Marine heatwaves drive recurrent mass mortalities in the Mediterranean Sea
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)
Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) and mass mortality events (MMEs) of marine organisms are one of their main ecological impacts. Here, we show that during the ...

Interaction of Climate Change with Effects of Conspecific and Heterospecific Density on Reproduction
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2020)
We studied the relationship between temperature and the coexistence of great titParus majorand blue titCyanistes caeruleus, breeding in 75 study plots across Europe and North Africa. We expected an advance in laying date ...

Molluscs community as a keystone group for assessing the impact of urban sprawl at intertidal ecosystems
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Mollusc communities are getting endangered in the aftermath of urban sprawl because artificial structures do not surrogate natural substrates. In this study, we compared the diversity, community and trophic arrangements ...

A new family for the enigmatic sea pen genus Gyrophyllum Studer, 1891 (Octocorallia, Pennatulacea), a molecular and morphological approach
(Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, 2022)
The description in 1891 of the sea pen genus Gyrophyllum Studer, 1891 and also the type species G. hirondellei Studer, 1891 was based on a single colony collected in the Azores Archipelago. During the 19th and 20th centuries, ...

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 ...

Scientific collaboration for early detection of invaders results in a significant update on estimated range: lessons from Stenothoe georgiana Bynum & Fox 1977
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, 2020)
Detection of new non-indigenous species is often delayed when taxa are taxonomically challenging, such as small-sized ma-rine organisms. The present study highlights the relevance of scientific cooperation in the early ...

Variation in upper thermal tolerance among 19 species from temperate wetlands
(Elsevier, 2021)
Communities usually possess a multitude of interconnected trophic interactions within food webs. Their regulation generally depends on a balance between bottom-up and top-down effects. However, if sensitivity to temperature ...

Influence of environmental factors and sessile biota on vagile epibionts: the case of amphipods in marinas across a regional scale
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, 2022)
Marinas are highly anthropized environments, with singular ecological characteristics. In the present study the spatial vari-ability of the amphipod assemblage associated to floating pontoons was analyzed. Moreover, the ...

Effects of ocean acidification on the biochemistry, physiology and parental transfer of Ampelisca brevicornis (Costa, 1853)
(Elsevier, 2022)
Ocean acidification (OA) has received more attention in the marine research community in recent years than any other topic. Excess carbon dioxide makes the ocean more acidic, threatening marine ecosystems. There has been ...

The migration system of barn swallows hirundo rustica breeding in Southwestern Spain and wintering across West Africa
(Sociedad Española de Ornitología, 2021-02-03)
Many populations of migratory bird species are rapidly declining. As a requisite for targeting effective conservation efforts it is essential to determine the whereabouts of migrants yearround. however, our knowledge of ...
