Revision of Varanus marathonensis (Squamata, Varanidae) based on historical and new material: morphology, systematics, and paleobiogeography of the European monitor lizards.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Monitor lizards (genus Varanus) inhabited Europe at least from the early Miocene to the Pleistocene. Their fossil record is limited to about 40 localities that have provided mostly isolated vertebrae. Due to the poor diagnostic value of these fossils, it

Structure of Madrid basin (NE zone) derived from gravity data [PDF]

, 1994
[Abstract] Modelling of five profiles in the NE area of Madrid Basin shows that low anomalies are related to both the thicker sediments infill of the Basin and the basement rocks like gneiss and granites.

Pleistocene paleoenvironmental evolution at continental middle latitude inferred from carbon and oxygen stable isotope analysis of ostracodes from the Guadix-Baza Basin (Granada, SE Spain) [PDF]

, 2006
A representative paleoenvironmental reconstruction of continental middle latitude from ca. 2my to the upper part of Middle Pleistocene (279±77ky) was obtained from the carbon and oxygen stable isotopes analyzed in ostracode shells (Cyprideis torosa ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Evidence of Genetic Continuity in the Shortfin Mako Shark (<i>Isurus oxyrinchus</i>) Between the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Genomic analyses of shortfin mako sharks from the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea reveal a single genetically mixed population, indicating high connectivity across basins. Demographic reconstruction suggests historical stability, though recent declines may be beyond the resolution of our markers. These results underscore the need for coordinated

Impact of global climate in the diversity patterns of middle Miocene rodents from the Madrid Basin (Spain)

, 2017
Remarkable palaeoclimatic global changes have been recorded worldwide during the middle Miocene. The Miocene Climatic Optimum (~ 16.3 to ~ 15 Ma), one of the warmest phases since the Eocene, was followed by the stepwise cooling trend of the Middle ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Short communication. A survey of potential insect vectors of the plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa in three regions of Spain

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014
The emergence of a rapid-spreading olive disease associated with Xylella fastidiosa in southern Italy represents a high risk to susceptible crops in other countries of the Mediterranean basin, if insect vectors occur in the region. The goal of this study

Role of asymptomatic and symptomatic humans as reservoirs of visceral leishmaniasis in a Mediterranean context.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
BackgroundIn the Mediterranean basin, Leishmania infantum is the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a zoonosis in which the dog is the primary domestic reservoir, although wildlife may have a leading role in the sylvatic cycle of the disease
