Motivation Geographic occurrences are essential for biodiversity studies, but publicly available repositories like GBIF often contain errors and biases, especially for taxonomically complex groups like Carex L. (Cyperaceae). This work provides an expert‐curated global dataset of occurrences compiled from different sources to enhance data accuracy and usability. The final dataset includes 384,067 occurrences of 1790 Carex speci...

Currently, hydrodynamic models for bay and estuarine systems involve many parameters that require proper calibration to design coastal structures effectively. However, in coastal regions with limited data availability, the implementation of such models becomes challenging. This research introduces a simplified hydrodynamic methodology designed to analyse the impact of hydraulic control structures in shallow waters. This approa...

In this study we have compiled the information from official databases about Iberian ibex, Capra pyrenaica , hunting yields, hunting trophies and hunting licenses in the Spanish regions where the species is present and hunted. Such quotas showed an increasing trend between 2005–2021 and, on average, during this period, ≈ 6400 animals were yearly harvested. Despite this number decreased in 2019 and 2020 (in this last year, main...

The current study investigated the structure and function of the olfactory system of the Lusitanian toadfish, Halobatrachus didactylus , using histology and electrophysiology (electro‐olfactogram [EOG]), respectively. The olfactory system consists of a digitated anterior peduncle, of unknown function, containing the inhalant nostril. This then leads to a U‐shaped olfactory chamber with the olfactory epithelium—identified by G...

Water losses in water distribution systems are typically analysed using extended period simulations, where its numerical resolution is commonly achieved using the gradient method. These models assume that adjustments to regulating valves occur, either manually or automatically, over an extended period of time, then the system inertia can be neglected. This research introduces the development of a rigid water column model for a...

Major histocompatibility complex ( MHC ) loci encode glycoproteins that bind to foreign peptides and initiate immune responses through their interaction with T cells. MHC class II molecules are heterodimers consisting of α and β chains encoded by extremely variable genes; variation in exon 2 is responsible for the majority of observed polymorphisms, mostly concentrated in the codons specifying the peptide‐binding region. L act...

Differences in plant and herbivore community assemblages between exotic and native ranges may select for different levels of plant traits in invasive and native populations of plant species. Little is currently known of how herbivores may mediate competitive and facilitative interactions between invasive and native populations of plant species and their plant neighbors. Here, we conducted a common‐garden field experiment to te...
