- Biology
- 1 August 2004
Growth rates of populations of the freshwater pearl mussel, Margaritifera margaritifera (L., 1758), in northwestern Spain were analysed based on measurements of annual annuli and using two nonlinear… Expand

INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF FRESHWATER PEARL MUSSELS (BIVALVIA: MARGARITIFERIDAE) BASED ON MOLECULAR DATA: IMPLICATIONS FOR THEIR TAXONOMY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY
- Stephanie W. Huff, David C. Campbell, D. Gustafson, C. Lydeard, C. R. Altaba, G. Giribet
- Biology
- 1 November 2004
The phylogenetic relationships among selected members of the family Margaritiferidae are investigated using sequence data from five molecular markers. Parsimony analyses of the data support the… Expand
The last known population of the freshwater mussel Margaritifera auricularia (Bivalvia, Unionoida): A conservation priority
- C. R. Altaba
- Biology
- 1990
Abstract In 1985 a population of Margaritifera auricularia was found in the lowe Ebro river and adjoining channels in Catalonia, Spain. This species once lived in large rivers over most of Western… Expand
The importance of ecological and historical factors in the production of benzaldehyde by tiger beetles
- C. R. Altaba
- Biology
- 1 March 1991
Historical factors are not mutually exclusive to ecology and must be taken into account in ecological theory and practice (Margalef, 1980; Hilborn and Stearns, 1982; Quinn and Dunham, 1984; Brooks,… Expand
The Paracladistic Approach to Phylogenetic Taxonomy
- J. Carter, C. R. Altaba, +4 authors P. Skelton
- Biology
- 30 April 2015
ABSTRACT The inclusion of some paraphyletic groups in a temporally and taxonomically comprehensive phylogenetic classification is inevitable because cladistic methodology is incapable of excluding… Expand

Phylogeny and biogeography of midwife toads (Alytes, Discoglossidae): a reappraisal
- C. R. Altaba
- Biology
- 1997
The allozyme data base of Arntzen & Garcia-Paris (1995) on midwife toads (Alytes, Discoglossidae) is reanalysed considering each locus as a discrete character. The phylogeny thus inferred differs… Expand
