Galiana: història d’un falcó
2021
Resum: En 1365 va tenir lloc una disputa davant la cort del governador de Mallorca per la propietat d’un falcó entre els donzells Berenguer de Galiana i Bernat Togores, en la qual es veu involucrat l’ensinistrador d’aus de caça Bernat Llemosí. Els testimonis que foren presentats per aclarir els fets permeten obtenir una informació molt valuosa, i en part inèdita, del que fou la pràctica d’aquesta art venatòria en el context de les illes Balears, i per extensió en l’Occident europeu. En aquest treball proposem una edició completa del document i en fem un estudi exhaustiu.

La iglesia y el convento de San Lorenzo (Valencia), antigua sede de la provincia franciscana de San José de Valencia, Aragón y Baleares
2016
El presente estudio trata sobre el antiguo templo de San Lorenzo de la ciudad de Valencia, sus vicisitudes histórico-artísticas a lo largo de ocho siglos y, también, del convento anexo que en la última centuria acogió a los franciscanos y sirvió de sede de la provincia de Valencia, Aragón y Baleares. Pues en fechas recientes ha sido clausurado y, previsiblemente, la iglesia volverá a ejercer como parroquia. This study deals with the ancient temple of San Lorenzo in the city of Valencia, its art-historical over eight centuries and also the convent annex vicissitudes in the last century welcomed the Franciscans and served as headquarters Valencia, Aragon and the Balearic Islands. As recently …
Llengua i identitat en l’obra de Benvingut Oliver i Joan Baptista Perales
2015
Resum: Aquest treball es proposa analitzar la reacció dels erudits valencians Benvingut Oliver i Joan Baptista Perales davant els postulats de la filologia romànica sobre el català en la segona meitat del segle XIX. A més, tractem de relacionar la posició d’Oliver i Perales amb altres erudits i escriptors del moviment reinaixencista i amb la consciència de comunitat lingüística compartida amb catalans, balears i nord-catalans. A partir de la meitat del Vuitcents els romanistes germànics funden la filologia romànica i constaten que el català és el nom de la llengua pròpia dels territoris de llengua catalana, diferent de l’occità i sense res a veure amb el llemosí amb què era conegut des de p…
New combinations in Balearic plants
1997
Se proponen tres nuevas combinaciones nomenclaturales de plantas endémicas de las Islas Baleares: Ranunculus paludosus Poiret subsp. barceloi (Grau) Rosselló, L. Sáez & N. Torres, Omonis crispa L. subsp. zachackei (F. Herm.) Rosselló & L. Sáez y Ophrys bertolonii Morettii subsp. baleárica (Delforge) Rosselló & L. Sáez. Three new nomenclatural changes of vascular plants endemic of the Balearic archipelago are proposed: Ranunculus paludosus Poiret subsp. Barceloi (Grau) Rosselló, L. Sáez & N. Torres, Ononis crispa L. subsp. zschackei (F. Herm.) Rosselló & L. Sáez and Ophrys bertolonii Morettii subsp. baleárica (Delforge) Rosselló & L. Sáez.
Karst, acantilados y calas en el Migjorn de Menorca
2017
[spa]La costa sur de la isla de Menorca se caracteriza por la presencia, de forma más o menos continua, de acantilados verticales cortados en los depósitos carbonatados que constituyen una plataforma atribuida al Mioceno superior. Los acantilados se encuentran interrumpidos en la zona litoral por una marcada incisión producida por los barrancos que drenan toda la plataforma miocena del sur de la isla y que, en su desembocadura al mar, dan lugar a las denominadas calas. La forma de éstas viene controlada no tan sólo por la fracturación, que a su vez controla la red de drenaje, sino que también por la contribución de los procesos kársticos que están directamente relacionados con la …
Effects of total dietary polyphenols on plasma nitric oxide and blood pressure in a high cardiovascular risk cohort. The PREDIMED randomized trial
2014
© 2014 Elsevier B.V. Background and aim: Hypertension is one of the main cardiovascular risk factors in the elderly. The aims of this work were to evaluate if a one-year intervention with two Mediterranean diets (Med-diet) could decrease blood pressure (BP) due to a high polyphenol consumption, and if the decrease in BP was mediated by plasma nitric oxide (NO) production. Methods and results: An intervention substudy of 200 participants at high cardiovascular risk was carried out within the PREDIMED trial. They were randomly assigned to a low-fat control diet or to two Med-diets, one supplemented with extra virgin olive oil (Med-EVOO) and the other with nuts (Med-nuts). Anthropometrics and …

Landscape and firewood procurement at the prehistoric and protohistoric site of Ses Païsses (island of Mallorca, Western Mediterranean)
2017
Abstract In this article we present the anthracological study of the settlement of Ses Paisses, located in north-eastern Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Western Mediterranean). A total of 25 charcoal samples have been analysed, corresponding to both concentrated (hearth and oven content) and dispersed charcoal fragments. The samples come from four different buildings of the settlement, each one showing different phases of occupation. The site presents a long sequence of occupation (from c.1212-1005 cal BC to the 1st century cal AD), expanding from the last centuries of the Bronze Age (Naviform), through the Early (Talayotic) and Late (Post-Talayotic) Iron Age up to the beginning of Roman occupa…
Late Holocene Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Miller) woodlands in Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Western Mediterranean): Investigation of their distribut…
2021
The pioneering nature of Mediterranean pines and their phytosociological role have been largely discussed in relation to different agents (e.g., edaphic, climatic or anthropogenic). In this context, Aleppo pine is one of the most widespread pine species in the Mediterranean basin, as it is especially adapted to climatic constraints, such as drought and high seasonality, and has a high tolerance for salinity and strong coastal winds. It is also well adapted to regeneration after anthropogenic landscape disturbances, highlighting its important after-fire regeneration rates. In this sense, phytosociological studies conducted in Mediterranean landscapes have found that this species' wide distri…
The Arrival of Steppe and Iranian Related Ancestry in the Islands of the Western Mediterranean
2019
A series of studies have documented how Steppe pastoralist-related ancestry reached central Europe by at least 2500 BCE, while Iranian farmer-related ancestry was present in Aegean Europe by at least 1900 BCE. However, the spread of these ancestries into the western Mediterranean where they have contributed to many populations living today remains poorly understood. We generated genome-wide ancient DNA from the Balearic Islands, Sicily, and Sardinia, increasing the number of individuals with reported data from these islands from 3 to 52. We obtained data from the oldest skeleton excavated from the Balearic islands (dating to ∼2400 BCE), and show that this individual had substantial Steppe p…
