Pinus nigra subsp. salzmannii; Pinus pinaster; Pinus sylvestris; charcoal; coniferous forests; fire frequency; growth rings; land use change; paleoecology; pollen; shrubs; trees; wildfires; Spain
Abstract:
... Post-fire forest resilience must be quantified in a long-term perspective considering changes in land-use related to fire dynamics. Historical land-use changes leading to increased wildfire severity may produce no analogue regime shifts including a loss in post-fire growth recovery. Here we reconstruct the historical fire dynamics by combining paleoecological proxies, historical fire records and t ...

Abstract:
... Wildfire fatalities remain a significant problem in Mediterranean Europe. Although there is a strong inter-annual variability with regard to their number, repeated tragic accidents remind us of this grim occurrence, despite the increasing firefighting capacity aimed to improve human safety. In this paper, we present an analysis of the 865 fatalities caused by wildfires in the 1945–2016 period. Dat ...

Abstract:
... Over recent years, next-generation plastid DNA genomics has emerged as a powerful and increasingly efficient tool for plant phylogenetics. To date, only a few studies are available concerning the whole-plastid genomics of Vitis vinifera. The main goal of the research presented here was the annotation of sequenced and already assembled plastid genomes of wild grape (V. vinifera subsp. sylvestris) s ...

Abstract:
... While globalization has spread economic, political and social relations among countries, international competition has increased. This competition has also increased the use of pesticides in order to enhance productivity and quality, and now it poses a threat to the environment and human health. While the yield and quality of cut flowers are the most important features for the producer, visual qua ...

Abstract:
... We calculated growth rate for the spiny-footed lizard (Acanthodactylus erythrurus) inhabiting coastal eastern Spain from long-term mark-recapture data. Growth curves differ between sexes, with males growing faster than females and achieving larger size maximums. In this population each sex reaches maturity at about 300 days of age, approximately 34% faster than males, and 28% faster than females s ...

Abstract:
... Previous research indicated that the season during which oocytes are harvested affects quality of in vitro-produced embryos (Gupta et al. 2016 Anim. Reprod. Sci. 164, 162). In our own studies, sperm kinematics, membrane integrity, acrosome status, mitochondrial potential and reactive oxygen species were affected by season of semen collection (Sabés-Alsina et al. 2017 Vet. Rec. 180, 251). The aim o ...

Abstract:
... Invasive species are one of the main causes of amphibian declines worldwide, often through direct predation. Even species or life stages that may not be prone to predation by invasive animals can be affected through alterations of their reproductive behaviour and/or performance. This aspect is less commonly investigated, and may be important for understanding the full impact of invasive species on ...

The high temperatures that occur during summer in the southeast of Spain produce a reduction of and difficulties in the setting of the fruits of pepper (Capsicum annuum); as a consequence, there is a decrease in the crop yield and quality. The use of shading nets can induce a drop of temperature, and consequently a decrease in the incidence of malformations in fruits produced by excess radiation i ...

This problem particularly affects Galicia (north-west of Spain). Conventional modelling of the number of forest fires in small areas may have a high error. For this reason, four area-level Poisson mixed models with time effects ...
