Reassessing North Eastern Atlantic‐Mediterranean species of Trapania (Mollusca, Nudibranchia)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 447-459, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Trapania is the second largest genus belonging to the family Goniodorididae, of which most of the species are reported from Indo‐Pacific waters. To date, there are nine species of Trapania distributed along the temperate coasts of the East Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea: Trapania fusca, Trapania graeffei, Trapania hispalensis, Trapania ...

Assessing the extinction risk of insular, understudied marine species

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Hydrothermal vents are rare deep‐sea oases that house faunal assemblages with a similar density of life as coral reefs. Only approximately 600 of these hotspots are known worldwide, most only one‐third of a football field in size. With advancing development of the deep‐sea mining industry, there is an urgent need to protect these unique ...

Inter‐country differences in the cultural ecosystem services provided by cockles

People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 71-87, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Coastal systems provide many cultural ecosystem services (CES) to humans. Fewer studies have focused solely on CES, while those comparing CES across countries are even rarer. In the case of shellfish, considerable ecosystem services focus has been placed on nutrient remediation, with relatively little on the cultural services provided, despite

Alarming decline of freshwater trigger species in western Mediterranean key biodiversity areas

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1367-1379, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Theidentification of key biodiversity areas (KBA) was initiated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2004 to overcome taxonomic biases in the selection of important areas for conservation, including freshwater ecosystems.

Assessing the genetic diversity in Argopecten nucleus (Bivalvia: Pectinidae), a functional hermaphrodite species with extremely low population density and self‐fertilization: Effect of null alleles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 9, Page 3919-3931, May 2020., 2020
The microsatellite markers exhibited high levels of genetic diversity in the Argopecten nucleus population of Neguanje Bay (Santa Marta, Colombia), but also indicated a high homozygosity, suggesting the occurrence of the self‐fertilization associated with the low‐population densities reported for the species. Abstract Argopecten nucleus is a functional

Ultrastructural analysis of the dorsal body gland of the terrestrial snail Megalobulimus abbreviatus (Becquaert, 1948)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The ultrastructure of the reproductive gland, dorsal body (DB), of Megalobulimus abbreviatus was analysed. Electron microscope immunohistochemistry was used to detect FMRFamide-like peptides in the nerve endings within this gland.

Análisis demográfico de tres poblaciones de Zidona dufresnei localizadas en el Atlántico sudoccidental

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2015
El estudio de los patrones demográficos en especies que soportan una presión pesquera es fundamental para la conservación y manejo de sus poblaciones. Zidona dufresnei es un caracol marino endémico del Atlántico sudoccidental, y es una de las principales
