Altitudinal Barrier to the Spread of an Invasive Species: Could the Pyrenean Chain Slow the Natural Spread of the Pinewood Nematode?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Mountain ranges may delimit the distribution of native species as well as constitute potential barriers to the spread of invasive species. The invasive pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a severe forest pest inducing pine wilt disease.

Site Fidelity, Depth Preference and Vertical Movement Patterns of Lentic and Lotic European Catfish Silurus glanis

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To study variables that may trigger the dispersion of the currently expanding European catfish in its native distribution limits, 42 individuals were captured from Upper Lake Constance (lentic) and 42 from two streaming tributaries (lotic), fitted with pressure and temperature loggers, and released at the site of capture (control: lotic or ...

Body-size structure of Central Iberian mammal fauna reveals semidesertic conditions during the middle Miocene Global Cooling Event.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
We developed new quantitative palaeoclimatic inference models based on the body-size structure of mammal faunas from the Old World tropics and applied them to the Somosaguas fossil site (middle Miocene, central Iberian Peninsula).

Stable Isotope–Enabled Particle Drift Models Predict Where High‐Resolution Isotope Analyses Can Discriminate Among Larval Trajectories in Atlantic Mackerel

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine fish commonly move across distinct habitats throughout their lifetimes, particularly during larval stages, when they are particularly difficult to track. Such transitions are necessary as environmental demands and predation pressures change dramatically with increases in body size.

Fluid inclusions in magmatic ilmenite record degassing in basic magmas

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Magmatic volatile phases play a major role in igneous systems, but indirect sampling of the magmatic fluid, especially for basic magmas, remains challenging to document.

Connectivity between breeding sites, wintering areas, and migration routes in Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) breeding in the Western Palaearctic

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Detailed knowledge about bird migration patterns can enhance our understanding of the evolution of migration and temporal changes in space use throughout the annual cycle. Additionally, as many migratory bird species are experiencing population declines, understanding the connectivity between their spatial distributions during breeding, migration and ...

Controls on sedimentation in submarine canyons: Nazare, Setubal and Cascais canyons, West Iberian Margin

open access: yes, 2008
This thesis presents one of the most comprehensive studies on submarine canyons yet. Itintegrates data on the geology, geochemistry, sedimentology and oceanography of theNazaré, Setúbal and Cascais canyons, west Iberian margin, in order to constrain ...

The evolution of the rift-drift transition in the Central Iberian and Galicia-Trás-os-Montes zones, Iberian Massif

open access: yes, 2017
In the Iberian Massif a voluminous igneous activity was recorded along its reputed rifting axial (i.e., the Ossa-Morena Zone, OMZ) where three phases, separated by relatively quiescent periods, are distinguished. The first two, Early and Main rift-stage magmatic events, were defined in detail by Sánchez García et al.

Predicting habitat suitability of selected Meloidae species and future potential refugia: A case study from inner Western Anatolia

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Consensus habitat‐suitability maps identify current hotspots of species richness across the Inner Western Anatolian mountain systems. Late‐century projections (2081–2100) under SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 show range shifts and changing richness patterns, intensifying at higher elevations.
