Distribution of the Invasive Caprellid Caprellascaura (Crustacea: Amphipoda) in Cádiz Marina, Southern Spain: Implications for its Dispersal
(Universidade de Vigo * Servizo de Publicacions, 2016)
The invasive caprellid Caprella scaura Templeton, 1836 is rapidly spreading along marinas of Southern Spain, becoming one of the dominant species of the macrofoulers associated to bryozoans and hydroids of communities in ...

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 ...

Biogeographic Patterns in Sea Pens (Octocorallia: Pennatulacea)
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Pennatulaceans (Octocorallia: Pennatulacea) are among the most dominant octocoral species living in soft bottom communities. Some of them are cosmopolitan and have been recorded in all seas and oceans of the world, from ...

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, ...

Rainfall at African wintering grounds predicts age-specific probability of haemosporidian infection in a migratory passerine bird
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-10-01)
In migratory species breeding in temperate zones and wintering in tropical areas, the prevalence of blood parasites may be affected by migratory strategies and winter habitat choice. We explored whether African winter ...

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 ...

Amphipods from marine cave sediments of the southern Iberian Peninsula: diversity and ecological distribution
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC), 2014)
The present study explores the amphipod assemblages of six marine caves on the Mediterranean coast of southern Spain. Replicate samples were taken both inside and outside each marine cave in order to characterize the ...
