A horizon scan exercise for aquatic invasive alien species in Iberian inland wa...

As the number of introduced species keeps increasing unabatedly, identifying and prioritising current and potential Invasive Alien Species (IAS) has become essential to manage them. Horizon Scanning (HS), defined as an exploration of potential threats, is considered a fundamental component of IAS management. By combining scientific knowledge on taxa with expert opinion, we identified the most relevant aquatic I...

A multi-taxa assessment of aquatic non-indigenous species introduced into Iber...

Aquatic ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to the introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS), lead-ing to multi-faceted ecological, economic and health impacts worldwide. The Iberian Peninsula comprises an exceptionally biodiverse Mediterranean region with a high number of threatened and endemic aquatic species, most of them strongly impacted by biological invasions. Following a structured approach that c...

Genetic differentiation among Atlantic island populations ofthe brown spiny lob...

Declines inPanulirus echinatus Smith, 1869 populations along their wide distribu-tion in the Atlantic Ocean have spurred efforts to improve their fisheries manage-ment and conservation. In this study, the genetic structure of these populations isreported for the first time.2. In a survey of 18 species-specific polymorphic microsatellite markers, 152 individ-uals were genotyped from five Atlantic oceanic islands...

Climate warming triggers the emergence of native viruses in Iberian amphibians

The number of epizootics in amphibian populations caused by viruses of the genus Ranavirus is increasing worldwide. Yet, causes for pathogen emergence are poorly understood. Here, we confirmed that the Common midwife toad virus (CMTV) and Frog virus 3 (FV3) are responsible for mass mortalities in Iberia since the late 1980s. Our results illustrate the Iberian Peninsula as a diversity hotspot for the highly viru...

New insights into the genetic diversity of zooxanthellae in Mediterranean antho...

Symbiotic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium, also called zooxanthellae, are found in association with a wide diversity of shallow-water anthozoans. The Symbiodinium genus includes numerous lineages, also referred to as clades or phylotypes, as well as a wide diversity of genetic sub-clades and sub-phylotypes. There are few studies characterizing the genetic diversity of zooxanthellae in Mediterranean an...

Comparative phylogeography of two African carnivorans presumably introduced int...

Aim Natural processes of colonization and human-mediated introductions have shaped current patterns of biodiversity in the Mediterranean Basin. We use a comparative phylogeographic approach to investigate the genetic structure of Herpestes ichneumon and Genetta genetta (Carnivora) across the Strait of Gibraltar, and test for their supposedly contemporaneous introduction into Iberia. Location Mediterranean Basin...
