Trophic plasticity in the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, as a function of resource availability and habitat features
(2020-03-05)
Factors controlling herbivory pressure are of central importance in shaping the seascape. In the Mediterranean, the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus is considered as a keystone herbivore in seagrass ...
The taxonomy and diversity of Proschkinia (Bacillariophyta), a common but enigmatic genus from marine coasts
(Journal of Phycology, 2020-04-07)
Detailed morphological documentation is provided for established Proschkinia taxa, including the generitype, P. bulnheimii, and P. complanata, P. complanatula, P. complanatoides and P. hyalosirella, and ...
Modelling physical characteristics of river habitats
(River Research and Applications, 2019-05-24)
The physical characteristics of river habitats constitute the setting in which fluvial biota dwell and thrive. Determining the spatial and temporal patterns of physical habitat characteristics and the ...
Age and growth of the endangered fan mussel Pinna nobilis in the western Mediterranean Sea
(Marine Environmental Research, 2019-09-28)
The present work, which is the first comparative study of the growth of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis in the western Mediterranean, encompasses 12 populations of this species living in different environments ...
Presence of Vibrio mediterranei associated to major mortality in stabled individuals of Pinna nobilis L.
(Aquaculture, 2019-12-20)
A major epizootic event attributed to Haplosporidium pinnae leading to 100% mortality of Pinna nobilis L. populations along Mediterranean coastlines started in the fall of 2016. As a result, a project ...
Hydropeaking effects on movement patterns of brown trout (Salmo trutta L.)
(River Research and Applications, 2019-04-23)
Radiotelemetry was used to investigate seasonal movement and home range of brown trout Salmo trutta (size range 188–420 mm fork length, N = 30) in two reaches of the Noguera Pallaresa River (Ebro Basin, ...
The importance of including soil carbon changes, ecotoxicity and biodiversity impacts in environmental life cycle assessments of organic and conventional milk in Western Europe
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019-01-04)
Estimates of soil carbon changes, biodiversity and ecotoxicity have often been missing from life cycle assessment based studies of organic dairy products, despite evidence that the impacts of organic ...
Presence of CTXs in moray eels and dusky groupers in the marine environment of the Canary Islandsds
(Aquatic Toxicology, 2020-01-31)
Local population frequently consumes moray eels and dusky groupers from the Canary Islands. These species are top predators and the interactions between them include predation but also, in some cases, ...
Basin-scale land use impacts on world deltas: Human vs natural forcings
(Global and Planetary Change, 2018-12-14)
A new global database of 86 deltas and river basins was analyzed to investigate the relative importance of deforestation and land use changes versus natural forcings in determining long-term total delta ...
Environmental controls on carbon sequestration, sediment accretion, and elevation change in the Ebro River Delta: Implications for wetland restoration
(Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2019-03-26)
Delta wetlands are increasingly recognized as important sinks for ‘blue carbon,’ although this and other ecosystem services that deltas provide are threatened by human activities. We investigated factors ...
