Skeletal remains in archaeological strata are often assumed to be of similar ages. Here we show that combined Sr and O isotope analyses can serve as a powerful tool for assessing fish provenance and even for identifying fossil fish teeth in archaeological contexts. For this purpose, we established a reference Sr and O isotope dataset of extant fish teeth from major water bodies in the Southern Levant. Fossil shark teeth were identified within Iron Age cultural layers dating to 8–9th century BCE in the City of David, Jerusalem, although the reason for their presence remains unclear. Their enameloid 87Sr/86Sr and δ18OPO4 values [0.7075 ± 0.0001 (1 SD, n = 7) and 19.6 ± 0.9‰ (1 SD, n = 6), res…
Next-generation cophylogeny: unravelling eco-evolutionary processes
2021
A fundamental question in evolutionary biology is how microevolutionary processes translate into species diversification. Cophylogeny provides an appropriate framework to address this for symbiotic associations, but historically has been primarily limited to unveiling patterns. We argue that it is essential to integrate advances from ecology and evolutionary biology into cophylogeny, to gain greater mechanistic insights and transform cophylogeny into a platform to advance understanding of interspecific interactions and diversification more widely. We discuss key directions, such as incorporating trait reconstruction and considering multiple scales of network organization, and highlight rece…
Evaluation of geomorphometric characteristics and soil properties after a wildfire using Sentinel-2 MSI imagery for future fire-safe forest
2021
Abstract Understanding spatiotemporal geomorphological and pedological changes as a consequence of wildfires can allow stakeholders, land planners, and policymakers to design efficient fire safety-based afforestation and restoration programs of forest lands. The use of remote sensing techniques is a key tool to achieve this goal. The suitable combination of Sentinel-2 MSI data for mapping of different spectral indices related to burn severity and their relationship with other morphometric and soil properties can contribute to a better understanding of the impact of fire, and this is relevant in regions where is still scarce fire-related research such as Turkey. In this investigation, the us…

Las comunidades algales esciófilas en régimen relativamente calmado del litoral levantino.I. Comportamiento de los parámetros bionómicos y estructura…
1992
Se estudian las comunidades algales esciófilas infralitorales en régimen relativamente calmado del litoral levantino (España, Mediterráneo), analizando los parámetros bionómicos y estructurales más representativos basados en el recubrimiento en proyección vertical para cada especie. Se analizan las fluctuaciones de dichos parámetros en función de la profundidad. Los resultados muestran que globalmente, la comunidad presenta una composición y estructura muy similar a la detectada en otros puntos del Mediterráneo occidental. Sin embargo, la distribución en el gradiente batimétrico de las especies cuantitativamente más representativas, sugiere la existencia de una zonación en el seno de las co…
La reproducción asistida y la filiación. Especial referencia al caso de las parejas de mujeres homosexuales
2018
This paper analyses, in general, the evolution that has had the art. 7.3 LTRHA since its introduction by the Act 3/2007, 15 march. In that way, it shows which has been the legislator´s solution about the use of assisted reproduction tecniques by homosexual women couples. Likewise, it studies which resolutions on the matter have been more relevant in the last years. All this, to set out the legislator´s failure and the need to reformulate the filiation regime in face of the challenge that assisted reproduction implies.
Las técnicas de reproducción asistida en la jurisprudencia y en el cine de los Óscar
2018
El paso del tiempo y los grandes avances técnicos han dado lugar a que se puedan tener hijos no solo de forma biológica o por adopción sino también mediante otras técnicas o tratamientos médicos que facilitan el embarazo cuando éste no se consigue de forma natural. Actualmente, los principales tratamientos de fertilidad son la inseminación artificial y la fecundación in vitro (FIV). En este artículo se abordan las técnicas de reproducción asistida desde dos puntos de vista: el fílmico, analizando algunas películas que han sido nominadas a los Óscar en época reciente; y el jurídico, viendo la regulación legal y algunas de las sentencias más relevantes existentes hasta la fecha sobre este tem…

Property and cross-border couples from the perspective of European regulation
2021
The family property regimes constitute a relevant sector of the EU regulatory framework strongly connected with fundamental rights policies. Family property offers specific issues which need to balance individual rights with general interests, especially in matter of real estate property. The fragmentation of the discipline in EU Family law, the diversity of the domestic rules regarding rights in rem requires a large use of flexibility from EU legislator and EU legal professionals. The discipline provides by EU Regulations 1103 and 1104/2016 could be an interesting example to manage cross-border couple?s interests: the principles of universality and unity have to be used appropriately and, …
Developmental and Early Life Origins of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
2021
The intent of this review is to critically consider the data that support the concept of programming and its implications. Birth weight and growth trajectories during childhood are associated with cardiometabolic disease in adult life. Both extremes, low and high birth weight coupled with postnatal growth increase the early presence of cardiometabolic risk factors and vascular imprinting, crucial elements of this framework. Data coming from epigenetics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiota added relevant information and contribute to better understanding of mechanisms as well as development of biomarkers helping to move forward to take actions. Research has reached a stage in which suff…
