Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 We report a high species richness of up to seven phoretic mite taxa, including five unspecified taxa, actively using the red palm weevil as a host in the first study of these organisms in Portugal. We also found body size‐dependent effects on the coexistence or exclusion of phoretic mite taxa that ultimately determine their distribution patterns on the

Net carbon balance study for selected roads in Tenerife, Canary Islands
Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 1023-1030, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Carbon dioxide emissions linked to the transport sector are particularly relevant to islands. The Canary Islands have high level of tourism, with tourists who generally travel in rented vehicles on arrival in the archipelago. In addition, mobility of the local population in the islands is also always growing.

Are plant communities on the Canary Islands resistant to plant invasion?
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 51-60, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Oceanic islands are renowned for their unique flora and high levels of endemism. Native island plants, however, are imperilled by non‐native species that can become invasive by outcompeting natives. The threat of native island assemblages generally increases with isolation and the number of endemics featured, but also with human‐associated ...

Accidental epiphytes: Ecological insights and evolutionary implications
Ecological Monographs, Volume 92, Issue 4, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Vascular epiphytes are an important component of many ecosystems and constitute a substantial part of global plant diversity. In this context, accidental epiphytism, that is, the opportunistic epiphytic growth of typically terrestrial species, deserves special attention because it provides crucial insights into the global distribution of ...
