The spatial–temporal variation of subtidal macrofauna communities of the Odiel–Tinto estuary, one of the most polluted areas in the world, was studied along a sampling period of 4 years (and 3 sampling events). This system has shown typical water and sediment characteristics of estuarine areas although the inner stations showed high...

Parvipalpus onubensis n. sp. is described based on the specimens collected from sediments on the coast of Huelva (Southwest Spain). The new species is compared with the other species in the genus:Parvipalpus capillaceus (Chevreux, 1887), P. linea Mayer, 1890 and P. major Carausu, 1941. Parvipalpus onubensis differs from the ...

EC Directive 2000/60 of the European Parliament and of the Council of Europe provides for the need to establish ecological regions along European coasts. The present article outlines research carried out in various coastal marine ecosystems as a contribution to the characterization of these ecoregions of the coast of Andalusia (southern Spain)....

Los moluscos constituyen el segundo filo animal más diverso y se encuentran en muchos tipos de hábitat, por lo que son idóneos para establecer comparaciones entre distintos ecosistemas. Se han analizado los datos de los moluscos obtenidos en una serie de emplazamientos que cubrían el sur de la península Ibérica para determinar, empleando...

As a result of the increased urban and agricultural development in coastal environments, estuaries are among the most modified and threatened aquatic ecosystems. This study used stable isotopes to examine the effects of human impacts by contrasting the food web structures of two Iberian estuaries exposed to different degrees of human pressure....

La cartografía de las comunidades bentónicas es esencial, actualmente, para promover actuaciones eficientes de uso, gestión y conservación de las zonas litorales, especialmente en el ámbito de grandes espacios litorales protegidos. En cada uno de éstos, la cartografía resulta determinante para la elaboración de un mapa de zonificación de usos,...
