A practical approach with drones, smartphones, and tracking tags for potential real-time animal tracking
(2023)Drones are increasingly used for fauna monitoring and wildlife tracking; however, their application for wildlife tracking is restricted by developing such systems. Here we explore the potential of drones for wildlife ... -
Adapting astronomical source detection software to help detect animals in thermal images obtained by unmanned aerial systems

; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Segura, Marina; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (2022-12-19)
West Nile virus (WNV). Due to the difficulty of its diagnosis, little is known about its distribution in Africa. Understanding the geographic extent of risk of WNV infections is a necessity for both travellers and clinicians ... -
Anticipating the locations in Europe of high-risk areas for West Nile virus outbreaks in 2021
West Nile virus infections in humans are continuously increasing, and the virus has spread considerably in Europe over the past decade. The incidence of the disease was unusually high between 2018 and 2020. The resulting ... -

Bicuspid Aortic Valve in 2 Model Species and Review of the Literature
Fernández-Corujo, Borja; Soto-Navarrete, María Teresa; López-García, Alejandro; López-Unzu, Miguel A.; Durán-Boyero, Ana Carmen; Fernández-Domínguez, María Carmen[et al.] (Sage Publications INC, 2020-02-21)
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common human congenital cardiac malformation. Although the etiology is unknown for most patients, formation of the 2 main BAV anatomic types (A and B) has been shown to rely on ... -
Cardiomyocyte-Specific Wt1 Is Involved in Cardiac Metabolism and Response to Damage.
Díaz del Moral, Sandra; Benaouicha, Maha; Villa del Campo, Cristina; Torres, Miguel; Wagner, Nicole; Wagner, Kay-Dietrich; Muñoz-Chápuli-Oriol, Ramón; Carmona-Mejías, Rita María[et al.] (MDPI, 2023-05-12)
The Wilms tumor suppressor gene (Wt1) encodes a C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription factor that participates in transcriptional regulation, RNA metabolism, and protein–protein interactions. WT1 is involved in the development ... -
Characterization of epicardial-derived cardiac interstitial cells: differentiation and mobilization of heart fibroblast progenitors
The non-muscular cells that populate the space found between cardiomyocyte fibers are known as 'cardiac interstitial cells' (CICs). CICs are heterogeneous in nature and include different cardiac progenitor/stem cells, ... -
Climate change is aggravating dengue and yellow fever transmission risk
Aliaga-Samanez, Alisa; Romero-Pacheco, David; Murray, Kris A.; Cobos-Mayo, Marina; Segura, Marina; Real-Giménez, Raimundo; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús[et al.] (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024)
Dengue and yellow fever have complex cycles, involving urban and sylvatic mosquitoes, and non-human primate hosts. To date, efforts to assess the effect of climate change on these diseases have neglected the combination ... -
Combined Effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation on Sea Surface Temperature in the Alborán Sea
Báez Barrionuevo, José Carlos; Gimeno, L.; Gómez-Gesteira, M.; Ferri-Yáñez, F.; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (San Francisco, CA : Public Library of Science, 2013-04-18)
We explored the possible effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO) on interannual sea surface temperature (SST) variations in the Albora´n Sea, both separately and combined. The probability ... -
Comparative analysis of Hmx expression and the distribution of neuronal somata in the trigeminal ganglion in lamprey and shark: insights into the homology of the trigeminal nerve branches and the evolutionary origin of the vertebrate jaw
(BMC, 2023-12-05)The evolutionary origin of the jaw remains one of the most enigmatic events in vertebrate evolution. The trigeminal nerve is a key component for understanding jaw evolution, as it plays a crucial role as a sensorimotor ... -
Comparative assessment of different methods for using land-cover variables for distribution modelling of Salamandra salamandra longirotris
Romero-Pacheco, David; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (Cambridge University Press, 2012-08-16)
Predictive models are frequently used to define the most suitable areas for species protection or reintroduction. Land-cover variables can be used in different ways for distribution modelling. The surface area of a set of ... -
Comparison of approaches to combine species distribution models based on different sets of predictors.
Romero-Pacheco, David; Olivero-Anarte, Jesús; Brito, José Carlos; Real-Giménez, Raimundo (Oikos, 2015)
Distribution models should take into account the different limiting factors that simultaneously influence species ranges. Species distribution models (SDM) built with different explanatory variables can be combined into ... -
