Intraspecific variation and detectability of iridescence in the dorsal coloration of a wall lizard

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 3, Page 239-255, July 2025.
Wall lizards (genus Podarcis) show substantial intraspecific colour variation and iridescence, which may interact and affect overall colour appearance. Here, we set out to study iridescence in Podarcis liolepis in two localities in which lizards are known to differ in dorsal coloration. Our results show that P.

Hurricane‐induced changes in mayfly assemblage structure, production and emergence in a tropical island stream Cambios inducidos por los huracanes en la estructura, producción, y emergencia del ensamblaje de Ephemeroptera de una quebrada de isla tropical

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 201-213, February 2025.
Hurricanes create major disturbances to stream ecosystems by producing large floods and removing riparian vegetation. Understanding their impacts is a priority, as hurricane intensity will increase with global climate change. Hurricane disturbance shifts mayfly assemblages from dominance by Leptophlebiidae before to Baetidae after.

Chía and its wild relatives: A superfood Salvia (Lamiaceae)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1284-1292, November 2024.
Alternative crops are a promising approach to address the global food shortage that is exacerbated by climate change and wealth disparities. Some of these alternative crops are traditional food plants that have been widely traded for centuries, whereas others have only recently become more popular.

Rights of nature in the Inter‐American Court of Human Rights: Understanding the ecocentric approach to the right to a healthy environment

open access: yesReview of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 521-535, November 2024.
Abstract The recognition of the right to a healthy environment as an autonomous and justiciable right in Advisory Opinion OC‐23/17 represents the turning point of the Inter‐American Court of Human Rights towards the adoption of an ecocentric approach.

Swimming ability of the Carybdea marsupialis (Cnidaria: Cubozoa: Carybdeidae): implications for its spatial distribution

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 1, Page 1-10, September 2024.
In this paper we analyzed the swimming speed, effective velocity, effective displacement index (EDI) and proficiency of juvenile to adult specimens (ranging from 1.1 to 36 mm of the diagonal bell width) of the box jellyfish Carybdea marsupialis. Abstract Although usually considered part of the plankton, cubozoans are strong swimmers.

Effects of repeated embryo flushing without PGF2α administration on luteal function, percentage of unwanted pregnancy and subsequent fertility in mares

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 796-805, July 2024.
Abstract Background PGF2α is commonly given at the end of embryo flushing (EF) to shorten the interval to the next oestrus and ovulation. Objectives To determine the effect of repeated EF on plasma progesterone concentration, percentage of mares with endometritis, unwanted pregnancy and subsequent fertility in mares flushed without the use of PGF2α ...

Vulnerability of Eastern Tropical Pacific chondrichthyan fish to climate change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 7, July 2024.
This assessment identifies sharks' vulnerability to climate change in a data‐poor tropical region and suggests management actions. Abstract Climate change is an environmental emergency threatening species and ecosystems globally. Oceans have absorbed about 90% of anthropogenic heat and 20%–30% of the carbon emissions, resulting in ocean warming ...

Land use determines Mediterranean ecosystems' multifunctionality more than plant richness or habitat composition

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 476-488, March 2024.
Our results highlight the importance of remnant native forest to provide multiple ecosystem functions and the potential to restore them and complement these uses with sustainable agriculture. By merging landscape and ecosystem approaches we provide specific numbers regarding the proportion that each land use should have in order to maximise ...

Identifying the foraging grounds of the new loggerhead turtle nesters in the western Mediterranean

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract The western Mediterranean Sea has traditionally served as a primary foraging ground for juvenile loggerhead turtles from three distinct regional management units: the North‐western Atlantic, the Mediterranean and Cape Verde. Nesting activities were sporadic.
