Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds
Clark, Bethany L.; Carneiro, Ana P. B.; Pearmain, Elizabeth J.; Rouyer, Marie-Morgane; Clay, Thomas A.; Cowger, Win; Phillips, Richard A; Manica, AndreaPlastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world's oceans. Likewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. Understanding where wildlife encounters plastic is crucial for targeting research and mitigation. Oceanic seabirds, particularly petrels, frequently ingest plastic, are highly threatened, and cover vast distances during foraging and m...

Stratification strength and light climate explain variation in chlorophyll a at...
Donis, Daphne; Mantzouki, Evanthia; McGinnis, Daniel F.; Vachon, Dominic; Gallego, Irene; Grossart, Hans-Peter; Senerpont Domis, Lisette N.To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the European continent. Multilinear regression models tested on this snapshot of mostly eutrophic lakes (median total phosphorus [TP] = 0.06 and total nitrogen [TN] = 0.7 mg L-1), and its subsets (2 depth types a...

Hunting strategy and seasonality in the last interglacial occupation of Cueva A...
Sanz, Montserrat; Rivals, Florent; García, David; Zilhão, JoãoThe Middle Palaeolithic site of Cueva Antón (Murcia, Spain) is a cave/rock shelter with short-term human occupations dated to marine isotopic stages 5a and 3 (MIS 5a and MIS 3). The site provides a high-resolution sequence because the cave’s living floors, organized around hearth features, present rich assemblages of artefacts and faunal remains rapidly buried by low-energy flooding. The accumulation and modifi...

Mantzouki, Evanthia; Campbell, James; Loon, Emiel van; Visser, Petra; Konstantinou, Iosif; Antoniou, Maria G.; Giuliani, GrégoryUnder ongoing climate change and increasing anthropogenic activity, which continuously challenge ecosystem resilience, an in-depth understanding of ecological processes is urgently needed. Lakes, as providers of numerous ecosystem services, face multiple stressors that threaten their functioning. Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are a persistent problem resulting from nutrient pollution and climate-change induced ...
Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial to...
Mantzouki, Evanthia; Lürling, Miquel; Fastner, Jutta; Domis, Lisette N. de Senerpont; Wilk-Woźniak, Elżbieta; Koreivienė, Judita; Seelen, LauraInsight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.g., anatoxin-a) and cytotoxins (e.g., cylindrospermopsin) due to their potency. Most studies examine the relationship between individ...
Analysis of conservation priorities of Iberoamerican cattle based on autosomal ...
Ginja, Catarina; Gama, Luís T.; Cortes, Óscar; Delgado, Juan Vicente; Dunner, Susana; García, David; Landi, Vincenzo; Martín-Burriel, InmaculadaBackground: Determining the value of livestock breeds is essential to define conservation priorities, manage genetic diversity and allocate funds. Within- and between-breed genetic diversity need to be assessed to preserve the highest intra-specific variability. Information on genetic diversity and risk status is still lacking for many Creole cattle breeds from the Americas, despite their distinct evolutionary ...
