Villastrigo A, Orenes-Salazar V, Garcia-Meseguer A, Miron-Gaton J, Mourre B, Millan A, et al.
NPJ Biodivers
. 2024 Sep;
2(1):25.
PMID: 39242708
Coastal habitats are amongst the most dynamic on Earth, due to their simultaneous exposure to terrestrial, oceanic and atmospheric processes. Coastal taxa are therefore often ecologically specialised and adapted to...

. 2024 Mar;

PMID: 38535336
Flight dispersal is ecologically relevant for the survival of supratidal rockpool insects. Dispersal has important consequences for colonisation, gene flow, and evolutionary divergence. Here, we compared the flight dispersal capacity...

PMID: 37999080
Here we focus on designing, for the first time, microsatellite markers for evolutionary and ecological research on aquatic beetles from the genus (Coleoptera, Hydraenidae). Some of these non-model species, with...

. 2021 Apr;
12(4).
PMID: 33806018
In the context of aridification in Mediterranean regions, desiccation resistance and physiological plasticity will be key traits for the persistence of aquatic insects exposed to increasing desiccation stress. Control of...

J Insect Physiol
. 2019 Jun;
117:103899.
PMID: 31202853
Salinity tolerance has enabled the colonization of inland saline waters and promoted species diversification in some lineages of aquatic insects. However, the mechanisms behind this tolerance, particularly the role of...

. 2018 Dec;

PMID: 30583186
Naturally stressed ecosystems hold a unique fraction of biodiversity. However, they have been largely ignored in biomonitoring and conservation programmes, such as the EU Water Framework Directive, while global change...

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2018 Dec;
374(1764).
PMID: 30509913
Under global change, the ion concentration of aquatic ecosystems is changing worldwide. Many freshwater ecosystems are being salinized by anthropogenic salt inputs, whereas many naturally saline ones are being diluted...

PMID: 30509911
Abiotic stress shapes how communities assemble and support ecological functions. However, it remains unclear whether artificially increasing or decreasing stress levels would lead to communities assembling predictably along a single...

PMID: 30509910
Considering how organisms adapt to stress is essential if we are to anticipate biological responses to global change in ecosystems. Communities in stressful environments can potentially be assembled by specialists...

Mol Ecol
. 2017 Aug;
26(20):5614-5628.
PMID: 28833872
Transitions from fresh to saline habitats are restricted to a handful of insect lineages, as the colonization of saline waters requires specialized mechanisms to deal with osmotic stress. Previous studies...
