When resilience is not enough: 2022 extreme marine heatwave threatens climatic refugia for a habitat-forming Mediterranean octocoral. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
We are convinced that this paper can contribute to a better comprehension of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. We describe how Marine Heat Waves, which have been increasing in frequency, extent and intensity during the last decades, can negatively affect habitat‐forming species over time. Abstract Climate change is impacting ecosystems

Climate and Socio-Sexual Environment Predict Interpopulation Variation in Chemical Signaling Glands in a Widespread Lizard. [PDF]

Integr Zool
High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Marine heatwaves drive recurrent mass mortalities in the Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol, 2022
During the 2015‐2019 period, the Mediterranean Sea has experienced exceptional marine heatwaves conditions resulting in the onset of five consecutive years of widespread MMEs across the basin. These MMEs affected thousands of kilometers of coastline from the surface to 45 m depth, across a range of marine habitats and taxa (50 taxa across 8 phyla).

Mediterranean octocoral populations exposed to marine heatwaves are less resilient to disturbances. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
We demonstrate that marine heat waves decrease the resilience of Mediterranean octocorals to further disturbances. Abstract The effects of climate change are now more pervasive than ever. Marine ecosystems have been particularly impacted by climate change, with marine heatwaves (MHWs) being a strong driver of mass mortality events.

Extreme temperatures detection and attribution related to external forcing in Madagascar

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 43, Issue 8, Page 3907-3924, 30 June 2023., 2023
Based on the long time series of the standard extreme temperature indices (TNx, TXx, TNn, TXn, TN10P, TX10P, TN90P, TX90P, TN1P and TX99P) and CMIP6 climate simulations, we performed the detection and attribution analysis of external forcing in Madagascar over 1950–2018. We found that the influence of anthropogenic‐plus‐natural (ALL), greenhouse gases (

Epistatic interactions between pterin and carotenoid genes modulate intra‐morph color variation in a lizard

Integrative Zoology, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 44-53, January 2022., 2022
Continuous variation within discrete color morphs has been greatly overlooked in the study of color polymorphisms. Combining visual models and genetic data to study intra‐morph variation in the polymorphic lizard Podarcis muralis, we show that the genes associated with orange coloration (sepiapterin reductase [SPR]) and yellow coloration (beta‐carotene

Antagonistic effect in vitro of three commercial strains of Bacillus sp. against the forest pathogen Diplodia corticola

Forest Pathology, Volume 51, Issue 5, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Botryosphaeria canker of Quercus suber (causal agent: Diplodia corticola) poses a major threat for cork production along the western Mediterranean Basin. Infection by D. corticola induces cankers, which reduce tree vigour and compromise phellem regeneration. European policies in forest health advise the use of environmentally friendly methods,

Synergism between oral paracetamol and nefopam in a murine model of postoperative pain

European Journal of Pain, Volume 25, Issue 8, Page 1770-1787, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Background The use of paracetamol or nefopam for postoperative pain control is limited by the need of high doses associated with unwanted effects. Previous works suggest positive interactions between both compounds that may be exploited to obtain potentiation of antinociception. Methods Mechanical and heat antinociception induced by oral doses

Impact of introduction pathways on the spread and geographical distribution of alien species: Implications for preventive management in mediterranean ecosystems

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 1019-1034, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim To test whether alien species with contrasting introduction pathways differ in range size, geographical distribution and their relationship with environmental variables. Location Catalonia (NE Spain). Methods We obtained records of 869 alien species from the Catalan alien species database at the 10‐km UTM cell scale.
