Structural changes in the interannual variability of extreme autumn precipitation in eastern Spain and the weakening of synoptic forcing

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Total autumn precipitation in eastern Spain remains stable between 1950 and 2024, masking a substantial internal redistribution between ordinary and extreme rainfall. While torrential precipitation (Rp95) increases and ordinary precipitation (Ro) decreases, the extreme contribution index (Cext) shows a significant positive trend and a structural shift ...

Giant phytoplankton revealed by in situ imaging

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Deployment of an autonomous Zooglider in the western Mediterranean Sea revealed the presence of long phytoplankton chains attaining maximum lengths of 6.4–10.4 mm suspended in situ. Elongate chains included the diatoms Guinardia, Proboscia, two other diatom morphologies, and solitary filaments of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium. Most elongate

Ibero‐Balearic plant disjunctions: genomic support for rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonizations of the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis (Brassicaceae) despite no dispersal syndromes

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1560-1572, August 2026.
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing data reveal six well‐defined clades in the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis, endemic to the western Mediterranean Basin and indicate rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonisations across the Balearic Islands and the eastern Iberian coast despite the absence of dispersal syndromes.

Decoupling Groundwater Trends From Climatic Drivers: Evidence of Human‐Dominated Aquifer Dynamics in a Mediterranean Island

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Long‐term piezometric analysis of 18 monitoring wells in Menorca (1984–2020) reveals that 14 wells show declining groundwater trends despite neutral or positive climatic water balance signals. Multi‐scale SPEI–SGI correlation analysis confirms widespread climate–groundwater decoupling, driven by sustained over‐abstraction rather than reduced recharge ...

Beta‐Thalassemia in Spain: Results From the National Thalassemia Registry and Molecular Analysis of Patients With Transfusion‐Dependent Thalassemia

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 14, July 2026.
This nationwide registry‐based study describes the clinical and molecular characteristics of 78 patients with transfusion‐dependent beta‐thalassemia in Spain. Comprehensive genetic analysis revealed marked molecular heterogeneity, with 24 HBB mutations identified and a predominance of β0 genotypes, alongside generally effective transfusion and iron ...

Investigating Sex‐Biased Dispersal in a Vulnerable Marine Invertebrate, the European Spiny Lobster (Palinurus elephas)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Does dispersal differ between the sexes? Our findings underscore the power of genomic markers to study sex‐biased dispersal, elucidate sex determination systems, and facilitate sex assignment, with important implications for species conservation and management. ABSTRACT Does dispersal differ between the sexes?

eDNA signals improve local predictions of fish abundances in Mediterranean coastal ecosystems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that integrating eDNA metabarcoding data into species distribution models can improve fish abundance predictions, especially for site‐attached and reef‐associated species. This approach provides a scalable and cost‐effective tool for monitoring, impact assessment, spatial planning and adaptive management of marine resources ...

Taxonomic Complexity and Conservation Implications of Mediterranean Mesophotic Rhodolith Beds

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are bioconstructions formed by coralline algae (Rhodophyta: Corallinophycidae) and are ecologically important worldwide because they provide habitats that support diverse biocenoses. However, conservation efforts are limited by gaps in our knowledge of their spatial distribution and species composition.

Medicane characteristics from high‐resolution satellite radar observations

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.
This study uses high‐resolution observations from satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to reveal that medicanes, cyclones with tropical features in the Mediterranean basin, have dynamical characteristics with attributes comparable with those of tropical cyclones of similar intensities, but smaller outer sizes and Rossby numbers.
