Growth and stable isotope signals associated with drought‐related mortality in saplings of two coexisting pine species
(Springer, 2013-06-25)
Drought-induced events of massive tree mortality appear to be increasing worldwide. Species-specific vulnerability to drought mortality may alter patterns of species diversity and affect future forest composition. We have ...
Uneven abundances determine nestedness in climbing plant-host interaction networks
(Elsevier, 2017)
Nestedness is a common pattern in interaction networks. However, its ecological and evolutionary meaning is under debate. Evidence shows that nestedness in mutualistic networks may be just a consequence of the species–abundance ...
Detecting early- warning signals of concern in plant populations with a Citizen Science network. Are threatened and other priority species for conservation performing worse?
(Wiley, 2021-05)
Long-term monitoring of biodiversity is a fundamental part of environmental management, and Citizen Science (CS) approaches are increasing their contribution to such endeavour. CS plant monitoring programmes, however, ...
Tracking the long-term dynamics of plant diversity in Northeast Spain with a network of volunteers and rangers
(Springer, 2018-05-01)
Scientific projects can greatly benefit from the participation of non-professionals in identifying environmental changes at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. In 2010, we launched a long-term project in Northeast ...
Plant Responses to Extreme Climatic Events: A Field Test of Resilience Capacity at the Southern Range Edge.
(Public Library Science, 2014-01-28)
The expected and already observed increment in frequency of extreme climatic events may result in severe vegetation shifts. However, stabilizing mechanisms promoting community resilience can buffer the lasting impact of ...
Intraregional variability of exotic and native zooplankton in Basque coast estuaries (inner Bay of Biscay): effect of secondary dispersion, estuary features and regional environmental gradients
(Springer Nature, 2024)
The zooplankton of five estuaries of the Basque coast (southeast Bay of Biscay) was surveyed in summer 2019 to check the intraregional spread of exotic species and analyse the cross-estuary differences in brackish and ...
Relationship between vegetation diversity and soil functional diversity in native mixed-oak forests
(Elsevier, 2007-05-22)
Most studies on the interactions between aboveground vegetation and belowground soil diversity have been carried out in microcosms or manipulated field plots. In the current study, we investigated the relationship between ...
Varying climate sensitivity at the drought-linked distribution edge of P. sylvestris and P. nigra.
(Elsevier, 2013-08-23)
Rear edge populations, those residing at the low-latitude margins of species ranges, represent a critical genetic diversity for species conservation, management, and evolutionary potential. The present study analyses ...
Seaweed: Nutritional and gastronomic perspective. A review
(Elsevier, 2024)
Seaweed are organisms rich in many bioactive compounds such as proteins, minerals, vitamins, fibers, essential amino acids, pigments, and fatty acids, which give them extraordinary antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antioxidant, ...
The thermal journey of macroalgae: Four decades of temperature-induced changes in the southeastern Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Global warming is triggering significant shifts in temperate macroalgal communities worldwide, favoring small, warm-affinity species over large canopy-forming, cold-affinity species. The Cantabrian Sea, a region acutely ...
