Comparative phylogeography of forest-dependent vertebrates

Comparative phylogeography of forest-dependent vertebrates

Pleistocene environmental fluctuations had well-characterized impacts on the patterns of within-species divergences and diversity in temperate habitats. Here the impact the Pleistocene had on widely distributed forest vertebrates in a tropical system where the distribution of the habitat was affected by those fluctuations is examined. A comparative phylogeographical analysis of 28 non-migratory, forest-dependent vertebrates was conducted, and compared them to hypothetical phylogenies based on independent geological data and climate models. Results suggest a dynamic history, including recurrent population extinctions and replacements and a strong priority effect for local populations. Evidences indicate that proximity was more important than the presence of palaeorivers for dispersal of forest taxa between landmasses. informacion[at]ebd.csic.es Leonard et al (2015) Phylogeography of vertebrates on the Sunda Shelf: a multi-species comparison.

Las altas temperaturas están provocando que las lagunas y las marismas de Doñana pierdan agua rápidamente

Las altas temperaturas están provocando que las lagunas y las marismas de Doñana pierdan agua rápidamente
La superficie inundada en la marisma es de un 78% pero la profundidad es escasa. Por otra parte, sólo el 1,9% de las lagunas temporales están inundadas. Las precipitaciones crean una oportunidad para la cría de aves acuáticas, pero su éxito dependerá de la duración del agua disponible

Illegal wildlife trade, a serious problem for biodiversity and human health
A research team led by the Doñana BIological Station and the University Pablo de Olavide have detected wild-caught pets in 95% of the localities in the Neotropic and warns of the risk of zoonotic outbreaks

Urbanization and loss of woody vegetation are changing key traits of arthropod communities

Urbanization and loss of woody vegetation are changing key traits of arthropod communities
Urbanization is favouring smaller beetle species and larger spider species with greater dispersal capacity.

The loss of woody areas is linked to a decline in the duration of the activity period, a higher tolerance to drought, and less dispersal capacity in both groups.

Blood lead levels in an endangered vulture species decreased following restrictions on hunting practices

Blood lead levels in an endangered vulture species decreased following restrictions on hunting practices
Canarian Egyptian vulture was on the verge of extinction at the end of the 20th century. At that time, studies revealed that lead poisoning was a serious problem for the population’s survival. The work has been possible thanks to the monitoring carried out since 1998 by the Doñana Biological Station in collaboration with the Canarian authorities.
