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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Tropicalization of the Mediterranean Sea Reflected in Fish Diversity Changes: A Case Study from Spanish Waters

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The Mediterranean Sea, a semi-enclosed basin at mid-latitudes, is experiencing significant environmental changes driven by global warming. This study examines recent shifts in fish species composition within Spanish Mediterranean waters, focusing on the ...

Development of coccolithophore-based transfer functions in the western Mediterranean sea: a sea surface salinity reconstruction for the last 15.5 kyr [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2015
A new data set of 88 marine surface sediment samples and related oceanic environmental variables (temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a, oxygen, etc.) was studied to quantify the relationship between assemblages of coccolithophore species and modern ...

First AUV and ROV investigation of seismogenic faults in the Alboran Sea (Western Meditarranean) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In May-June 2015 we carried out the SHAKE cruise on board the RV “Sarmiento de Gamboa” the first in situ investigation using state-of-the-art underwater vehicles, the AUVs “AsterX” and “IdefX” (IFREMER, France) and the ROV “Max Rover” (HCMR, Greece ...

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans‐Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

New insight into 3-D mesoscale eddy properties from CMEMS operational models in the western Mediterranean [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2019
Rapid evolution of operational ocean forecasting systems is driven by advances in numerics and data assimilation schemes, and increase of in situ and satellite observations.

Geodynamic evolution of a wide plate boundary in the Western Mediterranean, near-field versus far-field interactions

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2021
The present-day tectonic setting of the Western Mediterranean region, from the Pyrénées to the Betics and from the Alps to the Atlas, results from a complex 3-D geodynamic evolution involving the interactions between the Africa, Eurasia and Iberia plates

Evidence for Miocene subduction beneath the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean) from 40Ar/39Ar age dating and the geochemistry of volcanic rocks from holes 977A and 978A [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Volcanic pebbles in gravels from Sites 977 and 978 in the Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean) were dated (using the 40Ar/ 39Ar single-crystal laser technique) and analyzed for their major- and trace-element compositions (determined by X-ray ...

Genetics in the Ocean's Twilight Zone: Population Structure of the Silvery Lightfish Across Its Distribution Range

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The large estimates of mesopelagic fish biomass have long fuelled harvesting interests in the relatively untouched twilight zone of the ocean. The silvery lightfish—one of the most abundant species inhabiting the North Atlantic mesopelagic layer—is a candidate for such a fishery despite its enormous ecological importance and the insufficient ...
