Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 119-131, January 2025.Our findings illustrate the shifting importance of natural and agricultural wetlands for godwits at different stages of the nonbreeding season. Protected areas in the Senegal Delta, particularly the Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary (Senegal) and Diawling National Park (Mauritania), are crucial habitats during the dry season as godwits prepare for their ...

Far‐reaching blues: Long‐distance migration of the invasive Atlantic blue crab
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 4, April 2024.Abstract Upstream migration of the Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus is well described in its native range, but it is little known in invaded areas. Here, we report several long‐distance migration events of the blue crab in the Iberian Peninsula and use a global database to calculate the probability of occurrence of the species in relation to ...

MASSIVE PREHISTORIC PIT SITES IN SOUTHERN IBERIA: CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND LESSONS LEARNED
Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 2-22, February 2024.Summary Archaeological sites characterized by significant concentrations of pits (‘pit sites’) were widespread in prehistoric Europe. In southern Iberia, many pit sites date back to the Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods (fourth‐third millennia BCE), and often display massive numbers of pits.

Incidence of intersex in male clams Scrobicularia plana in the Guadiana Estuary (Portugal)
Ecotoxicology, 2009 Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) known to be present in the marine environment, have great potential to influence reproductive status in aquatic organisms. A widespread incidence of intersex linked with EDCs exposure has been reported in molluscs and fish species.
