Hagfish and lamprey Hox genes reveal conservation of temporal colinearity in vertebrates
(Springer Nature, 2018)Hox genes exert fundamental roles for proper regional specification along the main rostro-caudal axis of animal embryos. They are generally expressed in restricted spatial domains according to their position in the cluster ... -
Hagfish genome elucidates vertebrate whole-genome duplication events and their evolutionary consequences
(Springer Nature, 2024-03)Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a major event that drastically reshapes genome architecture and is often assumed to be causally associated with organismal innovations and radiations. The 2R hypothesis ... -
Human activities link fruit bat presence to Ebola virus disease outbreaks
Olivero-Anarte, Jesús
; Fa, Julia E.; Farfán-Aguilar, Miguel Ángel; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz; Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Juste, F. Javier; Leendertz, Siv Aina; Nasi, Robert[et al.] (Wiley, 2020)
A significant link between forest loss and fragmentation and outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in humans has been documented. Deforestation may alter the natural circulation of viruses and change the composition, ... -
Implications for conservation and game management of the roadkill levels of the endemic Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis)
Duarte, Jesús; Romero-Pacheco, David; Rubio, Pablo J; Farfán-Aguilar, Miguel Ángel; Fa, Julia E. (Nature Publishing Group, 2021-10)
The Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) is an important small game species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula for which the incidence of roadkill is unknown. We surveyed Iberian hare–vehicle accidents on road networks in southern ... -
Implications of duplicated cis-regulatory elements in the evolution of metazoans: the DDI model or how simplicity begets novelty.
(Oxford Academic, 2009)The discovery that most regulatory genes were conserved among animals from distant phyla challenged the ideas that gene duplication and divergence of homologous coding sequences were the basis for major morphological changes ... -
Inner ear development in cyclostomes and evolution of the vertebrate semicircular canals
(Springer Nature, 2019)Jawed vertebrates have inner ears with three semicircular canals, the presence of which has been used as a key to understanding evolutionary relationships. Ostracoderms, the jawless stem gnathostomes, had only two canals ... -
Integrating fuzzy logic and statistics to improve the reliable delimitation of biogeographic regions and transition zones
This study uses the amphibian species of the Mediterranean basin to develop a consistent procedure based on fuzzy sets with which biogeographic regions and biotic transition zones can be objectively detected and reliably ... -
Interacting resident epicardium-derived fibroblasts and recruited bone marrow cells form myocardial infarction scar
Ruiz-Villalba, Adrián; Simon, Ana María; Pogontke, Cristina; Castillo, Maria I; Abizanda, Gloria; Pelacho, Beatriz; Sanchez-Dominguez, Rebeca; Segovia, Jose C; Prósper, Felipe; Pérez-Pomares, José María[et al.] (2015-05)
Background: Although efforts continue to find new therapies to regenerate infarcted heart tissue, knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved remains poor. Objectives: This study sought to identify the ... -
IRIS: Efficient Visualization, Data Analysis and Experiment Management for Wireless Sensor Networks
(EUDL Digital Library, 2014)The design of ubiquitous computing environments is challenging, mainly due to the unforeseeable impact of real-world environments on the system performance. A crucial step to validate the behavior of these systems is to ... -
Kassandra: A Framework for Distributed Simulation of Heterogeneous Cooperating Objects.
(Elsevier, 2016)To address the heterogeneity and scalability issues of simulating Cooperating Objects (COs) systems, we propose Kassandra, a conceptual framework for enabling distributed COs simulation by integrating existing simulation ... -
Lack of maintenance of motorway fences works against their intended purpose with potential negative impacts on protected species.
Farfán-Aguilar, Miguel Ángel; Fa, Julia E.; Martín-Taboada, Adrián; García-Carrasco, José María; Duarte, Jesús (Springer Nature, 2020-01-21)
Linear infrastructure intrusions into natural ecosystems, such as motorways and high-speed railways, causes direct loss of habitat but also impacts fauna through collisions. Wildlife road mortality is well documented and ... -
Late Pleistocene boreal molluscs in the Gulf of Cadiz: Past and current oceanographic implications
Urra, Javier; Utrilla, Olga; Gofas, Serge; Valencia, Víctor A.; Farias, Carlos; González-García, Emilio; López-González, Nieves; Fernández-Salas, Luis Miguel; Rueda, José Luis[et al.] (Elsevier, 2023-07)
Remains of molluscs were collected from the seafloor on the north-eastern margin of the Gulf of Cadiz, between 300 and 1000 m water depth, using different sampling methods (e.g. dredging, trawling and box-coring), during ... -
Mapping the Risk for West Nile Virus Transmission, Africa.
García-Carrasco, José María; Muñoz-Gallego, Antonio Román; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Segura, Marina; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (2022-04)
West Nile virus (WNV) is an emergent arthropodborne virus that is transmitted from bird to bird by mosquitoes. Spillover events occur when infected mosquitoes bite mammals. We created a geopositioned database of WNV presence ... -
Measuring disturbance at swift breeding colonies due to the visual aspects of a drone: a quasi-experiment study
(Oxford Academy, 2020)There is a growing body of research indicating that drones can disturb animals. However, it is usually unclear whether the disturbance is due to visual or auditory cues. Here, we examined the effect of drone flights on the ... -
Metapopulation Patterns of Iberian Butterflies Revealed by Fuzzy Logic
Pulido-Pastor, Antonio; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz; Guerrero, José Carlos; García-Barros, Enrique; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (MDPI, 2021-04)
Metapopulation theory considers that the populations of many species are fragmented into patches connected by the migration of individuals through an interterritorial matrix. We applied fuzzy set theory and environmental ... -
Modelling chorotypes of invasive vertebrates in mainland Spain.
Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Márquez-Moya, Ana Luz; Estrada, Alba; Muñoz-Gallego, Antonio Román; Vargas-Yañez, Juan Mario (Wiley, 2007-09-24)
We investigated the existence of chorotypes – assemblages of species with similar geographical ranges – of invasive species in a host territory, and their potential use to advocate similar control or management strategies ... -
