Environment and Space Rule, but Time also Matters for the Organization of Tropical Pond Metacommunities
2020
Metacommunities are dynamic systems, but the influence of time independently of environmental change in their configuration has been rarely considered. Temporary ponds are excellent ecosystem models, as they have well-defined boundaries in time and space; their communities are relatively isolated through a landscape matrix, and the progress of time leads to major changes through ecological succession and in habitat suitability related to hydroperiod dynamics. Therefore, strong temporal effects are expected to influence their metacommunity structure. We surveyed 30 temporary ponds along the dry tropical region of western Costa Rica and Nicaragua at three different moments of their hydroperio…
Insight into the noble crayfish morphological diversity: a geometric morphometric approach.
2022
The noble crayfish (Astacus astacus), a keystone species of high ecological, economic, and cultural importance in Europe, is threatened due to a long-term population decline caused by anthropogenic pressure on its habitats, the presence of non-indigenous invasive crayfish species and climate change. Since the effective protection of the remaining populations requires conservation measures based on the comprehensive knowledge of the species, including good understanding of its genetic and morphological variability, our aim was to study morphological features of the noble crayfish in Croatia using geometric morphometrics for the first time. We applied two-dimensional geometric morphometrics t…
Relaciones entre las aportaciones a la zona regable del río Jucar y la conductividad de la Albufera de Valencia.
2005
Las aportaciones a la zona regable del río Júcar condicionan la conductividad de la Albufera porque recibe las aguas sobrantes de riego. Se ha observado una relación inversa entre ambas variables. La demanda de agua para otras zonas pretende satisfacerse a partir del trasvase de los sobrantes de riego basándose en una mejora de la eficiencia del regadío. Estas actuaciones deben realizarse sólo cuando se aseguren previamente las aportaciones necesarias para mantener la calidad del lago. The water inflows to the irrigation area of the Júcar river determine the conductivity of the Albufera because it receives the surplus irrigation water. It has been observed an inverse relationship between bo…
