Coextinction models are useful to understand community robustness to species loss and resilience to disturbances. We simulated pollinator extinctions in pollination networks by using a hybrid model that combined a recently developed stochastic coextinction model (SCM) for plant extinctions and a topological model (TCM) for animal extinctions. Our model accounted for variation in interaction strengths and included empirical estimates of plant dependence on pollinators to set seeds. The stochastic nature of such model allowed us...

[Background] The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) has been acknowledged as the most endangered felid species in the world. An intense contraction and fragmentation during the 20th century left less than 100 individuals split in two isolated and genetically eroded populations by 2002. Genetic monitoring and management so far have been based on 36 STRs, but their limited variability and the more complex situation of current populations demand more efficient molecular markers. The recent characterization of...

This dataset gathers information about the samplings conducted on rivers and streams of the Ebro River Basin (NE Iberian Peninsula). The aim was to use freshwater macroinvertebrates to calculate the biotic indices required to evaluate the ecological status of the open water bodies within this basin. This dataset is a part of a monitoring network set up by the Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro (hereinafter CHE). This network was established to fulfil the requirements of the...

This data set includes measurements of water samples collected from 11 water bodies (n = 8 to 30 per water body) between March 2010 and March 2013 within Doñana Natural Area. Geographic coordinates of sampling positions and a Google Earth .kml file are provided.

El Herbario MAIA tiene su origen en las colecciones del antiguo Instituto Forestal de Investigaciones y Experiencias (1929). Está ordenado según el sistema filogenético de clasificación de plantas de Adolf Engler. Contiene fundamentalmente plantas leñosas españolas y especies herbáceas y arbustivas recogidas en los bosques de España. Es un herbario histórico fundado en 1940 y actualmente adscrito al Centro de Investigación Forestal (CIFOR) del Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), dependiente...

Scientific bird ringing is a research method based on the individual marking of birds. Bird Ringing involves the marking of individual birds by highly trained ornithologists to provide vitaldata on migration patterns, demography and ecological processes.

This dataset includes the specimens of the Catalonian threatened vascular plants conserved in five public Catalonian herbaria (BC, BCN, HGI, HBIL and MTTE). Catalonia is an administrative region of Spain that includes large autochthon plants diversity and 199 taxa with IUCN threatened categories (EX, EW, RE, CR, EN and VU). This dataset includes 1,634 records collected from 17th century to nowadays. For each specimen, the species name, locality indication, collection date, collector, ecology and revision...
