Hoja de ruta para la recuperación del Mar Menor
Along many roads worldwide, drainage culverts are the only structures wildlife can safely use to cross. However, culverts inundate and can become unavailable to terrestrial... -
Evaluating Groundwater Management Sustainability under Limited Data Availabil...
In recent years, many researchers have devoted their efforts to finding an objective measurement of sustainability by developing evaluation tools based on sustainability... -
Assessing the nursery role for marine fish species in a hypersaline coastal l...
Wildlife crossing structures are used to mitigate barrier effects and to reduce mortality. Many factors affect their effectivity, including typology, location and maintenance.... -
Paisaje urbano histórico: viviendas tradicionales en el litoral del Mar Menor...
Habitat fragmentation is a major biodiversity threat. Linear infrastructures (e.g. roads) hamper the movement of individuals and cause non-natural mortality. Roadkill hotspots... -
The management story of Mar Menor
Functional connectivity modeling is increasingly used to predict the best spatial location for over- or underpasses, to mitigate road barrier effects and wildlife roadkills.... -
¿Lagunas como sujetos de derechos? El Mar Menor y la Ley 19/2022
It is widely known that political borders should not hamper wildlife. Conservation actions involving several countries are perceived to bring large-scale benefits to nature... -
New Strategies to Improve Co-Management in Enclosed Coastal Seas and Wetlands...
Enclosed coastal seas and wetlands are areas of high ecological value with singular fauna and flora, but several cases of environmental catastrophes in recent decades can easily... -
La naturaleza como sujeto de derechos: el caso del Mar Menor
Invasions by alien species are among the most important threats to biodiversity, ecosystems and human well-being. The extent of their negative impacts demands a considerable... -
The Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) of the Mar Menor as a model for t...
Habitat fragmentation affects amphibian populations worldwide. Urban expansion and associated infrastructure are a main cause of habitat degradation and loss of landscape-scale... -
Gestión del abastecimiento de agua en una región semiárida: análisis del cons...
Annually, roads, and their associated users, are responsible for millions of roadkills worldwide. Mortality affects multiple taxonomic groups, but amphibians are particularly... -
An integrated Pan-European perspective on coastal Lagoons management through ...
Rapidly expanding road networks have been a key driver of the fragmentation and isolation of many wildlife species, and are a source of significant mortality due to collisions... -
Ontologías duales en el Campo de Cartagena: el Mar Menor en disputa
According to EU Strategy, the green infrastructure (GI) is “a strategically planned network of natural and semi-natural areas with other environmental features designed and... -
Proposal of the “Wastewater Use Basin” Concept as an Integrated Sewage and Ra...
We investigated patterns of species richness and community dissimilarity along elevation gradients using globally replicated, standardized surveys of vascular plants. We asked... -
A novel way of being together? On the depoliticising effects of attributing r...
Roads are a significant cause of habitat fragmentation and a barrier to movement of several species across the world. Terrestrial species with low mobility, low abundance and... -
Science and the legal rights of nature
We modelled the spatiotemporal patterns of road mortality for seven medium-large mammals, using a roadkill dataset from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil (800 km of roads surveyed... -
Geografía del agua de boca y el saneamiento en el Campo de Cartagena-Mar Meno...
Roadkill estimates can be heavily biased due to variable carcass persistence time. If not adequately considered, this bias may lead to incorrect management actions. We designed... -
Gestión Integrada del Agua en la Región de Murcia. El caso del Campo de Carta...
Urbanization and its inherent road network are one of the major movements that impulse landscape and biodiversity change, and its effects have yet to be fully understood. Few... -
Impacto medioambiental de las propuestas de acceso norte a la Manga del Mar M...
Pest species cause significant ecological, social and economic impacts, and programs to control them usually target specific landscape features when pests use these to disperse.... -
Proceso urbanizador y clima: causas y consecuencias en el caso de la Región d...
We assessed wildlife roadkill spatial patterns focusing on asphalt roads in southern Spanish oak rangelands (“dehesas”). Four roads in the Sierra Morena range (Andalusia) were...
