A Simple and Inexpensive Method to Gain Diatom Absolute Abundances from Permanent Mounts in Hydrobiological and Paleoecological Research
(MDPI, 2023-05-13)
[Abstract] Here, we describe and discuss a method based on microscopical field of view (FOV) area to estimate diatom absolute abundances (densities or concentrations), and we statistically verify its reliability, also ...
Updating the National Baseline of Non-Indigenous Species in Spanish Marine Waters
(MDPI, 2023-05-05)
[Abstract] The introduction of new non-indigenous species (NIS) in Spanish marine waters is addressed under Descriptor 2 of the European Union’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive. National baseline inventories of NIS ...
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) ...
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 ...
Species composition, distribution, and zonation patterns in the intertidal seaweed assemblages from Santo Antão, Cape Verde
(Elsevier, 2023)
[Abstract] Intertidal communities have been extensively studied for decades. Many of these studies have focused on macroalgae, as they are key components of many rocky coastal ecosystems. Despite this, there are
still ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Timing of the Deglaciation in the Atlantic Iberian Mountains: Insights From the Stratigraphic Analysis of a Lake Sequence in Serra Da Estrela (Portugal)
(Wiley, 2023-02-07)
[Abstract] Understanding the environmental response to the last glacial termination in regions located in transitional climate zones such as the Atlantic Iberian mountains is crucial to estimate potential changes in regions ...
