Changes in Management Shape the Spatial Ecology of Wild Ponies in Relation to Habitat Conservation
(Springer Link, 2022-11-23)[Abstract] Large herbivores are key regulators of open habitats across the world. Free roaming ponies have a prominent ecological role in many Atlantic landscapes, where different habitats with conservation interest are ... -
Comparative Invasion Ecology of Carpobrotus From Four Continents: Responses to Nutrients and Competition
(Oxford Academic, 2023-01-24)[Abstract] Two key hypotheses in invasion biology are that certain traits underlie invasiveness in introduced species, and that these traits are selected for during or after introduction. We tested these hypotheses by ... -
Comparative Phylogeography of a Restricted and a Widespread Heather: Genetic Evidence of Multiple Independent Introductions of Erica Mackayana Into Ireland From Northern Spain
(The Linnean Society of London, 2023-01-20)[Abstract] Species of flora and fauna occurring in the west of Ireland and south-west Europe, known as Lusitanian elements, constitute a puzzling case of isolated populations of uncertain origin. Here we studied the ... -
Coralline Algae in a Changing Mediterranean Sea: How Can We Predict Their Future, if We Do Not Know Their Present?
(Frontiers, 2019-11-29)[Abstract] In this review we assess the state of knowledge for the coralline algae of the Mediterranean Sea, a group of calcareous seaweeds imperfectly known and considered highly vulnerable to long-term climate change. ... -
Could the Annual Saccorhiza Polyschides Replace a Sympatric Perennial Kelp (Laminaria Ochroleuca) When It Comes to Supporting the Holdfast-Associated Fauna?
(Elsevier, 2022-10-22)[Abstract] Kelp forests dominate temperate rocky shores worldwide but are declining globally with consequences for organisms that depend on them. In NW Iberia, the golden kelp (Laminaria ochroleuca) commonly occurs alongside ... -
Different sets of traits explain abundance and distribution patterns of European plants at different spatial scales
(Wiley, 2021-03-18)[Abstract] Aim: Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be ... -
Earthworms Modulate Impacts of Soil Heterogeneity on Plant Growth at Different Spatial Scales
(Frontiers, 2021-12-23)[Abstract] Soil heterogeneity (uneven distribution of soil nutrients and/or other properties) is ubiquitous in nature and can greatly affect plant growth. As earthworm activity can influence nutrient redistribution in the ... -
Effect of Depth across a Latitudinal Gradient in the Structure of Rhodolith Seabeds and Associated Biota across the Eastern Atlantic Ocean
(MDPI, 2023-01-12)[Abstract] Rhodolith seabeds are ‘ecosystem engineers’ composed of free-living calcareous red macroalgae, which create extensive marine habitats. This study addressed how depth influenced the structure (size and morphology) ... -
Effects of Glyphosate Application on Physiologically Integrated Clones of the Invasive Plant Carpobrotus edulis
(MDPI, 2022-01-12)[Abstract] Management of invasive alien species is a high priority for biodiversity conservation. Here, we studied the effects of glyphosate application, at 0.06 g/m2 concentration, on physiologically integrated basal and ... -
Effects of Temporal Heterogeneity in Nutrient Supply on Intra- And Inter-Genet Competition of a Clonal Herb
(Elsevier, 2022-03-04)[Abstract] Nutrients are often released heterogeneously over time (e.g., in pulses) in natural habitats. Different genotypes of the same plant species may vary in their responses to temporal nutrient heterogeneity so that ... -
Especies exóticas invasoras. Cátedra Parques Nacionales, de Juan Junoy, 2019 [Reseña]

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 ... -
Habitat quality assessment of Atlantic wet heathlands in Serra do Xistral, NW Spain
(Universidad de La Rioja, 2019)[Abstract] The assessment of habitat quality, especially in semi-natural managed systems, provides a powerful tool for monitoring short and longterm conservation actions. The Erica mackayana Atlantic wet heathlands of the ... -
How Do Plants and Climatic Conditions Control Soil Properties in Hypersaline Tidal Flats?
(MDPI, 2020-10-29)[Abstract] Hypersaline tidal flats (HTF) are ecotones associated with mangrove ecosystems in arid and semiarid coasts. They are predominantly vegetated by halophytes which are related to environmental stabilization and ... -
Implications of Taxonomic Misidentification for Future Invasion Predictions: Evidence From One of the Most Harmful Invasive Marine Algae
(Elsevier, 2023-05-03)[Abstract] Invasive species have been a focus of concern in recent decades, becoming more problematic due to the cumulative impacts of climate change. Understanding the interactions among stress factors is essential to ... -
Influence of pH, N, P, N: P Ratio, and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon on Ulva ohnoi Growth and Biomass Quality: Potential Implications in IMTA-RAS
(MDPI, 2022-11-03)[Abstract] Ulva ohnoi has a big potential in IMTA-RAS fish–seaweed systems. In order to design the best production strategy in these systems, the effect of the main environmental factors, such as pH, nutrient concentration ... -
Isolation and characterization of fourteen polymorphic microsatellite markers in the viperine snake Natrix maura
(2019)[Abstract] Nineteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified and developed for Natrix maura. Polymorphism was assessed for 120 individuals sampled across four sampling sites from the French Pyrenees Mountains. The ... -
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 ... -
Major Loss of Coralline Algal Diversity in Response to Ocean Acidification
(Wiley, 2021-07-16)[Abstract] Calcified coralline algae are ecologically important in rocky habitats in the marine photic zone worldwide and there is growing concern that ocean acidification will severely impact them. Laboratory studies of ...
