Spatial patterns in long-distance dispersal of Quercus ilex acorns by jays in a heterogeneous landscape

José Marı́a Gómez
2003

In this paper, I analyse the interaction between the holm-oak Quercus ilex, and one of its main dispersers, the European jay Garrulus glandarius, in an heterogeneous Mediterranean landscape. I… (More)

Seedling establishment of a boreal tree species ( Pinus sylvestris ) at its southernmost distribution limit : consequences of being in a marginal Mediterranean habitat

1 We analyse the factors controlling seedling establishment of Scots pine at its southernmost geographical limit (southern Spain), by monitoring emergence, survival and growth for up to 4 years in… (More)

Use of Shrubs as Nurse Plants : A New Technique for Reforestation in Mediterranean Mountains

Common techniques currently used for afforestation in the Mediterranean basin consider the pre-existing vegetation (mainly shrubs) as a source of competition for trees, and consequently it is… (More)

Microhabitats shift rank in suitability for seedling establishment depending on habitat type and climate

1 Spatial patterns of seedling establishment have been shown to be largely affected by differences at the microhabitat scale. However, it is far from clear whether such differences are consistent… (More)

Thermal structure and dynamics of Saturn's northern springtime disturbance.

Leigh N. Fletcher, Brigette E Hesman, +16 authors Christophe Sotin
Science
2011

Saturn's slow seasonal evolution was disrupted in 2010-2011 by the eruption of a bright storm in its northern spring hemisphere. Thermal infrared spectroscopy showed that within a month, the… (More)

The Functional Consequences of Mutualistic Network Architecture

José Marı́a Gómez, Francisco Perfectti, Pedro Jordano
PloS one
2011

The architecture and properties of many complex networks play a significant role in the functioning of the systems they describe. Recently, complex network theory has been applied to ecological… (More)

Differences between structural and functional environmental heterogeneity caused by seed dispersal

1. This paper explores the idea that functional heterogeneity (variability of a system property affecting ecological processes) is only a fraction of the available structural heterogeneity… (More)

Use of ant-nest debris by darkling beetles and other arthropod species in an arid system in south Europe

Desert ecosystems are more complex than expected and, in this type of habitat, interspecific interactions can be an important force structuring the community. In this paper we described an… (More)

Effects of ungulates on epigeal arthropods in Sierra Nevada National Park (southeast Spain)

Adela González-Megias, José Marı́a Gómez, Francisco Sánchez-Piñero
Biodiversity & Conservation
2004

This paper examines the effect of ungulates on epigeal arthropod communities in two common plant communities of the high mountains of the Sierra Nevada (southeast Spain). We have compared the… (More)

SHADE AND HERBIVORY INDUCE FLUCTUATING ASYMMETRY IN A MEDITERRANEAN OAK

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), random nondirectional deviations from perfect symmetry, has been proposed as a useful indicator of environmental stress. Nevertheless, FA acts as a nonspecific indicator… (More)
