Navigating through space and time: A methodological approach to quantify spatiotemporal connectivity using stream flow data as a case study
(Wiley, 2023-05-16)
1. The growing interest in combining spatial and temporal patterns in nature has been fostered by the current availability of high-frequency measurements. However, we still lack a methodological framework ...
Prism substructures in the shell of Pinna nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758), Mollusca – Evidence for a three-dimensional pulsed-growth model
(Elsevier, 2020-07-20)
In the shells of the Pelecypods belonging to the Pinnidae family, the calcareous prismatic units of the outer layer are long-standing references for biomineralization studies. To elucidate how the ...
Assessment of marine benthic diatom communities: insights from a combined morphological–metabarcoding approach in Mediterranean shallow coastal waters
(Elsevier, 2022-01-18)
We investigated the advantages and disadvantages of light microscope (LM)-based identifications and DNA metabarcoding, based on a 312-bp rbcL marker, for examining benthic diatom communities from ...
Analysing the contribution of intermittent rivers to beta diversity can improve freshwater conservation in Mediterranean rivers
(Springer, 2024-04-25)
In Mediterranean climate regions, intermittent rivers (IRs) harbor highly dynamic communities with species and trait composition changing over time and space. Simultaneously considering multiple ...
Global trends in nature’s contributions to people
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-12-07)
Declining biodiversity and ecosystem functions put many of nature’s contributions to people at risk. We review and synthesize the scientific literature to assess 50-y global trends across a broad range ...
Recruitment disruption and the role of unaffected populations for potential recovery after the Pinna nobilis mass mortality event
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-29)
A devastating mass mortality event (MME) very likely caused by the protozoan Haplosporidium pinnae first detected in 2016 in the Western Mediterranean Sea, is pushing the endemic bivalve Pinna nobilis ...
Cell immunolocalization of ciguatoxin-like compounds in the benthic dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus australes M. Chinain & M.A. Faust by confocal microscopy
(Elsevier, 2022-11-23)
Dinoflagellates of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are able to produce potent neurotoxins like ciguatoxins (CTXs), which, after biooxidation in fish, are responsible for ciguatera intoxication. An ...
Wide-Geographic and Long-Term Analysis of the Role of Pathogens in the Decline of Pinna nobilis to Critically Endangered Species
(Frontiers Media, 2022-03-17)
A mass mortality event (MME) affecting the fan mussel Pinna nobilis was first detected in Spain in autumn 2016 and spread north- and eastward through the Mediterranean Sea. Various pathogens have been ...
Modeling the Impact of Salinity Variations on Aquatic Environments: Including Negative and Positive Effects in Life Cycle Assessment
(American Chemical Society, 2022-01-05)
Salinity is changing in aquatic systems due to anthropogenic activities (like irrigation or dam management) and climate change. Although there are studies on the effects of salinity variations on ...
Disentangling drivers of soil organic carbon storage in deltaic rice paddies from the Ebro Delta
(Elsevier, 2023-04-17)
Paddy farming can potentially sequester carbon. However, agricultural practices may alter the stability of the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and thereby increase carbon mobilization in the topsoil ...
