identification of the main driving mechanisms in the evolution of a small coastal wetland (Traba, Galicia, NW Spain) since its origin 5700 cal yr BP
(Elsevier, 2007)This paper examines the interdependence among the different forcing factors in the evolution of the Traba coastal wetland (Galicia, NW Spain) based on lithofacies and diatom analyses of three cores reaching the basement. ... -
Impact of the historical introduction of exotic fishes on the chironomid community of Lake Azul (Azores Islands)
(Elsevier, 2017)Little is known about the effect of top predator introduction in historically fishless communities, especially on remote islands. This issue is important because it might strongly affect climate reconstructions derived from ... -
Importance of the Postcranial Skeleton in Eusuchian Phylogeny: Reassessing the Systematics of Allodaposuchid Crocodylians
(PLOS, 2021-06-09)[Abstract] Our current knowledge on the crocodyliform evolution is strongly biased towards the skull morphology, and the postcranial skeleton is usually neglected in many taxonomic descriptions. However, it is logical to ... -
Improving the Understanding of N Transport in a Rural Catchment Under Atlantic Climate Conditions From the Analysis of the Concentration–Discharge Relationship Derived From a High-Frequency Data Set
(European Geosciences Union, 2023-03-21)[Abstract] Understanding processes controlling stream nutrient dynamics over time is crucial for implementing effective management strategies to prevent water quality degradation. In this respect, the study of the nutrient ... -
Lake-level and salinity reconstruction from diatom analyses in Quillagua formation (late Neogene, Central Andean forearc, northern Chile)
(Elsevier, 1999)A sedimentary and micropaleontological study of the Quillagua Formation provides a detailed paleohydrological reconstruction of the lacustrine system which occupied the present-day hyperarid Quillagua–Llamara fore-arc Basin ... -
Leaf Wax Biomarkers of a High-Mountain Lake Area in Western Iberia—Implications for Environmental Reconstructions
(Frontiers, 2022-11-29)[Abstract] Leaf wax n-alkane biomarkers are widely used to infer past vegetation dynamics and hydroclimate changes. The use of these compounds strongly relies on the characterization of modern plants. However, few studies ... -
Long-Term Hydroclimate Variability in the Sub-Tropical North Atlantic and Anthropogenic Impacts on Lake Ecosystems: A Case Study From Flores Island, the Azores
(Elsevier, 2022-06-01)[Abstract] Human land use and climate change threaten ecosystems and natural resources, particularly on remote islands such as the Azores Archipelago in the North Atlantic. Since the official Portuguese settlement of the ... -
Nitrate and Phosphorus Transport in a Galician River (NW Iberian Peninsula): Insights From Fourteen Years of Monitoring
(Frontiers, 2023-01-13)[Abstract] The long-term development of water quality metrics is critical to estimate the status of water resources and successful catchment management. This study looks at the temporal evolution of nitrate and phosphorus ... -
Oceanographical Context of the First Bloom of the Silicoflagellate Octactis speculum (Ehrenberg) Recorded to Cause Salmon Mortality in a Galician Ria: Was This Bloom a Rare Event in the Iberian Coast?
(MDPI, 2023-07-02)[Abstract] Harmful algal blooms are one of the leading causes of mortality in salmon aquaculture, with significant economic consequences. From 15 to 31 October 1996, a bloom of the skeletonized form of Octactis speculum ... -
Palaeohistology Reveals a Slow Pace of Life for the Dwarfed Sicilian Elephant
(Springer Nature, 2021-11-24)[Abstract] The 1-m-tall dwarf elephant Palaeoloxodon falconeri from the Pleistocene of Sicily (Italy) is an extreme example of insular dwarfism and epitomizes the Island Rule. Based on scaling of life-history (LH) traits ... -
Paleotsunami Evidence in the Bahía Inglesa Coast (Atacama, Chile) Based on a Multi-Approach Analysis
(Springer Nature, 2022-02-24)[Abstract] The Atacama coast is located in an area with a current high risk of tsunami, and the sedimentary deposits found in the Bahía Inglesa area, in the Morro sector, clearly indicate that this was also the case in the ... -
Plastic Debris in Lakes and Reservoirs
(Springer Nature, 2023)[Abstract] Plastic debris is thought to be widespread in freshwater ecosystems globally1. However, a lack of comprehensive and comparable data makes rigorous assessment of its distribution challenging2,3. Here we present ... -
Potential Impact of Climate Change on Suspended Sediment Yield in NW Spain: A Case Study on the Corbeira Catchment
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2016)[Abstract] Soil losses and the subsequent sediment delivery constitute significant environmental threats. Climate change is likely to have an impact on the availability of water and therefore on sediment yield in catchments. ... -
Primary Drivers of Dune Cover and Shoreline Dynamics: A Conceptual Model Based on the Iberian Atlantic Coast
(Elsevier, 2023-02-15)[Abstract] Coastal dunes evolve in direct response to primary drivers, such as wind and waves, which can significantly influence the landscape. Here, we examine the effects of the wind and wave regimes on the vegetation ... -
Prolagus Pomel, 1853 (Lagomorpha, Mammalia) in the Framework of the Pliocene Faunal Rearrangements in Central Europe
(Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (París), 2021-06-28)[Abstract] Pliocene occurrences of Prolagus Pomel, 1853 in central Europe represent anomalies out of the peri-Mediterranean area, at that time the core distribution of the genus. Though known for several decades, those ... -
Recent Global Warming Induces the Coupling of Dissimilar Long-Term Sedimentary Signatures in Two Adjacent Volcanic Lakes (Azores Archipelago, Portugal)
(Elsevier, 2023-01-30)[Abstract] Paleoclimatological information derived from the study of lacustrine sedimentary records is not only biased by taphonomical processes but also by potential differences in the expression of climate variability ... -
Relationship of Weather Types on the Seasonal and Spatial Variability of Rainfall, Runoff, and Sediment Yield in the Western Mediterranean Basin
(MDPI, 2020-06-09)[Abstract] Rainfall is the key factor to understand soil erosion processes, mechanisms, and rates. Most research was conducted to determine rainfall characteristics and their relationship with soil erosion (erosivity) ... -
Stratification Strength and Light Climate Explain Variation in Chlorophyll 𝑎 at the Continental Scale in a European Multilake Survey in a Heatwave Summer
