Water renewal mechanisms of the Bay of Algeciras in the Strait of Gibraltar [PDF]

, 2016
The Bay of Algeciras (BA) is a marine environment subject to high levels of anthropogenic pressure. Here we analyze observations collected at the Bay and the results of an ocean circulation model to investigate its circulation and variability.

Sertularia marginata (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) in the Mediterranean: an alien species in expansion? [PDF]

, 2013
Mature and dense populations of the tropical hydroid species Sertularia marginata were detected in the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean) and along the Atlantic coast of the Strait of Gibraltar.

Hitchhikers on an Invader: The Parasitic Leech Myzobdella lugubris and the Epibiotic Barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus on the Atlantic Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus in Southwestern Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study documents the first worldwide record of the parasitic leech Myzobdella lugubris and the commensal barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus associated with invasive Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) in southwestern Europe. Molecular analyses confirmed the identity of these Western Atlantic native species, highlighting a complex multi‐level co‐

Population Demographics of Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in Western Australia

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding population demographics is crucial for the effective conservation of species. This is particularly important for apex predators, such as the killer whale (Orcinus orca), which play important roles in maintaining the structure and function of ecosystems. In this study, we used capture‐mark‐recapture (CMR) modeling to assess killer

Fatty acid composition of the Caprellidea (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from the Strait of Gibraltar

Scientia Marina, 2004
The total fatty acid composition of nine species of caprellidean amphipods collected from the Strait of Gibraltar was investigated. All caprellids were characterised by high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly eicosapentaenoic acid, 20:5(n-3 ...

Golden Gate Bridge, as Always? Eliciting Prototypical Places From Autoregressive Large Language Models via Category Production

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Among the various theories of categorization, Eleanor Rosch's prototype theory stands out as both influential and contested. In contrast to the classical theory of concepts, prototype theory posits that humans conceptualize the world using category structures where exemplars vary in their degree of membership.

The present state of the water exchange through the Strait of Gibraltar [PDF]

, 2015
The present two-way exchange through the Strait of Gibraltar stems from the fresh water deficit of the Mediterranean basin. The size of the exchanged flows is the outcome of the climatology over the basin and the morphology and internal hydraulics of the

Leaking method approach to surface transport in the Mediterranean Sea from a numerical ocean model [PDF]

, 2004
We use Lagrangian diagnostics (the leaking and the exchange methods) to characterize surface transport out of and between selected regions in the Western Mediterranean. Velocity fields are obtained from a numerical model.

Biostimulant effects of Rugulopteryx okamurae aqueous extracts on radish growth

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract In recent years, the invasive algae Rugulopteryx okamurae has spread along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, causing ecological and economic damage. However, upwelling algae could provide a valuable source of carbon biomass for circular economy applications. Marine algae, particularly brown algae, have a long history of use in agriculture

Balancing moult, migration, and breeding in a long‐lived partially migrant raptor

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Moult, breeding, and migration are the three major life‐history events in the annual cycle of birds. All are energetically demanding processes that rarely overlap. In large raptors such as the Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus, completing a full moult may take more than one year, requiring birds to balance this process with other life‐cycle events.
