Functional responses of aquatic macroinvertebrates to flow regulation are shaped by natural flow intermittence in Mediterranean streams
(Wiley, 2019-03-19)
Running waters in Mediterranean regions are strongly regulated by dams, which produce significant alterations to natural flow regimes. Climate change will reduce discharge and increase flow intermittence ...
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 ...
Agricultural policies against invasive species generate contrasting outcomes for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation
(The Royal Society, 2022-10-19)
Direct consequences of biological invasions on biodiversity and the environment have been largely documented. Yet collateral indirect effects mediated by changes in agri-environmental policies aimed at ...
Breeding, planktonic and settlement factors shape recruitment patterns of one of the last remaining major population of Pinna nobilis within Spanish waters
(Springer, 2019-11-27)
The pen shell, Pinna nobilis L., is a critically endangered bivalve threatened by mass mortality events throughout the Mediterranean, but the Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta) still hosts many healthy individuals. ...
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 ...
Diversity and structure of fragmented populations of a threatened endemic cyprinodontid (Aphanius sophiae) inferred from genetics and otolith morphology: Implications for conservation and management
(Wiley, 2019-12-02)
The assessment of population structure and genetic diversity is crucial for the management and conservation of threatened species. Natural and artificial barriers to dispersal (i.e., gene flow) increase ...
Ripe for reassessment: a synthesis of available molecular data for the speciose diatom family Bacillariaceae
(Elsevier, 2020-10-13)
The Bacillariaceae is a very species-rich family of raphid diatoms and includes the large and taxonomically difficult genus Nitzschia, whose species are often small-celled and finely structured and have ...
Modeling soil accretion and carbon accumulation in deltaic rice fields
(Elsevier, 2023-07-17)
Rice cultivation is popular in low-lying areas such as deltas, but climate change threatens the viability of the crop. In recent decades, the resilience of deltas to sea level rise (SLR) has been ...
Growth of juvenile Pinna nobilis in captivity conditions: Dietary and pathological constraints
(Elsevier, 2020-02-25)
The fan mussel, Pinna nobilis, is an endemic Mediterranean species, whose populations have been seriously affected by infectious diseases. The effect of diet composition on growth and survival rates, ...
Evaluating the extent and impact of the extreme Storm Gloria on Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows
(Elsevier, 2023-11-07)
Extreme storms can trigger abrupt and often lasting changes in ecosystems by affecting foundational (habitat-forming) species. While the frequency and intensity of extreme events are projected to increase ...
