Effects of Population Declines on Habitat Segregation and Activity Patterns of Rabbits and Hares in Doñana National Park, Spain
(MDPI, 2022)
Competition, predation, and diseases are key factors shaping animal communities. In recent decades, lagomorphs in Europe have been impacted by virus-borne diseases that have caused substantial declines in their populations ...

Molecular phylogeny and divergence time estimates in pennatulaceans (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Pennatulacea)
(Instituto de Ciéncies del Mar de Barcelona, 2020)
Pennatulaceans are an important component of benthic marine communities usually related to soft bottoms. Despite their important ecological role, as yet little is known about their origin and divergence time. The first ...

A comparative analysis of extraction protocol performance on degraded mammalian museum specimens
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
The extraction of nucleic acids is one of the most routine procedures used in molecular biology laboratories, yet kit performance may influence the downstream processing of samples, particularly for samples which ...

Niche models at inter- and intraspecific levels reveal hierarchical niche differentiation in midwife toads
(Nature Research, 2020)
Variation and population structure play key roles in the speciation process, but adaptive intraspecific genetic variation is commonly ignored when forecasting species niches. Amphibians serve as excellent models for testing ...

Evolution of predator-prey interactions during range expansion in an aquatic insect predator
(Wiley, 2022)
1. Many ectotherms are shifting their distributions polewards, which has been associated with the evolution of phenotypic traits and their thermal plasticity. Trophic interactions may determine the dynamics and ecological ...

Wing morphology covaries with migration distance in a highly aerial insectivorous songbird
(Oxford University Press, 2022-06-01)
According to classical prediction of aerodynamic theory, birds and other powered fliers that migrate over long distances should have longer and more pointed wings than those that migrate less. However, the association ...

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 ...

Colonization Dynamics of Potential Stowaways Inhabiting Marinas: Lessons from Caprellid Crustaceans
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Despite the fact that stowaway transport is an increasingly common invasion pathway, its key ecological aspects, such as colonization dynamics of potential invaders on human transport vectors, are poorly understood. ...

Aguas de lastre, bioinvasiones marinas y proyecto europeo Atlantic Blue Ports
(Mancomunidad de Municipios del Campo de Gibraltar, 2022)
La invasión de especies exóticas es considerada en la actualidad como la segunda causa de pérdida de biodiversidad a nivel mundial, siendo los ecosistemas acuáticos especialmente vulnerables. En este medio, el transporte marítimo ...

Acoustic Species Distribution Models (aSDMs): A Framework to Forecast Shifts in Calling Behaviour Under Climate Change
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)
Species distribution models (SDMs) are a key tool for biogeography and climate change research, although current approaches have some significant drawbacks. The use of species occurrence constrains predictions of correlative ...
