The elusive spinetail devil ray ( Mobula mobular ): a multimethod approach to track its presence in the Spanish Mediterranean SeaNARA Subscribed
Along the coastal regions of the Mediterranean Sea, certain pelagic elasmobranchs seasonally occur, such as the endangered spinetail devil ray ( Mobula mobular ). Given its current conservation status, these occurrences hold significant scientific interest. Therefore, this study examined spinetail devil ray occurrences in a data‐deficient region of the Spanish Mediterranean coast, exclusively using opportunistic records from c...
Structural brain correlates of balance control in children with cerebral palsy: baseline correlations and effects of trainingNARA Subscribed
Structural brain abnormalities likely underlie impaired balance control in cerebral palsy (CP). This study investigated whether balance measures were associated with measures derived from conventional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and whether an X-Box One Kinect balance training (6 weeks, 5 days/week, 30 min/session) could induce neuroplastic changes in CP. Twelve children with spastic CP (age:11.3 ± 2.3y) underwent...
Occurrence of juvenile porbeagle sharks ( Lamna nasus ) in the northern coast of SpainNARA Subscribed
Opportunistic records can provide valuable information on certain species, including the critically endangered porbeagle shark ( Lamna nasus ). This note documents the occurrence of three juveniles, with approximate 120‐, 88‐, and 85‐cm fork lengths respectively, observed along the coast of Asturias, Spain, in 2024. Given the three distinct scenarios in which these records respectively occurred (incidental capture, washed asho...
Restoration is considered an effective strategy to accelerate the recovery of biological communities at local scale. However, the effects of restoration actions in the marine ecosystems are still unpredictable. We performed a global analysis of published literature to identify the factors increasing the probability of restoration success in coastal and marine systems. Our results confirm that the majority of active restoration...
We describe the stratigraphy, age and correlation of a prominent tephra marker, named Lepué Tephra, extensively distributed in north‐western Patagonia. Lepué Tephra is well dated at c . 11 000 cal a BP from numerous lake and soil cover‐bed sequences and its recognition is useful for assessing the rate and timing of deglaciation as well as associated environmental changes in this region during the last glacial termination and e...
Climate change and resilience of deciduous Nothofagus forests in central–east Chilean Patagonia over the last 3200 yearsNARA Subscribed
We examine the response of Nothofagus forests to climate change and disturbance regimes over the last 3200 years near Coyhaique (45°S), central–east Chilean Patagonia, using fine‐resolution pollen and charcoal records from lake sediment cores. Closed‐canopy deciduous Nothofagus forests have dominated the region with little variation until the arrival of Chilean–European settlers, suggesting a predominance of cool‐temperate and...
Comparative genomics of Mortierella elongata and its bacterial endosymbiont Mycoavidus cysteinexigensNARA Subscribed
Summary Endosymbiosis of bacteria by eukaryotes is a defining feature of cellular evolution. In addition to well‐known bacterial origins for mitochondria and chloroplasts, multiple origins of bacterial endosymbiosis are known within the cells of diverse animals, plants and fungi. Early‐diverging lineages of terrestrial fungi harbor endosymbiotic bacteria belonging to the Burkholderiaceae. We sequenced the metagenome of the soi...
Species' responses to climate change are variable and diverse, yet our understanding of how different responses (e.g. physiological, behavioural, demographic) relate and how they affect the parameters most relevant for conservation (e.g. population persistence) is lacking. Despite this, studies that observe changes in one type of response typically assume that effects on population dynamics will occur, perhaps fallaciously. We...
