Direct evidence supporting Darwin's hypothesis of cross-pollination promoted by sex organ reciprocity. [PDF]
Summary The floral phenotype plays a main role in the attraction and fit of pollinators. Both perianth traits and the positioning of sex organs can be subjected to natural selection and determine nonrandom mating patterns in populations. In stylar‐polymorphic species, the Darwinian hypothesis predicts increased mating success between individuals with ...

Selection on tropane alkaloids in native and non-native populations of Datura stramonium. [PDF]
Here, we measured phenotypic selection on two chemical defense against herbivores (atropine and scopolamine) in native (Mexico) and non‐native (Spain) populations of Datura stramonium. Our results support the assumption that the reduction in plant defense in the absence of the plant's natural enemies in invasive ranges is driven by natural selection ...

Pedro Ramón y Cajal: The Legacy of a Neurohistologist, a Medical Doctor, and a Pathologist. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The work of Santiago Ramón y Cajal is difficult to understand without knowing the personalities of Justo, his father, and his brother Pedro. His father practically forced the two brothers to study medicine. Thanks to that, Santiago was able to combine his artistic talent with histology and wonderfully describe cerebral architecture.

Laboratory assessment of trilostane treatment in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism. [PDF]
Abstract Background Results of ACTH stimulation test (ACTHst), pre‐ and post‐trilostane serum cortisol concentrations (SCCs), urine concentration (urine‐specific gravity [USG]), and urine cortisol : creatinine ratios (UCCRs) are common variables used to monitor trilostane treatment of dogs with pituitary‐dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH).

Pest categorisation of Aleurocanthus spp. [PDF]
Abstract The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Aleurocanthus spp., a well‐defined insect genus of the whitefly family Aleyrodidae (Arthropoda: Hemiptera). Difficulties within the taxonomy of the genus give doubt about the ability to accurately identify some members to species level. Nevertheless, the genus is thought to currently

Global warming facilitates the nesting of the loggerhead turtle on the Mediterranean coast of Spain
Average summer sand temperature (July 20th–August 10th) at 40 cm deep in Spanish Mediterranean beaches, as reconstructed from air temperature at El Prat beach, has increased from 1950 to 2019 (top figure). As a result, the duration of the viable nesting window for loggerhead turtles (bottom figure) has also increased and the thermal environment has ...

Abstract In southern Iberia, the surroundings of the Strait of Gibraltar are known as a crossroad for population movements, cultural exchanges, and trade from Late Prehistory to modern times. However, questions remain about the impact of this historical development on the environment.
