An African West Nile virus risk map for travellers and clinicians.
(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
(WILEY, 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 ... -
Applying fuzzy logic to assess the biogeographical risk of dengue in South America
(BMC Springer Nature, 2019)Over the last decade, reports about dengue cases have increase worldwide, which is particularly worrisome in South America due to the historic record of dengue outbreaks from the seventeenth century until the first half ... -
Cardiomyocyte-Specific Wt1 Is Involved in Cardiac Metabolism and Response to Damage.
(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 ... -
Deep sea starfishes (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) from the Avilés Canyon System (Bay of Biscay), including two new records
(Elsevier, 2022-09-09)The Avilés Canyon System (ACS) is located at the Southern Bay of Biscay (Northern Spain, Cantabrian Sea). The ACS occupies a total of 339.026 ha and is composed of three canyons, reaching the abyssal plain at 4700 m depth. ... -
Deep-sea echinoids from the Avilés Canyons System (Cantabrian Sea: North Atlantic Ocean)
(Elsevier, 2022-09)The Avilés Canyons System (ACS) is located in the South of the Bay of Biscay (Northern Spain, Cantabrian Sea) and covers a total of 3,390 km2. It is composed of three canyons, reaching the abyssal plain at 4700 m depth. ... -
Development of the ventricular myocardial trabeculae in Scyliorhinus canicula (Chondrichthyes): evolutionary implications
(Springer, 2020)The development of the ventricular myocardial trabeculae occurs in three steps: emergence, trabeculation and remodeling. The whole process has been described in vertebrates with two different myocardial structural types, ... -
Differential expression of myosin heavy chain isoforms in cardiac segments of gnathostome vertebrates and its evolutionary implications
(BioMed Central (Springer Nature), 2019)Immunohistochemical studies of hearts from the lesser spotted dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicular (Chondrichthyes) revealed that the pan-myosin heavy chain (pan-MyHC) antibody MF20 homogeneously labels all the myocardium, while ... -
Environmental favourability as a cost-efficient tool to estimate carrying capacity.
(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 ... -
Evaluating the expansion of African species into Europe driven by climate change.
(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 ... -
Experimental evidence of the genetic hypothesis on the etiology of bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy in the hamster model
(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 ... -
Finessing atlas data for species distribution models
(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 ... -
Form and function of the mantle edge in Protobranchia (Mollusca: Bivalvia)
(Elsevier, 2022-08)We analyzed, by optical and transmission electron microscopy, the morphology and function of the mantle edge, including the formation of the periostracum, of ten species of protobranchs. Five species from the order Nuculida, ... -
Fuzzy chorotypes as a conceptual tool to improve insight into biogeographic patterns.
(Oxford Academic, 2011-10-05)Chorotypes—statistically significant groups of coincident distribution areas—constitute biogeographic units that are fuzzy by nature. This quality has been referred to in the literature but has not been analyzed in depth ... -
Fuzzy sets allow gaging the extent and rate of species range shift due to climate change.
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-01)The recent modification of species distribution ranges in response to a warmer climate has constituted a major and generalized biogeographic change. The main driver of the shift in distribution is the disequilibrium of the ... -
Gone (and spread) with the birds: Can chorotype analysis highlight the spread of West Nile virus within the Afro-Palaearctic flyway?
(Elsevier, 2023)West Nile virus (WNV) is a globally significant vector-borne disease that is primarily transmitted between birds and mosquitoes. Recently, there has been an increase in WNV in southern Europe, with new cases reported in ... -
Human activities link fruit bat presence to Ebola virus disease outbreaks
(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, ... -
Lack of maintenance of motorway fences works against their intended purpose with potential negative impacts on protected species.
(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 ... -
