Managing abandoned Mediterranean mountain landscapes: The effects of donkey grazing on biomass control and floral diversity in pastures
Traditional Mediterranean Mountain landscapes in Spain have suffered dramatic environmental and social changes over the last seven decades. The loss of these landscapes has had consequences for biodiversity, soil erosion, ...

Aquesta memòria recull els resultats del grup de treball del Departament d’Ecologia de la Universitat de Barcelona relatiu al seguiment del medi marí al Parc Natural de Cap de Creus i al Parc Natural del Montgrí, les Illes ...
Season of birth and subclinical psychosis: systematic review and meta-analysis of new and existing data
Season of birth (SOB) has been shown to modify the risk of several health outcomes, including a number of neuropsychiatric disorders. Empirical evidence indicates that subclinical forms of psychosis in the general population ...
Hydrological evidence for a North Atlantic oscillation during the Little Ice Age outside its range observed since 1850.
An annual-resolved precipitation reconstruction for the last 800 yr in Southern Spain has been performed using stable carbon isotope (δ13C) of Pinus nigra tree rings. The reconstruction exhibits high- to low-frequency ...
Ecología química en el bentos antártico
El estudio de las interacciones entre los organismos mediadas por sustancias químicas, lo que se denomina ecología química, nos da información sobre la biología de las especies implicadas, el funcionamiento de la comunidad ...
Seasonal variation in AMF colonisation, soil and plant nutrient content in gypsum specialist and generalist species growing in P‑poor soils
Aims: Gypsum soils are P-limited atypical soils that harbour a rich endemic flora. These singular soils are usually found in drylands, where plant activity and soil nutrient availability are seasonal. No previous studies ...
Effect of environmental enrichment on the body shape of the pumpkinseed
How the morphology of captive-reared fish is affected by structural enrichment in their rearing tanks is not well understood. Some studies have suggested that deficiencies in rearing environments could produce inappropriate ...
Codorniz Común – Coturnix coturnix (Linnaeus, 1758)
La Codorniz común es un ave galliforme perteneciente a la familia Phasianidae y subfamilia Phasianinae. La Codorniz común fue descrita como Tetrao coturnix por el naturalista sueco Carl Nilsson Linnaeus en 1758, en la ...
S.O.S. Pinna nobilis: a mass mortality event in western Mediterranean Sea.
A mass mortality event (MME) impacting the bivalve Pinna nobilis was detected across a wide geographical area of the Spanish Mediterranean Sea (Western Mediterranean Sea) in early autumn 2016. Underwater visual censuses ...
Impact of olive saplings and organic amendments on soil microbial communities and effects of mineral fertilization
Plant communities and fertilization may have an impact on soil microbiome. Most commercial olive trees are minerally fertilized, while this practice is being replaced by the use of organic amendments. Organic amendments ...
Hydraulic and biological controls of biofilm nitrogen uptake in gravel-bed streams
Epibenthic biofilms are important in regulating nitrogen (N) fluxes in stream ecosystems. The efficiency of the regulation is controlled by hydraulic and biological processes and their interactions. However, knowledge on ...
Phenotypic plasticity in the Caribbean sponge Callyspongia vaginalis (Porifera: Haplosclerida)
Sponge morphological plasticity has been a long-standing source of taxonomic difficulty. In the Caribbean, several morphotypes of the sponge Callyspongia vaginalis have been observed. To determine the taxonomic status of ...
Melatonin triggers tissue-specific changes in anthocyanin and hormonal contents during postharvest decay of Angeleno plums
Plum is a stone fruit that stands out for having a short shelf-life because of its high susceptibility to rapid deterioration. Part of this deterioration is explained by fruit overripening. Recently, the role of melatonin ...
Integrative approach for precise genotyping and transcriptomics of a salt tolerant introgression line in rice
Rice is the most salt sensitive cereal crop and its cultivation is particularly threatened by salt stress. This study reports the development of salt tolerant introgressed lines (ILs) derived from crosses between the salt ...

Rewinding the invasion history of monk parakeets in Barcelona city: 1976-2022. Predicting the future abundance and distribution of introduced alien species is crucial to mitigate their impact on ecosystems, but this has ...
Phothosharing websites may improve Hemiptera biodiversity knowledge and conservation
Internet photosharing websites is a very recent and powerful tool for the study of biodiversity, and a meeting point of general public fond of nature and professional naturalists. The article discusses when an uploaded ...
Biased adult sex ratios in western Europe populations of little bustard Tetrax tetrax as a potential warning signal of unbalanced mortalities
<p>Adult sex ratios (ASRs) have proved to correlate with population trends, which make them</p><p>potential useful indicators of a species’ population trajectory and conservation status. We</p><p>analysed ASRs and proportion ...
Translating high throughput phenotyping into genetic gain
Inability to efficiently implement high-throughput field phenotyping is increas-ingly perceived as a key component that limits genetic gain in breeding pro-grams. Field phenotyping must be integrated into a wider context ...
