Irish Cepaea nemoralis Land Snails Have a Cryptic Franco-Iberian Origin That Is Most Easily Explained by the Movements of Mesolithic Humans.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The origins of flora and fauna that are only found in Ireland and Iberia, but which are absent from intervening countries, is one of the enduring questions of biogeography.

Unraveling Occurrence Patterns and Diversity of Avian Malaria Parasites in Iberian Obligate and Facultative Scavenger Birds

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Low overall haemosporidian occurrence (3.4%; 13/383). Unexpected high lineage diversity (10 new host–parasite interactions). Novel Leucocytozoon lineage (GYPBAR01) in all European vultures except the griffon vulture. Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) in adult red kites.

New palaeobotanical data from Carboniferous Culm deposits constrain the age of the Variscan deformation in the eastern Pyrenees

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2018
The pre-Variscan rocks of the Pyrenees exhibit a polyphase deformation linked to the Variscan crustal shortening and a low-pressure–high-temperature metamorphism. However, there is scarce chronostratigraphic evidence of this Variscan deformation. In the

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

MOMPA: InSAR monitoring in the Eastern Pyrenees

open access: yes, 2023
[EN] This paper describes the main outcomes of the European research project MOMPA (Monitoring of Ground Movements and Action Protocol). Its objective is to provide useful tools for the prevention and management of risks due to slope movements, based on the satellite monitoring InSAR (Interferometric SAR) technique. The project includes two parts: risk

Cross‐ploidy hybridisation in Alpine woodrushes is associated with ecological additivity and scale‐dependent niche divergence

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Genetic differentiation among the study species. Summary Hybridisation and whole‐genome duplication (WGD) are widespread in plants, yet their ecological consequences remain challenging to predict. In allopolyploids, where both processes coincide, ecological divergence is typically evaluated against a null hypothesis of ecological additivity.

The Heterogeneous Regional Employment Effects of Environmental Policies

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of Environmental Policies—measured by the OECD Environmental Policy Stringency Index (EPS)—on employment in 349 regions across 26 countries from 1990 to 2020. We find that more stringent EPS have short‐term negative effects on regional employment, which disappear in the medium term.

Non-interferometric GB-SAR measurement: application to the Vallcebre landslide (eastern Pyrenees, Spain) [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013
In the last decade, ground-based interferometry has proven to be a powerful technique for continuous deformation monitoring of landslides, glaciers, volcanoes, or manmade structures, among others.

Plant endemism of the Balkan high‐mountain fens: a community‐level synthesis and their climate change perspective

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Balkan high‐mountain fens harbour unique endemic plant communities, with a west‐to‐east compositional gradient and local richness primarily shaped by palaeoclimate. As these fens have already experienced drier, warmer summers than at present, they may withstand climate change if actively and effectively protected. Abstract The phenomenon of Balkan high‐

Modélisations prospectives de l’occupation du sol. Le cas d’une montagne méditerranéenne

open access: yesCybergeo, 2004
The authors apply three methods of prospective modelling to high resolution georeferenced land cover data in a Mediterranean mountain area: GIS approach, generalized linear model and neural networks. Land cover prediction to the latest known date is used
