; Chirosa, Manuel; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, 2017)
Eco–geographical characterization of aquatic microhabitats used by amphibians in the Mediterranean Basin. Small freshwater ecosystems, whether natural or artificial origin, are aquatic microhabitats for many species and ... -
Ectoparasite activity during incubation increases microbial growth on avian eggs
(Springer Nature, 2018)While direct detrimental effects of parasites on hosts are relatively well documented, other more subtle but potentially important effects of parasitism are yet unexplored. Biological activity of ectoparasites, apart from ... -
Embryonic development of bicuspid aortic valves.
Soto-Navarrete, María Teresa; López-Unzu, Miguel A.; Durán-Boyero, Ana Carmen; Fernández-Corujo, Borja (Elsevier, 2020-06-25)
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation, frequently associated with aortopathies and valvulopathies. The congenital origin of BAV is suspected to impact the development of the disease ... -
Environmental factors determining the establishment of the African Long-legged Buzzard Buteo rufinus cirtensis in Western Europe
Chamorro, Darío; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Muñoz-Gallego, Antonio Román (Wiley, 2017)
Winters have become warmer under the impact of climate change, which has modified the phenology as well as the distribution ranges of birds. The African Longlegged Buzzard Buteo rufinus cirtensis has recently colonized ... -
Environmental favourability as a cost-efficient tool to estimate carrying capacity.
Muñoz-Gallego, Antonio Román; Jiménez-Valverde, Alberto; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz; Moleón, Marcos; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (Wiley, 2015-08-11)
The way in which environmental conditions determine the distribution and abundance of species is a crucial topic in ecology, biogeography and conservation. It is especially important to understand the nature of this ... -
Estimating how inflated or obscured effects of climate affect forecasted species distribution
Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Romero-Pacheco, David; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Estrada, Alba; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz (Public Library of Science, 2013-01-11)
Climate is one of the main drivers of species distribution. However, as different environmental factors tend to co-vary, the effect of climate cannot be taken at face value, as it may be either inflated or obscured by ... -
Evaluating the expansion of African species into Europe driven by climate change.
López-Ramírez, Sandro; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz; Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Román Muñoz, Antonio (Wiley, 2024)
Aim: Ongoing climate change is presently influencing the distribution ranges of nu-merous species, with both range expansions and latitudinal shifts being observed.In southern Europe, a biogeographical border that separates ... -
Evidence from cyclostomes for complex regionalization of the ancestral vertebrate brain.
(Nature Research, 2016)The vertebrate brain is highly complex, but its evolutionary origin remains elusive. Because of the absence of certain developmental domains generally marked by the expression of regulatory genes, the embryonic brain of ... -
Evolution of Hox gene clusters in deuterostomes
(BMC, 2013-07-02)Hox genes, with their similar roles in animals as evolutionarily distant as humans and flies, have fascinated biologists since their discovery nearly 30 years ago. During the last two decades, reports on Hox genes from a ... -
Evolution of the nitric oxide synthase family in vertebrates and novel insights in gill development
(The Royal Society, 2022)Nitric oxide (NO) is an ancestral key signalling molecule essential for life and has enormous versatility in biological systems, including cardiovascular homeostasis, neurotransmission and immunity. Although our knowledge ... -
Experimental evidence of the genetic hypothesis on the etiology of bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy in the hamster model
Soto-Navarrete, María Teresa; Pozo-Vilumbrales, Bárbara; López-Unzu, Miguel A.; Rueda Martinez, Maria Del Carmen; Fernández-Domínguez, María Carmen; Durán-Boyero, Ana Carmen; Pavón-Morón, Francisco Javier; Rodríguez Capitán, Jorge; Fernández-Corujo, Borja[et al.] (Frontiers, 2022)
Bicuspid aortopathy occurs in approximately 50% of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most prevalent congenital cardiac malformation. Although different molecular players and etiological factors (genetic and ... -
Exploring the opportunities and risks of aerial monitoring for biodiversity conservation
(Bristol University Press, 2023)Drones are unoccupied aerial systems (UAS) whose technology has evolved rapidly over the past 15 years. Increasingly used in conservation to manage and monitor biodiversity, drones offer rich capabilities to observe in ... -
Factors involved in the biogeography of the honey locust tree (Gleditsia triacanthos) invasion at regional scale: an integrative approach.
Romero-Pacheco, David; Sosa, Beatriz; Brazeiro, Alejandro; Achkar, Marcel; Guerrero, José Carlos (Springer Nature, 2021)
Native to the southeastern United States, the honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) is an invasive tree in several South American countries. Since eradication of invasive species is often costly, prevention is a better ... -
Feral pigeon (Columba livia var. domestica) management in low-density urban areas: prevention is better than cure.
Farfán-Aguilar, Miguel Ángel; Díaz-Ruiz, Francisco; Duarte, Jesús; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (Springer Nature, 2019-07-12)
Currently, there are naturalized populations of feral pigeon (Columba livia var. domestica) worldwide with an estimated global population between 165 and 330 million individuals. Feral pigeons are adapted to urban ... -
Finessing atlas data for species distribution models
Niamir, Aidin; Skidmore, Andrew; Toxopeus, Bert; Muñoz, Antonio Román; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (Wiley Open Access, 2011)
Aim The spatial resolution of species atlases and therefore resulting model predictions are often too coarse for local applications. Collecting distribution data at a finer resolution for large numbers of species requires ... -
First Record of a comunal roost of Short-toed Eagles Circaetus gallicus during migration at the Strait of Gibraltar
(2010)Communal roosting and its adaptive function for birds have been widely studied. Both juveniles and adults of social bird species normally concentrate in communal roosts, and the protection of these sites may be of conservation ... -
