Bartomeu de Tresbens, metge i astròleg de Pere el Cerimomiós : aproximació biogràfica i diplomatari
2019
Aproximació biogràfica a Bartomeu de Tresbens, físic i astròleg al servei del rei Pere el Cerimoniós i del seu fill l'infant Joan, futur Joan I el Caçador. Ho fem a partir del conjunt de la documentació sobre aquest personatge que fins ara ha estat descoberta als arxius, fonamentalment a l'Arxiu de la Corona d'Aragó, i també a partir de les notícies que apareixen en el conjunt de les seves obres sobre astrologia. Hem situat Tresbens en els seus orígens occitans, així com en el context de les activitats econòmiques, polítiques i socials durant el temps que el tenim documentat en terres de la Corona d'Aragó, mostrant l'home que hi ha al darrere de la més important obra astrològica en català. …
Novedades y consideraciones sobre el género Centaurea L. en la flora valenciana
2008
Se realizan algunas reflexiones sobre las especies valencianotarraconenses de Centaurea sect. Willkommia, grupo que actualmente está conformado por seis táxones en dicho territorio. A partir del estudio de numeroso material que cubre la mitad norte de la provincia de Valencia y la totalidad de Castellón, se revisan dichos táxones y se realiza una nueva propuesta en la que se describen dos nuevas especies: C. aguilellae (de las comarcas del centro-norte de Valencia) y C. fabregatii (de las comarcas del centro-este de Castellón). Novelties and considerations on Centaurea L. concerning the Valencian flora (eastern Spain): Data are reported on the Valencian-Tarraconensian (E of Spain) species o…
Tipos nomenclaturales de lirios ibéricos (Iris y géneros relacionados, Iridaceaae)
2012
Nomenclatural types are reported for seventeen taxa belonging to Iris and six related genera, which are accepted in the forthcoming treatment of Iridaceae for Flora iberica. Among them, 13 lectotypes and one neotype are designated for the first time, and three previous typifications are briefly commented. Se presentan los tipos nomenclaturales de 17 táxones pertenecientes a Iris y otros seis géneros relacionados, que se aceptan en el tratamiento de las Iridaceae para Flora iberica. De ellos, se designan por primera vez 13 lectótipos y un neótipo, y se comentan brevemente tres tipificaciones previas. This research was partly supported by Flora iberica project, parts VIII & IX (CGL2008-02982-…
Coprolites in natural traps : direct evidence of bone-eating carnivorans from the Late Miocene Batallones-3 site, Madrid, Spain
2021
We describe two carnivoran coprolites found in the pseudokarst natural carnivore trap of Batallones-3, from the Late Miocene of Spain. The larger one, comprising multiple indistinguishable fragments of broken and corroded bones, indicates that the producer of the dropping might have been highly capable of crushing the softer parts of large bones. On the other hand, the smaller one shows several relatively larger and more complete bone fragments, thus exhibiting a greater capacity to break and swallow large portions of bone. The external morphology of the large coprolite is similar to that of extant bears, whereas the smaller one more closely resembles that of the living insectivorous hyaeni…
Vegetation and climate in the eastern Iberian Peninsula during the pre-evaporitic Messinian (late Miocene). Palynological data from the Upper Turolia…
2015
International audience; The present paper reports a complete palynological study of the Upper Turolian sediments outcropping at the Venta del Moro site (eastern Iberian Peninsula). The pollen assemblages observed mainly reflect the local and regional vegetation, which must have formed part of a wetland ecosystem within a general setting of open steppe, as indicated by the great abundance and diversity of herbaceous pollen. This reflects the persistence of open vegetation in the Iberian Peninsula after the Middle Miocene when it became extensive. We here report the most recent record of Disanthus for the Iberian Peninsula. This shrub played an important role in an unusual, edaphically-mediat…
Nota sobre tortrícidos ibéricos del género Pammene Hübner, [1825] (Lepidoptera : Tortricidae)
2006
Se dan a conocer dos especies de Tortricidae (Olethreutinae, Grapholitini) del género Pammene Hübner, [1825]: P. obscurana (Stephens, 1834) y P. suspectana ([Lienig] & Zeller, 1846). Éstas se diagnosticaron mediante el estudio de la genitalia de ejemplares masculinos capturados en Cataluña en trampas delta de base pegajosa, cebadas con feromona sexual de Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus, 1758) y de Grapholita molesta (Busck, 1916). La primera es nueva para Cataluña (España); la segunda lo es para la fauna íbero-balear. Two species of Tortricidae (Olethreutinae, Grapholitini) belonging to the genus Pammene Hübner, [1825]: P. obscurana (Stephens, 1834) and P. suspectana ([Lienig] & Zeller, 1846) are…
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…
Intestinal helminth communities of Podarcis bocagei and Podarcis carbonelli (Sauria: Lacertidae) in NW Portugal
2006
Abstract A survey of gastrointestinal helminth communities of Podarcis bocagei and Podarcis carbonelli (Sauria: Lacertidae) from NW Portugal was conducted to determine the prevalence, intensity and diversity of intestinal parasites in these lizards. A few parasite species were found in both hosts, their prevalences, mean intensities and abundances of infection being low or very low. Low values of richness and abundance of parasite species were also found in the helminth infracommunities of individuals of both host species. These low values of parameters of infection and diversity are discussed and compared between both host species and among other Iberian lacertid lizards.
Future Projection of precipitation changes in the Júcar and Segura River Basins (Iberian Peninsula) by CMIP5 GCMs Local Downscaling
2021
The basins of the Júcar and Segura rivers, on the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula, present a special water problem and are of particular interest regarding climate change. These basins are very vulnerable to a possible scenario of decreasing water resources. Recent studies on historic rainfall since 1955 have indicated an ongoing loss of precipitation in their headwaters, especially in the case of the Júcar river. The aim of the present study is to perform climate projections for the precipitation variable for several future periods (2021–2040, 2051–2070, 2081–2100) and emission scenarios (RCPs 4.5, 8.5) within the Júcar and Segura River Basin authorities. For this purpose, a s…
Influences of synoptic situation and teleconnections on fog-water collection in the Mediterranean Iberian Peninsula, 2003-2012
2019
Fog-water collection has been widely analysed for its quantification and potential uses; however, there are few studies assessing the synoptic conditions and large-scale teleconnection patterns that affect its occurrence. Focusing on the Mediterranean Iberian Peninsula, this work aims to analyse the synoptic patterns, both at surface level and 850 hPa geopotential height, that most likely to favour fog-water collection, and to quantify the relationship between fog-water collection and the NAOi (North Atlantic Oscillation index), MOi (Mediterranean Oscillation index) as well as WeMOi (Western Mediterranean Oscillation index) teleconnection patterns. For this purpose, daily fog-water observat…
