Habitat and Scale Shape the Demographic Fate of the Keystone Sea Urchin Paracentrotus lividus in Mediterranean Macrophyte Communities
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-20)
Demographic processes exert different degrees of control as individuals grow, and in species that span several habitats and
spatial scales, this can influence our ability to predict their population ...
Drought decreases incorporation of recent plant photosynthate into soil food webs regardless of their trophic complexity
(Wiley, 2019-07-13)
Theory suggests that more complex food webs promote stability and can buffer the effects of perturbations, such as drought, on soil organisms and ecosystem functions. Here, we tested experimentally how ...
Adult spawning and early larval development of the endangered bivalve Pinna nobilis
(Elsevier, 2017-10-16)
The development of aquaculture activities has posed an alternative solution for the preservation of some overexploited shellfish fisheries worldwide. In the same way, endemic Mediterranean bivalves such ...
Normalized abundance spectra of fish community reflect hydro-peaking on a Mediterranean large river
(Elsevier, 2018-10-19)
The European Water Framework Directive requires the integration of body size characters as an important part of fish-based bioassessment tools for freshwaters ecological status determination. The study ...
Neglecting the fallow season can significantly underestimate annual methane emissions in Mediterranean rice fields
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-31)
Paddy rice fields are one of the most important sources of anthropogenic methane. Improving the accuracy in the CH4 budget is fundamental to identify strategies to mitigate climate change. Such improvement ...
Taxonomy and diversity of a little-known diatom genus Simonsenia (Bacillariaceae) in the marine littoral: novel taxa from the Yellow Sea and the Gulf of Mexico
(National Botanic Garden of Belgium and Royal Botanical Society of Belgium, 2019-07-09)
Background and aims – The diatom genus Simonsenia has been considered for some time a minor taxon, limited in its distribution to fresh and slightly brackish waters. Recently, knowledge of its diversity ...
Changing nutrients, changing rivers
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019-08-16)
Eutrophication—the excessive enrichment of a body of water with nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)—is Earth's most widespread problem for water quality (1, 2). Growing evidence suggests ...
Alternative Methods for the Detection of Emerging Marine Toxins: Biosensors, Biochemical Assays and Cell-Based Assays
(MDPI, 2014-11-26)
The emergence of marine toxins in water and seafood may have a considerable impact on public health. Although the tendency in Europe is to consolidate, when possible, official reference methods based ...
Use of a hydrodynamic model for the management of water renovation in a coastal system
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2019-03-04)
In this contribution we investigate the hydrodynamic response in Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta, NW Mediterranean Sea) to different anthropogenic modifications in freshwater flows and inner bay–open sea ...
Living on the Edge: Demography of the Slender-Billed Gull in the Western Mediterranean
(Public Library of Science, 2014-03-24)
Small and peripheral populations are typically vulnerable to local extinction processes but important for the metapopulation dynamics of species. The Slender-billed gull (Chroicocephalus genei) is a ...
