Cruces procesionales y cruces de término. Alcance teológico y social de sus particularidades iconográficas
2018
El reino de Valencia, como otros de la Corona de Aragón y del resto de la Península Ibérica, se mostró especialmente propicio al levantamiento de cruces de término; pero los pocos estudios académicos que les han prestado atención se han detenido en su aspecto estilístico, lo que ha llevado a no pocos investigadores a comparar estas cruces con las de orfebrería. Más allá de su decoración, sin embargo, sus respectivas tipologías iconográficas presentan sustanciales diferencias. La ubicación de las cruces de término, fuera del ámbito eclesiástico, su medio material y, sobre todo, su función, podrían haber determinado las diferencias iconográficas respecto a otras cruces y, por ende, las implic…
Guerra, estado y organización social de la producción. La Corona de Aragón en guerra con Castilla. 1429-1430
2020
The war that during 1429 and 1430 put face to face the Crowns of Castilla and Aragon, makes a maravellous experimental ground for investigators. Though perfectly well-documented, this fact has been paradoxically negliged because of its lack of political impact. If we follow punctually the events, it is nevertheless possible to prepare a valuable comparative analysis of the characteristics and capacities of the societies in conflict. All this is possible thanks to a better knowledge of the strategies of which public powers dispose to manage a rapid and adequat supply of armament, in a preindustrial context caracterised by the incompetence of the suppliers (craftsmen and traders) to cover, w…
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…
Permian of South Europe and its interregional correlation
2000
This contribution is a synthesis of knowledge about the Permian of South Europe, which mainly consists of continental, terrigenous and igneous deposits. Marine sediments crop out in a few Italian areas (eastern Southern Alps, central-southern sectors of the peninsula and Sicily), as well as spread from the ex-Yugoslavia to the present Mediterranean sea, where they represent the westermost patterns of the old Tethys. In this context, data and interpretations vary sensibly from one region to another. Despite this, we have tried to establish the most typical events or features. Although the correlation and nature of some are still in doubt, the effort of reconstructing them is significant. Val…
Preliminary assessment of an integrated SMOS and MODIS application for global agricultural drought monitoring
2020
An application of the Soil Moisture Agricultural Drought Index (SMADI) for global agricultural drought monitoring is presented. The index integrates surface soil moisture from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and allows for global drought monitoring at medium spatial scales (0.05°). Biweekly maps of SMADI were obtained from year 2010 to 2015 over all agricultural areas on Earth. The SMADI time-series were compared with state-of-the-art drought indices over the Iberian Peninsula. Results show a good agreement between SMADI and the …
An overview of the Ephydridae (Diptera) of Saudi Arabia
2019
Despite the species richness of Ephydridae world-wide (2000 species) and its prominent environmental roles as a minor pest and as a food for wildlife, only 13 species have been recorded from Saudi Arabia. Between 2012 and 2016, a biodiversity study of Diptera was conducted at Jazan, Asir, and Najran in south-western Saudi Arabia, at 22 sites, was performed mainly using Malaise traps and sweep nets. In this study, 43 known species of Ephydridae were identified, 37 of them for the first time from southwestern Saudi Arabia and 16 from Arabian Peninsula. This brings the total number of Ephydridae species in Saudi Arabia to 49 (including previous records). There were a further four species, whic…
Rhinocylapoides brachypterus, a new cylapine genus and species from Malaysia (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae)
2011
Rhinocylapoides brachypterus gen. et sp. nov. is described from Malaysia. Illustrations of the male genitalia, color photographs of the adult, and a habitat photograph of specimens of the new genus are provided.
Water striders (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha: Gerridae) of Romania with an update on the distribution of Gerris gibbifer and G. maculatus in southeastern…
2018
The Romanian fauna comprises two species of Aquarius Schellenberg, 1800, eight species of Gerris Fabricius, 1794 and one species of Limnoporus Stål, 1868, and we hereby update the distribution and provide insights on the phenology and ecology of all eleven species in this country. We furthermore update the distribution of the two closely related species Gerris gibbifer Schummel, 1832 and G. maculatus Tamanini, 1946 in southeastern Europe. Gerris maculatus is recorded for the first time from Hungary, Montenegro and Slovenia, and the first detailed localities from Romania and Serbia are given. All bibliographic records of G. gibbifer from Romania, Macedonia and Serbia are based on misidentifi…
First xiphosuran traceway in the middle Muschelkalk facies (Middle Triassic) of the Catalan Basin (NE Iberian Peninsula)
2021
In the last decade, the first ichnoassamblages from the middle Muschelkalk facies (upper Anisian-middle Ladinian) of the Catalan Basin (NE Iberian Peninsula) have been discovered. Herein, the first xiphosuran trace fossils are described from the locality of Penya Rubí, a newly discovered ichnosite from the Catalan Basin. The finding opens a window into peri-Tethys ecosystems with coastal influence. The traceway is referred to the ichnogenus Kouphichnium, a locomotion trace attributed to xiphosurans. The traceway preserves telson grooves and different imprint morphologies from the various appendages. The traceway pattern and arrangement of the different traces suggest a crawling locomotion s…

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-…
