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 ...

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. ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

Biovectoring of plastic by white storks from a landfill to a complex of salt ponds and marshes
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Research into plastic pollution has extensively focused on abiotic vectors, overlooking transport by animals. Opportunistic birds, such as white storks (Ciconia ciconia) often forage on landfills, where plastic abounds. ...

Amphipods in Mediterranean Marine and Anchialine Caves: New Data and Overview of Existing Knowledge
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-11-29)
Marine and anchialine caves host specialized faunal communities with a variable degree of endemism and functional specialization. However, biodiversity assessments on this habitat are scarce, particularly in relation to ...

How tiny species can be overlooked: the finding of Eudendrium capillaroides (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) in the Strait of Gibraltar
(Springer Publishing Company, 2023-04-10)
Eudendrium capillaroides Schuchert, 2008 has not been reported since its original description. The new and abundant material found in Ceuta, southern coast of the Strait of Gibraltar, allows us to refine the morphological ...
