Mediterranean gorgonians are being threatened by the impact of recurrent extreme climatic events, such as marine heatwaves (MHWs). The white gorgonian Eunicella singularis was suggested to be the most resistant gorgonian ...
Bariatric surgery (BS) is currently the most effective long-term treatment of severe obesity. However, the interindividual variability observed in surgical outcomes suggests a moderating effect of several factors, including ...
Accurate prediction of fluctuations of wildlife local number of individuals is crucial for effective population management to minimise human-wildlife conflicts. Climate, habitat, food availability, and density dependence ...
Determining biological status of freshwater ecosystems is critical for ensuring ecosystem health and maintaining associated services to such ecosystems. Freshwater macroinvertebrates respond predictably to environmental ...
The Mediterranean region is a climate change hotspot due to projected precipitation decreases, soil erosion, and rising temperatures in the coming decades. In such a context, wheat productivity is expected to decrease; ...
This study assessed the impact of electrical conductivity (EC) on the microeukaryotic community and pollutant removal efficiency in full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Catalonia, Spain. Monthly samples from ...
The present study provides data on clutches with dwarf eggs from a large sampling in a colony of Yellow-legged Gulls(Larus michahellis) over 31 years. Their occurrence was very low, with a global percentage of 0.26%. ...
Assessing habitat selection is essential to protecting threatened species but also to understand what factors influence species that, although globally not currently in decline, act as flagships of their ecosystems and ...
Background and Hypothesis: Consistent with diathesis-stress models, psychosis research has focused on geneticmoderation of adverse environmental exposures. In con-trast, the Differential Susceptibility (DS) model suggeststhat ...
Chloroplasts and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are vital organelles for plant cellular function, yet their communication remains relatively underexplored. Beyond photosynthesis and protein folding, both organelles serve ...
Climate variability impacts the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems and can trigger behavioural responses in organisms. We investigated whether such variability modulates diet and migration in the North Atlantic ...
<p>Climate change is leading to species redistributions. In the tundra biome,</p><p>shrubs are generally expanding, but not all tundra shrub species will benefit</p><p>from warming. Winner and loser species, and the ...
High mountain mires are affected by anthropogenic activities such as livestock, which have changed land use, fragmented habitats, and affected the structure and functioning of aquatic communities such as diatoms. Diatoms ...
Ya no se habla tanto, con entonación retórica, de los recursos ilimitados del mar, pero se sigue especulando con mayor motivación práctica sobre las posibilidades de incrementar la extracción de proteínas alimenticias de ...
Des que al segle XIX Schwendener (1869), amb l’ajuda del microscopi, va descobrir que els líquens no eren plantes sinó fongs amb algues dins, s’han fet molts estudis sobre els organismes presents al tal·lus (el cos vegetatiu) ...
Salar de Pedernales basin is located at 3370 meters above sea level in the Atacama Desert, Chile, covering an area of 3620km2. This ecosystem is characterized by high exposure to ultraviolet radiation, low humidity, huge ...
Background: The life cycle of most baleen whales involves annual migrations from low-latitude breeding grounds to high latitude feeding grounds. In most species, these migrations are traditionally considered to be carried ...
The presence of abnormalities in emotional decision-making and reward processing among bipolar patients (BP) has been well rehearsed. These disturbances are not limited to acute phases and are common even during remission. ...
Goniodorididae is a family of small dorid nudibranchs distributed worldwide that feed on entoprocts, ascidians, and bryozoans. The evolutionary relationships between its taxa have been uncertain due to the limited taxa ...
Corals and gorgonians play an important role as ecosystem engineers in many sublittoral communities worldwide. However, coral populations are being increasingly impacted by human activities. Active ecological restoration ...
