The (Evolving) vineyard’s age structure in the valencian community, Spain. A new demographic approach for rural development and landscape analysis
2019
Vineyards have assumed a key role as rural landmarks in recent decades. Investigating vineyard dynamics and contexts may reveal various economic, cultural, and environmental aspects of rural landscapes, which can be linked to land-use changes and major soil degradation processes, including soil erosion. As a contribution to rural landscape studies, the purpose of this work is to investigate the spatial distribution of vineyard plots in the Valencian community, located in the eastern area of the Iberian Peninsula, focusing on the final product, the type of vineyard and how long each vineyard has been settled over time. The work provides a comprehensive analysis of a wine-growing landscape, c…
Apatodemus degiulii n. gen. et sp. (Rodentia, Muridae), a hitherto undescribed endemite from the Terre Rosse of Gargano (Late Miocene, Southeastern I…
2016
The taxonomy of the murid that had been ascribed to the genus Apodemus from the late Miocene insular faunal assemblages of Gargano (Southeastern Italy) is revised. Morphological and odontometric analyses of important new dental characters were undertaken. Our investigations revealed substantial morphological differences from Apodemus. The rodent is therefore assigned to a new genus and species, Apatodemus degiulii. The new species is characterised by a combination of advanced and primitive characters: moderately brachyodont teeth, t7 present in all M1–2s, elongated and distally located t1 in M1, t1 often twinned in M1–2, and narrow labial cingulid in lower molars associated to a well-develo…
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…
First record of Mesopithecus (Cercopithecidae, Colobinae) from the Miocene of the Iberian Peninsula
2015
We report dental remains of the extinct colobine monkey Mesopithecus from the Turolian (MN13, Late Miocene, ca. 6.23 Ma) locality of Venta del Moro (Valencia, Spain). They include most of the deciduous dentition and the unerupted germs of the first molars of a single infantile individual, as well as two lower left lateral incisors from two additional individuals. On the basis of morphometric comparisons, mainly based on the Ms, these remains are attributed to the Late Miocene species Mesopithecus pentelicus. They represent a significant addition to the knowledge of the deciduous dentition of this taxon, much less well-known than the permanent dentition. Although this genus was widely distri…
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…
Los proyectos de Max Aub en la revista Ínsula a través de la correspondencia con José Luis Cano
2014
Especialmente desde los años cincuenta, Max Aub trató de renovar los contactos con la España interior. El establecimiento de redes con las revistas literarias españolas se convirtió en la base de la reintegración de Max Aub en el sistema literario español. Este artículo analiza las relaciones entre la revista Ínsula y el escritor a través de sus artículos y textos de creación, pero sobre todo a través de la correspondencia entre José Luis Cano, secretario de la revista, y Max Aub. Mediante el estudio de la correspondencia, descubrimos un proyecto de número especial que tenía el objetivo de reunir a los escritores y a los intelectuales mexicanos; Aub se convierte así en un difusor de la lite…
Towards a philological characterization of don Enrique de Villena’s "Los doze trabajos de Hércules"
2019
Don Enrique de Aragón (c. 1384-1434) resulta una de las figuras más influyentes en el período del Humanismo peninsular. Su primera creación –Los doze trabajos de Hércules– constituye la primera interpretación mitológica del prerrenacimiento hispánico, al tiempo que constituye uno de los testimonios romances más antiguos del tópico de las armas y de las letras. Este artículo pretende caracterizar desde el punto de vista filológico sus rasgos de estilo más representativos, así como iniciar posibilidades re-novadas de estudio, centradas en la Fraseología hispánica medieval.
Short range charge/orbital ordering in La1−xSrxMn1−zBzO3 (B = Cu,Zn) manganites
2005
We have measured the reflectivity spectra of La1−x SrxMn1−zBzO3 (B = Cu, Zn; 0.17 x 0.30; 0 z 0.10) manganites over wide frequency (100–4000 cm −1 )a nd temperature (80–300 K) ranges. Besides the previously observed infrared active modes or mode pairs at about 160 cm −1 (external mode), 350 cm −1 (bond bending mode) and 590 cm −1 (bond stretching mode), we have clearly observed two additional phonon modes at about 645 and 720 cm −1 below the temperature T1 (T1 < TC), which coincides with the phase transition temperature when the system transforms from ferromagnetic metallic into a ferromagnetic insulator state. This transition is related to the formation of short range charge/orbitally orde…
