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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

Turning an invasive alien species into a valuable biomass: Anaerobic digestion of Rugulopteryx okamurae after thermal and new developed low-cost mechanical pretreatments
(Elsevier, 2023)
The invasive alien seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae (R.o.) has spread quickly through the Mediterranean Sea causing an unprecedented ecological impact. A solution integrated into a circular economy model is needed in order ...

Functional diversity of macroinvertebrates as a tool to evaluate wetland restoration
(Wiley, 2021)
Ecological restoration of aquatic ecosystems has become widespread in recent decades. Although the recovery of biodiversity in restored wetlands has been studied from a taxonomic perspective, our knowledge of how functional ...

Role of climatic variability in shaping intraspecific variation of thermal tolerance in Mediterranean water beetles
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)
The climatic variability hypothesis (CVH) predicts that organisms in more thermally variable environments have wider thermal breadths and higher thermal plasticity than those from more stable environments. However, due to ...

A dark side of conservation biology: Protected areas fail in representing subterranean biodiversity
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023-09)
Biodiversity conservation is a central imperative of the 21st century. Subterranean ecosystems deliver critical nature's contributions to people and harbour a broad diversity of poorly understood specialised organisms. ...
