Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

Earthquake crisis unveils the growth of an incipient continental fault system

Nature Communications, 2019
The Al-Idrissi Fault System in the Alboran Sea is a major tectonic structure in its initial stage. By using bathymetric and seismic reflection data, the authors unravel a 3D geometry for the AIFS, which corresponds to a crustal-scale boundary and ...

Biological aspects and population dynamics of the European pilchard Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792) in the southeastern Mediterranean waters

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1072-1086, April 2026.
Abstract The European pilchard, Sardina pilchardus, is a key small pelagic fish sustaining Mediterranean ecosystems and fisheries. This study represents the first comprehensive biological and population dynamics assessment of the European pilchard by applying the length‐based spawning potential ratio (LB‐SPR) approach to S.

Feeding guilds of western Mediterranean demersal fish and crustaceans: an analysis based in a spring survey

Scientia Marina, 2002
The MEDITS-99 sampling was performed along all the Iberian Peninsula coasts of the western Mediterranean (from the Alborán Sea to Cape Creus) in a space-scale of 1000 Km N-S, at depths ranging between 27-790 m.

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 285-299, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

New 3D Velocity Model (mTAB3D) for Absolute Hypocenter Location in Southern Iberia and the Westernmost Mediterranean

Earth and Space Science
The Trans‐Alboran Shear Zone is one of the most seismically active areas in the westernmost Mediterranean, where a wide variety of tectonic domains have developed within the context of oblique convergence between Eurasia and Africa plates. In this region,

Laguna Fuente de Piedra: An example of a dolomite factory recording ~50,000 years of depositional and paleoclimatic evolution

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study characterises carbonate mineral precipitation mechanisms and their paleoenvironmental implications in a semi‐arid, saline playa lake system. SEM image with EDS spectra shows microcrystalline, spherical shaped dolomite crystals from Laguna Fuente de Piedra composed of nanocrystals with bacterial voids and EPS.

Grounds, Beds, and Reefs of the Endangered Coral Cladocora caespitosa With Description of the Tremiti Reef

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study provides an overview of the distribution of the three ecosystem types formed by Cladocora caespitosa and describes newly discovered ones at Tremiti Islands (Adriatic Sea, Italy). The spatial distribution, biometry, size structure, and conservation status of the Cladocora formations have been investigated and compared at the Mediterranean ...
