Classification of Risks for Landslides in Slopes and Hillsides of Volcanic Nature in Macaronesia and Their Application to the Canary Islands

Géosciences, 2023
Due to their genesis, volcanic rocks present some singularities that make their geotechnical characteristics significantly different from other more common types of massifs, such as sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.

Diel activity of free-ranging cats and their mammalian and avian prey on the oceanic Madeira Island, Macaronesia

Zeitschrift f\ ur Jagdwissenschaft
Species’ activity patterns offer insights into overall behaviour as well as intra- and inter-species interactions. In multiply invaded systems, synergistic interactions between invasive species can contribute to the decline of native fauna.

Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.

Disentangling the genetic and morphological structure of Patella candei complex in Macaronesia (NE Atlantic) [PDF]

, 2017
The uptake of natural living resources for human consumption has triggered serious changes in the balance of ecosystems. In the archipelagos of Macaronesia (NE Atlantic), limpets have been extensively exploited probably since islands were first colonized.
