Predicting the risk of aquatic plant invasions in Europe: How climatic factors and anthropogenic activity influence potential species distributions
(Urban und Fischer Verlag GmbH und Co. KG, 2018-09)
Predicting where species invasions will occur is one of the greatest challenges in conservation. Freshwater ecosystems are very vulnerable to the introduction of non-native species for two reasons: (1) there are many routes ...

Style polymorphism in Linum (Linaceae): a case of Mediterranean parallel evolution?
(Wiley, 2018)
•Heterostyly is a sex polymorphism that has challenged evolutionary biologists eversince Darwin. One of the lineages where heterostyly and related stylar conditionsappear more frequently isLinum(Linaceae). This group is ...

A new methodology for estimating rainfall aggressiveness risk based on daily rainfall records for multi-decennial periods
(Elsevier, 2018)
The temporal irregularity of rainfall, characteristic of a Mediterranean climate, corresponds to the irregularity of the environmental effects on soil. We used aggressiveness as an indicator to quantify the potential ...

Gender dimorphism in Corema album across its biogeographical area and implications under a scenario of extreme drought events
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
In dioecious species, traits may have evolved because of significantly different resource demands associated with male versus female sexual reproduction. It is generally assumed that females have higher reproductive costs, ...

Groundwater drawdown drives ecophysiological adjustments of woody vegetation in a semi-arid coastal ecosystem
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-10)
Predicted droughts and anthropogenic water use will increase groundwater lowering rates and intensify groundwater limitation, particularly for Mediterranean semi-arid ecosystems. These hydrological changes may be expected ...

A procedure to assess the spatial variability in the importance of abiotic factors affecting distributions: the case of world freshwater fishes
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
Understanding the factors shaping species' distributions is a key longstanding topic in ecology with unresolved issues. The aims were to test whether the relative contribution of abiotic factors that set the geographical ...
