Sobre los tipos nomenclaturales de dos táxones de Rhamnus (Rhamnaceae) de la flora valenciana
2015
Se designan los tipos nomenclaturales de dos taxones del género Rhamnus descritos de las comarcas valencianas. Por un lado, se lectotipifica el nombre Rh. lycioides var. pubescens Rouy −sinónimo de Rh. lycioides subsp. borgiae Rivas Mart. & J.M. Pizarro−, a partir del material original recolectado en las montañas de Játiva (Valencia). Por otro, se considera que el neótipo recientemente designado para el nombre Rh. valentina Willd. −sinónimo de Rh. pumila L.−, debería aceptarse realmente como un lectótipo. Nomenclatural types are designated for two taxa of the genus Rhamnus described from the Valencia Region (E of Spain). On the one hand, the name Rh. lycioides var. pubescens Rouy −a synonym…

Se discuten sus afinidades con especies cercanas, destacándose los caracteres que permiten una fácil identificación. Finalmente, se ofrecen datos sobre su ecología y hábitat más representativo. A new species, Galium javalambrense López Udias, G. Mateo & M.B. Crespo (sect. Leptogalium) is described from the summits of Sistema Ibérico (E of Spain). Its affinities to other related taxa are discussed, namely those characteristics allowing easy identification. Finally, data on ecology and main habitat of the new species are also reported.

2015
Se aportan datos corológicos sobre varios taxones de plantas vasculares raras o poco frecuentes en la provincia de León (España), muchas de las cuales son especies interesantes en relación a la conservación y están incluidas en catálogos regionales o nacionales de flora amenazada. Cada nueva referencia contiene coordenadas UTM, localización, hábitat recolectores y número de colección. We made chorological additions about several rare or infrequent vascular plants taxa in Leon province (Spain), some of them are very interesting in conservation and included in regional or national list of threatened species. Each new reference contains: UTM coordinates, location, habitat conditions, collectio…

We made chorological additions about some vascular plants with low presence in the province of León (Spain); some of them have special interest in conservation.
Heterophyid trematodes (Digenea) from penguins: A new species of Ascocotyle Looss, 1899, first description of metacercaria of Ascocotyle (A.) patagon…
2019
Two species of heterophyid trematodes were found in the Magellanic penguin, Spheniscus magellanicus (Forster), from Patagonia, Argentina. Ascocotyle (Ascocotyle) patagoniensis Hernández-Orts et al. (2012) is re-described based on new, properly fixed specimens (original material from South American sea lion, Otaria flavescens Shaw, was from frozen hosts). Metacercariae of this species are reported and described for the first time from the heart of the silversides, Odontesthes argentinensis (Valenciennes) and O. smitti (Lahille), from Patagonia. Ascocotyle (Phagicola) cameliae n. sp. is described from the intestine of S. magellanicus. The new species is placed into the subgenus Phagicola Faus…
A new taxonomic arrangement in "Linaria" sect. "supinae" ("Antirrhineae")
2008
Como resultado de un estudio macromorfológico y de los caracteres seminales de Linaria benitoi Fern. Casas, endemismo de los alrededores del Cabo de Gata (SE Península Ibérica) y de los táxones del grupo de L. oblongifolia, se discuten la variabilidad y las relaciones morfológicas de este conjunto de plantas. Así, se propone la siguiente nueva combinación: Linaria oblongifolia subsp. benitoi (Fern. Casas) L. Sáez, M.B. Crespo, Juan & M. Bernal, comb. & stat. nov. As a result of a study of macromorphological and seed features of Linaria benitoi Fern. Casas, endemic to Cabo de Gata (SE Iberian Peninsula) and taxa included in the L. oblongifolia group, the variability and morphological relatio…
Human fascioliasis endemic areas in Argentina: multigene characterisation of the lymnaeid vectors and climatic-environmental assessment of the transm…
2016
Background: In South America, fascioliasis stands out due to the human endemic areas in many countries. In Argentina, human endemic areas have recently been detected. Lymnaeid vectors were studied in two human endemic localities of Catamarca province: Locality A beside Taton and Rio Grande villages; Locality B close to Recreo town. Methods: Lymnaeids were characterised by the complete sequences of rDNA ITS-2 and ITS-1 and fragments of the mtDNA 16S and cox1. Shell morphometry was studied with the aid of a computer image analysis system. Climate analyses were made by nearest neighbour interpolation from FAO data. Koeppen & Budyko climate classifications were used. De Martonne aridity index a…
Assessing host-parasite specificity through coprological analysis: a case study with species of Corynosoma (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) from marin…
2011
In this paper we report an investigation of the utility of coprological analysis as an alternative technique to study parasite specificity whenever host sampling is problematic; acanthocephalans from marine mammals were used as a model. A total of 252 scats from the South American sea lion, Otaria flavescens, and rectal faeces from 43 franciscanas, Pontoporia blainvillei, from Buenos Aires Province, were examined for acanthocephalans. Specimens of two species, i.e. Corynosoma australe and C. cetaceum, were collected from both host species. In sea lions, 78 out of 145 (37.9%) females of C. australe were gravid and the sex ratio was strongly female-biased. However, none of the 168 females of …
A new species of Ascocotyle (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) from the South American sea lion, Otaria flavescens, off Patagonia, Argentina.
2012
We describe a new heterophyid species, Ascocotyle (Ascocotyle) patagoniensis n. sp., based on specimens collected from the intestines of the South American sea lion Otaria flavescens from Patagonia (Argentina). Ascocotyle (A.) patagoniensis n. sp. is distinguished from the other species of the subgenus by the number of circumoral spines, which are arranged in 2 rows of 18 to 23. The new species also differs from the other species in having a gonotyl without papillae. The specimens exhibited the widest seminal receptacle described for a species of this subgenus. Species of the subgenus Ascocotyle usually infect fish-eating birds or mammals in freshwater or brackish habitats. Ascocotyle (A.) …
