Soil microbiomes are critical for ecosystem functioning, yet the global influences of climate and agricultural practices on their diversity and structure remain incompletely characterized. Here we analyzed 1921 soil samples from 33 countries worldwide across diverse biomes to assess how climate gradients and agricultural inputs, including pesticides and fertilizers, shape prokaryotic and fungal communities. We found that micro...

Research on Mediterranean mountain landscapes continues to be challenged by limited empirical knowledge and the persistence of traditional assumptions, such as their alleged isolation, statism and marginality. We present the results of a multiproxy and multiscale study in the Varica Virtudes mountain (Taibilla River Basin, southwestern Iberian Peninsula), integrating landscape studies and archaeological excavation, microstrati...

The Iberian killer whale subpopulation was assessed as critically endangered (CR) by the IUCN red list of threatened species based on the available information until 2011 on its low abundance, high newborn mortality, and dependency on the endangered Atlantic bluefin tuna. The present study focuses on updating the subpopulation demographic parameters between 2011 and 2023. Data were based on photo‐identification and stranding r...
