Contribution to the debate on the origin of autoimmune joint diseases in Europe through an archaeological case of still’s disease Open
The objective of this study is twofold: (i) to evaluate the bony changes of an early medieval skeleton (UF2) from Barcelona, which presents lesions suggestive of Still's disease and (ii) to contribute to the debate concerning the existence…

Differential coping capacities underlie the overall resistance of temperate seagrasses to herbivory Open
Grazing can impart long‐lasting changes in vegetated ecosystems. How ecosystems respond to herbivory depends on the ecological and evolutionary histories of their foundational species. The overall ecosystem functioning and associated biodi…

Multiple scale assessment of habitat, landscape, and geographic-specific attributes driving decapod assemblages in Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows Open
Seagrass meadows are biodiversity hotspots for invertebrate species including decapods. Understanding the drivers of species abundance, richness and diversity of decapod assemblages is crucial for the conservation of such hotspots, but how…

Evaluating the extent and impact of the extreme Storm Gloria on Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows Open
Extreme storms can trigger abrupt and often lasting changes in ecosystems by affecting foundational (habitat-forming) species. While the frequency and intensity of extreme events are projected to increase under climate change, its impacts …
View article: Indirect grazing‐induced mechanisms contribute to the resilience of Mediterranean seagrass meadows to sea urchin herbivory
Indirect grazing‐induced mechanisms contribute to the resilience of Mediterranean seagrass meadows to sea urchin herbivory Open
Plant–herbivore interactions are often regulated by a series of direct and indirect buffer mechanisms (compensatory or defensive plant responses, population control, alternative resources) that can determine the relative stability of the s…

Production ecology of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile meadows in Nueva Tabarca Marine Reserve: Growth, biomass and nutrient stocks along a bathymetric gradient Open
The effects of the interaction between depth and nutrients on the primary production of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica in a meadow off Nueva Tabarca island (E Spain) were investigated by assessing C, N and P concentration in the plant, th…

Exploring coexistence mechanisms in a three-species assemblage Open
Interactions among species are essential in shaping ecological communities, although it is not always clear under what conditions they can persist when the number of species involved is higher than two. Here we describe a three-species ass…
View article: The negative effects of short-term extreme thermal events on the seagrass Posidonia oceanica are exacerbated by ammonium additions
The negative effects of short-term extreme thermal events on the seagrass Posidonia oceanica are exacerbated by ammonium additions Open
Global warming is increasingly affecting our biosphere. However, in addition to global warming, a panoply of local stressors caused by human activities is having a profound impact on our environment. The risk that these local stressors cou…
View article: Recent trend reversal for declining European seagrass meadows
Recent trend reversal for declining European seagrass meadows Open
Seagrass meadows, key ecosystems supporting fisheries, carbon sequestration and coastal protection, are globally threatened. In Europe, loss and recovery of seagrasses are reported, but the changes in extent and density at the continental …

The genomic history of the Iberian Peninsula over the past 8000 years Open
Genomics of the Iberian Peninsula Ancient DNA studies have begun to help us understand the genetic history and movements of people across the globe. Focusing on the Iberian Peninsula, Olalde et al. report genome-wide data from 271 ancient …

S.O.S. Pinna nobilis: A Mass Mortality Event in Western Mediterranean Sea Open
A mass mortality event (MME) impacting the bivalve Pinna nobilis was detected across a wide geographical area of the Spanish Mediterranean Sea (Western Mediterranean Sea) in early autumn 2016. Underwater visual censuses were conducted acro…
