Many habitat specialist species are originally composed of small, discontinuous populations because their habitats naturally fragmented or patchy. They may have suffered the long-term effects natural patchiness. Mediterranean heathlands, a representative in Strait Gibraltar region, associated with nutrient-poor, acidic sandstone soils. Sandstone soil patches African side (Tangier) are, general, smaller and more scattered than European (Algeciras). In this study, we analyze effect patchiness...
Español. La especie Corema album se encuentra en el litoral oeste de la Península Ibérica, desde Camariñas (La Coruña) hasta Punta Camarinal (Cádiz), donde ha sufrido un considerable retroceso, como otros muchos taxones distribución costera. A lo largo del área cual aparece usado ceremonias religiosas, al igual que aprovechaban sus frutos comestibles, los cuales llegaron a ser producto más algunos mercados ciudades gallegas y portuguesas. En cambio, no estaba constatado uso tal región...
Erica australis and arborea are morphologically ecologically similar heather species. is restricted to the western Mediterranean Basin where it overlaps with westernmost distribution of E. arborea. Here we investigate role Strait Gibraltar (SG) as a potential biogeographical barrier dispersal and/or glacial refugium in these two spp. (WMed) region contrasting geographical origins distributions. Samples were collected from 55 54 populations arborea, respectively. One individual each 52 45...
Abstract Question Does the number and relative abundance of sandstone specialist woody species in Mediterranean heathland ( herriza ) communities Strait Gibraltar decrease with increasing patch isolation? If so, does this reduction suggest deterministic (ecological filtering) or random drift) effects? Location region. Methods We recorded identity generalist plant 26 samples. then calculated degree isolation each sample used generalized linear regression models to examine effect on richness...
Background: Heathlands are relatively abundant in the landscape of western Mediterranean region, especially Strait Gibraltar where it is locally known as herriza. They associated with a mild climate regime and acid, nutrient-poor soils. harbour high plant diversity, often viewed consequence transition between European Atlantic heathland sclerophyllous shrubland floras.Aims: To determine whether species-rich heathlands, including herriza, constitute distinct formations rather than...
Riella affinis Howe & Underwood is a rare species that thus far known from eight populations worldwide. Only half of these were recorded in the last 50 years and none recollected since first reported. Study Spanish population R. cossoniana Trab., 2002 Las Lomas, Malaga province, revealed it belongs to affinis. The correct identity populations, which had not been available for study, was already suggested by reproductive ecological characteristics plants mentioned original publication. three...
Abstract Calluna vulgaris (Ericaceae) is the most widespread and prevalent woody species of European dry heathland, from African side Strait Gibraltar to northern Europe. However, previous biogeographic analyses this have ignored western Mediterranean region, despite its preponderant role as a major glacial refugium for biota. Here, we explore existence further Pleistocene refugia C. in Iberian Peninsula area provide new insights into post-glacial colonization Europe by emblematic heathland...
Introduction Riella Mont. is unusual among bryophyte genera because its species have an ephemeral habit and grow submerged in fresh or brackish waters. Most show fragmented distribution areas few known populations are thus of conservation concern. The flagship Mediterranean R. helicophylla (Bory & Mont.) has recently been taxonomically reassessed, most placed a new species, macrocarpa (P.Allorge) Puche, Segarra-Moragues, Sabovlj., M.Infante Heras. Here we describe the development nuclear...
