Evolutionary and environmental determinants of heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in herpetofauna. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on

Efficient but Elusive Rhizobia Fix Nitrogen in the Wild Legumes Bituminaria bituminosa and Coronilla Viminalis. [PDF]

J Basic Microbiol
ABSTRACT In ecological restoration of degraded natural habitats, revegetation with wild native plants is a priority. Legumes play a key role in this process through nitrogen (N)‐fixing symbiosis with rhizobia, obtaining N for their growth and improving soil fertility, which benefits other nonleguminous plants in the environment. This study explores the

Evolutionary Changes in Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) and Related Traits During the Diversification of <i>Aichryson</i> (Crassulaceae) on the Macaronesian Islands. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We explore evolutionary changes in Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and associated traits during the diversification of Aichryson (Crassulaceae) across the Macaronesian Islands. By combining field data, physiological measurements and phylogenetic analysis, we identify shifts in photosynthetic strategy linked to habitat transitions.

Parallel evolution of arborescent carrots (Daucus) in Macaronesia. [PDF]

Am J Bot, 2020
Premise Despite intensive research, the pathways and driving forces behind the evolution of derived woodiness on oceanic islands remain obscure. The genus Daucus comprises mostly herbs (therophytes, hemicryptophytes) with few rosette treelets (chamaephytes) endemic to various Macaronesian archipelagos, suggesting their independent evolution.

Does the loss of diadromy imply the loss of salinity tolerance? A gene expression study with replicate nondiadromous populations of Galaxias maculatus

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 2219-2233, May 2023., 2023
Abstract The recurrent colonization of freshwater habitats and subsequent loss of diadromy is a major ecological transition that has been reported in many ancestrally diadromous fishes. Such residency is often accompanied by a loss of tolerance to seawater.

Biogeographic origins and drivers of alien plant invasions in the Canary Islands

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 576-590, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Understanding the historical and contemporaneous drivers of invasion success in island systems can decisively contribute to identifying sources and pathways that are more likely to give rise to new invaders. Based on a floristic‐driven approach, we aimed at determining the origins of the invasive alien flora of the Canary Islands and ...
