Factors Influencing Abundances and Population Size Structure of the Threatened and Endemic Cyprinodont Aphanius iberus in Mediterranean Brackish Ponds
(Water, 12(11), 3264, 2020)Aphanius iberus is an endemic cyprinodontoid fish species of Mediterranean ponds in danger of extinction. In this study, we studied some abiotic and biotic factors that can influence A. iberus’s size ... -
Hydroperiod length, not pond age, determines zooplankton taxonomic and functional diversity in temporary ponds Hydroperiod length, not pond age, determines zooplankton taxonomic and functional diversity in temporary ponds
(Ecological Indicators, 159, 111632, 2024)Mediterranean Temporary ponds (MTPs) are suffering severe alterations in their hydrological and salinity regime through global change, and restoration or conservation of these habitats is a priority. ... -
Isolation mediates persistent founder effects on zooplankton colonisation in new temporary ponds
(Scientific Reports, 7, 43983, 2017)Understanding the colonisation process in zooplankton is crucial for successful restoration of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we analyzed the clonal and genetic structure of the cyclical parthenogenetic ... -
Longer hydroperiods intensify predation effects on planktonic size spectra in Mediterranean temporary pond
(Hydrobiologia, 2025)Mediterranean temporary ponds are ecologically vital ecosystems that support numerous endemic and rare species. These shallow ponds undergo unpredictable inter-annual fluctuations, with flooding and dry ... -
Plankton Taxonomic and Size Diversity of Mediterranean Brackish Ponds in Spring: Influence of Abiotic and Biotic Factors
(Water, 11(1), 106, 2019)In this study, performed in Mediterranean brackish ponds during spring season, we assessed the effects of biotic interactions and abiotic factors on the size and taxonomic structure of the phytoplankton ... -
The Size Structure of the Zooplankton Community Reflects Better the Trophic Status of Mediterranean Ponds Than the Taxonomic Structure
(Freshwater Biology, 70(9), 2025)1. Ponds are key habitats for regional freshwater biodiversity and play a fundamental role in enhancing connectivity between aquatic ecosystems. Despite their importance, ponds are one of the most ...
