Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

Exploring pharmacological options for adolescent depression: a preclinical evaluation with a sex perspective

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2022
There is an urgent need for developing novel pharmacological treatment options for adolescent depression, and to ensure an optimal translational outcome to the clinic, sex should be included as a biological variable in preclinical studies.

Molecular Characterization of Mosquito Diversity in the Balearic Islands

open access: yesJournal of Medical Entomology, 2020
AbstractSeveral outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases have taken place in Europe in recent years. In Spain, both active and passive surveillance have demonstrated that dengue and West Nile viruses are currently circulating, and seven autochthonous dengue cases have been reported in the last 2 yr.

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Selective estrogen receptor modifiers on the antidepressant-like effects of electroconvulsive seizures in adolescent rats

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry
During the past decade, our group has induced electroconvulsive seizures (ECS) in rodent models of early-life stress to prove clear differences in antidepressant-like efficacy mainly driven by sex and age, with females and adolescents showing diminished ...

The Balearic Islands in the Alpine Orogeny

open access: yesBoletín Geológico y Minero, 2016
The place of the Balearic Islands in the Alpine orogeny is examined using detailed sedimentology studies, stratigraphical studies from the Lower Devonian (Lochkovian) to modern times and a careful tectonic review of sedimentary formations from the Western Mediterranean.

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

The Genus viola in the Balearic Islands

open access: yesButlletí de la Institució Catalana d'Història Natural, 1991
Following the study of Balearic taxa of the genus Viola, two new nomenclatural combinations are proposed: Viola suavis Bieb. subsp. barceloi (Nyman) Orell & Romo, comb. nova; and Viola odorata L. subsp. stolonifera (Rodríguez Femenías) Orell & Romo, comb. nova.

The former distribution of White‐tailed Eagles in Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East: a case study of the importance of understanding historical distribution in informing current conservation and restoration interventions

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The importance of considering historical data in developing conservation and restoration measures for individual species and for wider ecological restoration has been pointed out by recent reviews but often remains neglected in practice. This paper provides a case study illustrating the issue through a review of the former breeding distribution of the ...

Weight self-regulation process in adolescence: the relationship between control weight attitudes, behaviors and body weight status

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2015
Adolescents’ self-control weight behaviors were assessed (n= 1961; 12-17 years old; 2007-2008) in the Balearic Islands, Spain. The study analyzed the relationships between body weight status, body image and self-weight concern, and actual attempts to ...
