Más allá de los dinosaurios: nuevas perspectivas para el patrimonio paleontológico de La Rioja
2018
El patrimonio paleontológico en nuestro país ha sido objeto de discusión entre científicos y legisladores desde su controvertida consideración dentro del patrimonio histórico en la Ley 16/1985, de 25 de junio, del Patrimonio Histórico Español. Así, tanto el patrimonio inmueble (yacimientos) como el mueble (ejemplares ex situ alojados en museos, colecciones y exposiciones locales) se gestionaron durante años bajo esta norma hasta su inclusión, en el año 2007, en la nueva Ley 42/2007, de 13 de diciembre, de Patrimonio Natural y Biodiversidad.

SMOS Level-2 Soil Moisture Product Evaluation in Rain-Fed Croplands of the Pampean Region of Argentina
2016
A field campaign was carried out to evaluate the Soil Moisture (SM) MIR-SMUDP2 product (v5.51) generated from the data of the Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) aboard the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission. The study area was the Pampean Region of Argentina, which was selected because it is a vast area of flatlands containing quite homogeneous rain-fed croplands, which are considered SMOS nominal land uses and hardly affected by radio-frequency interference contamination. Transects of ground handheld SM measurements were performed using ThetaProbe ML2x probes within four Icosahedral Snyder Equal Area Earth (ISEA) grid nodes, where permanent SM statio…
Topographic descriptors and thermal inversions amid the plateaus and mountains of the Jura (France)
2018
Sixteen temperature measurement sites under forest cover are distributed across the plateaus and mountains of the Jura (France). They are composed of pairs of stations located, one at the bottom of a topographic trough, the other at least 50 m higher in altitude. Three descriptors (station elevation, altitudinal difference (amplitude) between the two stations of each site, and topographical context) are used to explain how the frequency, intensity, and duration of inversions are spatially structured. Depending on whether one considers: 1) tn (minimum temperature) or tx (maximum temperature), 2) frequency or intensity, the sign of the correlation values changes. This reflects the fact that n…
Un assemblage inhabituel d’insectivores au Miocène inférieur du Sud-Ouest de l’Europe : les talpidés et les dimylidés du bassin de Ribesalbes–Alcora …
2019
The Miocene record of talpids and dimylids in south-western Europe is very scarce. In the present work, we study for the first time the talpids and complete the description of the dimylids, already started with a new species of the genus Plesiodimylus from the Ribesalbes–Alcora Basin (MN4, lower Aragonian, early Miocene) by Crespo et al. (2018). The talpids recovered inRibesalbes–Alcora comprise themost common Desmanodon daamsi and Desmanella fejfari, for which the last known occurrence is recorded here. The dimylids comprise the species Plesiodimylus ilercavonicus, which expands the biostratigraphic record of the genus and species and has been found in a new site. On the other hand, we dis…
Continental-scale temperature variability during the past two millennia
2013
Past global climate changes had strong regional expression. To elucidate their spatio-temporal pattern, we reconstructed past temperatures for seven continental-scale regions during the past one to two millennia. The most coherent feature in nearly all of the regional temperature reconstructions is a long-term cooling trend, which ended late in the nineteenth century. At multi-decadal to centennial scales, temperature variability shows distinctly different regional patterns, with more similarity within each hemisphere than between them. There were no globally synchronous multi-decadal warm or cold intervals that define a worldwide Medieval Warm Period or Little Ice Age, but all reconstructi…
Tectonic evolution of the northern Austral-Magallanes basin in the Southern Patagonian Andes from provenance analysis
2019
We studied the northern tip of the Austral-Magallanes basin in the Southern Patagonian Andes, between the Buenos Aires Lake and the Mayer River at 46°35′ SL and 48°35′ SL, respectively. Proposed objectives were: i) to differentiate Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonostratigraphic units and, ii) to characterize the different deformational events that took place in the area linked to a variable regional geodynamic context. Sandstones provenance analysis was performed on the Aptian - Albian compressive retroarc deposits and Cenozoic foreland deposits. Studied samples were classified using tectonic discrimination diagrams which show: i) for Cretaceous rocks a dominant sediment source from a recycled orog…
The metamorphic rocks of the Nunatak Viedma in the Southern Patagonian Andes: Provenance sources and implications for the early Mesozoic Patagonia-An…
2019
The Nunatak Viedma within the Southern Patagonian Icefield has been considered as a volcanic center based on its geomorphologic features, despite the fact that field explorations by Eric Shipton determined its metamorphic nature 70 years ago. We carried out fieldwork to characterize this isolated outcrop and performed the first U-Pb dating in detrital zircons from the basement rocks located inside the Southern Patagonian Icefield. We recognized very-low grade metamorphic rocks, corresponding principally to metapelites and metapsammites, and scarce metabasites. Detrital zircons in three metapsammitic samples (composite group of 240 grains) yielded prominent age population peaks at ∼1090, ∼96…
L’étude archéologique des mortiers de chaux médiévaux : vers une meilleure compréhension des gestes du maçon
2020
International audience; Ces dernières décennies, l’étude des mortiers archéologiques, en particulier médiévaux, a connu un essor considérable en lien étroit avec celui de l’archéologie du bâti. Matériaux composites, possédant à la fois une forte identité géologique et un caractère anthropique certain, les mortiers sont considérés comme étant des marqueurs chronologiques potentiels pouvant aider à la compréhension de l’évolution d’un bâtiment. Mais, au-delà des problèmes de chronologie, l’étude du mortier de chaux, qui représente près de la moitié du volume d’une maçonnerie, a permis également de progresser sur la connaissance de toute la chaîne opératoire associée. Ainsi, du four à chaux au…
Nomenclatural revision concerning some genera of the Order Trigoniida (Bivalvia)
2018
The authors have become aware of a couple of nomenclatural conflicts involving Mesozoic trigoniid genera, which are in need of clarification and proposal of replacement names: The case of Protrigonia. The subgenus Trigonia (Protrigonia) Guo, 1985 (p. 204, 269; type species Trigonia (Protrigonia) yunnanensis Guo, 1985), was proposed to encompass those species referred to the genus Trigonia which, according to that author, have small and nearly smooth shells and relatively weak teeth. Guo (1985) also included other Triassic species: Trigonia gaytani (von Klipstein, 1843) and Trigonia zlambachiensis Haas, 1909. According to Fang et al. (2009, p. 55) there was a wrong translation from the Chine…
Ongoing Evolution in the Genus Crocus: Diversity of Flowering Strategies on the Way to Hysteranthy
2021
[EN] Species of the genus Crocus are found over a wide range of climatic areas. In natural habitats, these geophytes diverge in the flowering strategies. This variability was assessed by analyzing the flowering traits of the Spanish collection of wild crocuses, preserved in the Bank of Plant Germplasm of Cuenca. Plants of the seven Spanish species were analyzed both in their natural environments (58 native populations) and in common garden experiments (112 accessions). Differences among species observed in the native habitats were maintained under uniform environmental conditions, suggesting a genetic basis for flowering mechanisms. Two eco-morphological types, autumn- and spring-flowering …
