Impact of natural degradation of the invasive alga Rugulopteryx okamurae on anaerobic digestion: Heavy metal pollution and kinetic performance
(Elsevier, 2023-07)
This study shows, for the first time, how the natural biodegradation of the Phaeophyceae Rugulopteryx okamurae (R.o.) affects its methane yield, by biochemical methane potential assays, and the methane production kinetics. ...

Climate matching and anthropogenic factors contribute to the colonization and extinction of local populations during avian invasions
(Wiley, 2022)
Aim: Concern about the impacts of biological invasions has generated a great deal of interest in understanding factors that determine invasion success. Most of our cur-rent knowledge comes from static approaches that use ...

Can amphibians take the heat? Vulnerability to climate warming in subtropical and temperate larval amphibian communities
(Wiley, 2012-02)
Predicting the biodiversity impacts of global warming implies that we know where and with what magnitude these impacts will be encountered. Amphibians are currently the most threatened vertebrates, mainly due to habitat ...

Challenging ecogeographical rules: Phenotypic variation in the Mountain Treeshrew (Tupaia montana) along tropical elevational gradients
(Public Library of Science, 2022-06)
Bergmann’s and Allen’s rules were defined to describe macroecological patterns across latitudinal gradients. Bergmann observed a positive association between body size and latitude for endothermic species while Allen ...

Lack of congruence between fundamental and realised aridity niche in a lineage of water beetles
(Wiley, 2022)
Coping with aridity is a physiological challenge for all organisms, including freshwater ones. Aridity shapes distributions of aquatic species at fine and large geographical scales. Specifically, for aquatic beetles, the ...

Sertularia marginata (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) in the Mediterranean: an alien species in expansion?
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR), 2013)
Mature and dense populations of the tropical hydroid species Sertulariamarginata were detected in the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean) and in the Atlantic coast of the Strait of Gibraltar. Until now, it had only been ...

Circular and L50-like leaderless enterocins share a common ABC-transporter immunity gene
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Microbes live within complex communities of interacting populations, either free-living in waters and soils or symbionts of animals and plants. Their interactions include the production of antimicrobial peptides (bacteriocins) ...
