Effects of wildfire ash on the fatty acid and sugar profiles of bivalves – A comparative study of a freshwater and a marine species Open
Wildfires can impact both freshwater and marine ecosystems through post-fire runoff, but its effects on bivalves, particularly those living in marine habitats, remain largely overlooked. While evidence exists that wildfire ash can alter th…

Short-term impacts of wildfires on the diversity and activity patterns of medium-sized mammals in Mediterranean coastal pine forests Open
Mammals are among the vertebrate groups with the least wildfire-related information worldwide mostly due to difficulties related to the complexity of mammal communities and underdeveloped methods to assess the direct and indirect effects o…

Horizontal migration of zooplankton in lake–wetland interfaces. Can temperature-driven surface exchange flows modulate its patterns? Open
Lake ecology can be affected by exchange flows driven by horizontal temperature gradients in lake–wetland interfaces. In this work, we investigate the hypothesis that thermally driven flows modulate the horizontal migration patterns of fre…
