Ecological relevance of non-perennial rivers for the conservation of terrestrial and aquatic communities. [PDF]
Abstract River conservation efforts traditionally focus on perennial watercourses (i.e., those that do not dry) and their associated aquatic biodiversity. However, most of the global river network is not perennial and thus supports both aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. We assessed the conservation value of nonperennial rivers and streams (NPRS) in

Abstract Understanding the crustal fault interaction and connection between earthquakes in areas with slow tectonic deformation, such as Betic Cordillera (South Spain), is challenging. When seismic rates are low and large destructive earthquakes happen less frequently, it is necessary to resort to historical or paleoseismic records.

Abstract Dwarfism is a common feature affecting organisms across extreme events that characterized the Earth history, frequently referred as the result of “stressed conditions.” To date, no study addressed the morphological and biometric changes across the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), one of the most recent and impacting event occurred in the ...

New insights on the seismogenic potential of the Eastern Betic Shear Zone (SE Iberia): Quaternary activity and paleoseismicity of the SW segment of the Carrascoy Fault Zone [PDF]
The Carrascoy Fault (CAF) is one of the main active faults that form part of the Eastern Betic Shear Zone, a 450 km fault system that accommodates most of the convergence between the Eurasian (Iberia) and Nubian plates in the Betic Cordillera, south ...

In the current context of climate change, improving groundwater monitoring and management is an important issue for human communities in arid environments. The exploitation of groundwater resources can trigger land subsidence producing damage in urban structures and infrastructures.

Deformational behaviours of alluvial units detected by advanced radar interferometry in the Vega Media of the Segura River, southeast Spain [PDF]
It is widely known that differential land subsidence in a valley significantly controls its fluvial dynamics. Nevertheless, major uncertainty exists about the way in which alluvial forms respond to this process.

Tectonic evolution of the Bajo Segura Basin northern limit. Implications for the Crevillente Fault Evolution [PDF]
En este estudio presentamos los resultados del análisis estructural del borde norte de la cuenca del Bajo Segura, en la cordillera Bética oriental. En este borde se desarrolla el sinclinal de Crevillente; se trata de un pliegue de propagación de falla ...

Grazing and climate interact to regulate greening trends in Mediterranean grasslands
Our results show that traditional grazing systems can maintain grassland stability without causing degradation, but they can also increase the ecosystem's vulnerability to climate change. We provide clear evidence that GPS‐based livestock monitoring is a powerful and scalable tool for sustainable rangeland management.

GPS deformation rates in the Bajo Segura basin (Eastern Betic Cordillera) [PDF]
En este trabajo hemos cuantificado las tasas de deformación actual de la cuenca del Bajo Segura (NE del corredor de cizalla de la Bética oriental), a partir del análisis de una red GPS con 11 vértices geodésicos.
