Defining the importance of landscape metrics for large branchiopod biodiversity...
Sala, Jordi; Gascón, Stéphanie; Cunillera-Montcusí, David; Alonso, Miguel; Amat, Francisco; Cancela Da Fonseca, Luís; Cristo, MargaridaThe deficiency in the distributional data of invertebrate taxa is one of the major impediments acting on the bias towards the low awareness of its conservation status. The present study sets a basic framework to understand the large branchiopods distribution in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Since the extensive surveys performed in the late 1980s, no more studies existed updating the information fo...

How threatened are large branchiopods (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) in the Iberian ...
Garcia-de-Lomas, Juan; Sala, Jordi; Barrios, Violeta; Prunier, Florent; Camacho, Antonio; Machado, Margarida; Alonso, Miguel; Korn, Michael; Boix, DaniThe Iberian Peninsula harbours 24 taxa of native large branchiopods (LBs). Most of them inhabit Mediterranean temporary ponds, which are priority habitats under the EU Habitats Directive. In this work, Iberian LBs were evaluated using IUCN Red List criteria based on geographic range (extent of occurrence, area of occupancy, number of locations, habitat fragmentation and expected decline). Our results show that ...

Garcia de Lomas, Juan; Garcia, Carlos M.; Hortas, Francisco; Prunier, Florent; Boix, Dani; Sala, Jordi; Leon, David; Serrano, Laura; Prenda, JoséThe province of Cadiz (South of Spain) hosts the only known locality in the world of Linderiella baetica Alonso & Garcia-de-Lomas 2009 (Anostraca). In this paper, the geographical distribution of the species based on published sampling data focused on large branchiopods and temporary pools in Andalusia and the entire Iberian Peninsula is assessed. The current situation is summarized based on the threats to thei...
