Purpose Gynandromorphism is a developmental anomaly characterized by the simultaneous presence of male and female sexual morphological traits within the same individual. This study documents a case of gynandromorphism in the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini 1888) in El Salvador. Methods The specimen was collected from a bovine belonging to the Experimental and Practical Station of the Faculty of Agronomic Scienc...

This review paper examines the development and application of climate predictions, primarily at seasonal timescales, as actionable information for decision‐making, with a specific focus on the Mediterranean region. It illustrates and analyses the steps required to transform climate model probabilistic forecasts into user‐defined information, emphasising the iterative nature of climate service development. By leveraging tools s...

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a widely recognized pathway for nutrient transport to coastal systems. Prior studies overlook the unique biogeochemical signatures of different SGD pathways, neglecting their differences in biogeochemical transformations and spatiotemporal factors. Here, we present an integrated assessment of nutrient delivery through three SGD pathways (fresh SGD, long‐scale recirculated SGD, and short...

The capability to predict climate fluctuations from sub–seasonal–to–decadal timescales would yield large and significant socio–economic benefits. On the other hand, our limited understanding of the mechanisms and processes responsible for predictability and systematic model errors hampers our ability to simulate and forecast climate variability. As a result, current forecast quality remains relatively unsatisfactory, particula...

Environmentally driven curtailment strategies—based on increasing wind turbine cut-in speeds during high bat activity—are increasingly adopted in wind energy regulations worldwide. These measures, typically enforced during summer nights, aim to reduce bat mortality but lead to energy losses that can compromise the economic performance of wind farms. This study assesses the impact of such regulations by analyzing three key vari...

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) supplies large quantities of nutrients and other terrestrial elements to coastal ecosystems, impacting marine biota and ecosystem functioning. Despite the relevance of prokaryotes for marine biogeochemistry, little is known about their responses to groundwater inputs. Here we explored the impact of SGD on the spatiotemporal patterns of prokaryotic communities from the Mar Menor (Murcia, Sp...
