This study focuses on bimodal meta-volcanic rocks present in the Iberian Massif, in the ´Evora-Aracena Metamorphic Belt of the Ossa-Morena Zone (OMZ), near the boundary with the South Portuguese Zone. New petrological, geochemical (whole-rock and Sr–Nd isotopes) and LA-ICP-MS U–Pb zircon geochronology data are presented to track the magmatic evolution of both felsic and mafic rocks and their respective geodynam...
An ensemble of fifteen granodiorite/tonalite plutons and minor intrusions was generated during CambroOrdovician times (ca. 498–462 Ma) at the margin of Gondwana, which occupies a large portion of the Central Iberian Zone of the Iberian Massif (Spain and Portugal). This ensemble is known as the Beira-Extremadura batholith (BEB), which is mainly composed of tonalities and granodiorites (>90 vol%) and shows an aty...
Cambro–Ordovician silicic magmatism in the Central Iberian Zone of the Iberian Massif (Ollo de Sapo Formation, OSF) constitutes a voluminous and geochemically atypical magmatic event that formed preceding the breakup of the northern margin of Gondwana. To date, and due to uncommon geochemical signatures, such as a high Fe, Mg content compared to anatectic melts and the departing from the calc-alkaline trends, t...
Bulk rock geochemistry and sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe zircon geochronology of igneous and metaigneous rocks of the Évora gneiss dome, located to the north of the reworked Rheic Ocean suture zone in the southwest Iberian Variscan belt, reveal a succession of magmatic and melting events lasting ∼30 m.y. between ca. 341–314 Ma. The study of detailed feld relationships of orthomigmatites (i.e., migmat...
This study of Sr-Nd initial isotopic ratios of plutons from the North Patago nian batholith (Argentina and Chile) revealed that a secular evolution spanning 180 m.y., from the Jurassic to Neogene, can be established in terms of magma sources, which in turn are correlated with changes in the tectonic regime. The provenance and composition of end-member components in the source of mag mas are represented by the S...

Analysis of the morphological and genetic differences in the skin response to injury between Turbot and Brill.
A comprehensive expert consultation was conducted in order to assess the status, trends and the most important drivers of change in the abundance and geographical distribution of kelp forests in European waters. This consultation included an on-line questionnaire, results from a workshop and data provided by a selected group of experts working on kelp forest mapping and eco-evolutionary research. Differences in...
Gastric cancer is among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While heritable forms of gastric cancer are relatively rare, identifying the genes responsible for such cases can inform diagnosis and treatment for both hereditary and sporadic cases of gastric cancer. Mutations in the E-cadherin gene, CDH1, account for 40% of the most common form of familial gastric cancer (FGC), hereditary diffuse...
In southern Europe and the western Mediterranean, Permo-Carboniferous magmatism is well represented in areas of Iberia, the Alps, Sardinia and the Balkan Peninsula. In Iberia, the magmatism that has been related to the Variscan orogeny is associated with syn-orogenic events at ca. 350-315 Ma and post-orogenic at ca. 310-295 Ma. In the southern Pyrenees there is Permo-Carboniferous sedimentary basins with a sign...
