Abstract Surpassing the national perspective usually adopted, the authors confirmed the existence of a pattern of population distribution common to the whole Iberian Peninsula in the long run. This pattern is clearly associated with geographical factors. These variables seem to have more weight in explaining changes between 1877/78 and 1940 than in the period from 1940 to 2001. The observation of the cross-border region has shown that proximity to the frontier has not generated any distinct…

The East-West Gradient in Spatial Population Development Within Germany
Abstract. Since Germany's unification in 1990, the former communist eastern part has experienced substantial out-migration toward western Germany. This article explores whether this is predominantly…
Fine-scale population structure in five rural populations from the Spanish Eastern Pyrenees using high-coverage whole-genome sequence data
TLDR
The genome of 30 individuals sequenced at 40× from five different valleys in the Spanish Eastern Pyrenees is analyzed and haplotype-based methods and spatial analyses are used to detect micro-population substructure within SEP not seen in previous studies, suggesting that each rural population of thePyrenees could represent a unique entity.
An annual estimate of spatially disaggregated populations: Spain, 1900–2011
Long-term population estimates are usually based on decennial (or roughly decennial), census-type data, especially those that go beyond the aggregate or national level. The lack of annual population…

Geographic Information Systems and Historical Research: An Appraisal
TLDR
It is argued that although the application of this tool in historical research represented an important innovation, GIS did not bring about a revolution in knowledge production in history and should be put, not on the technology, but on the historical problems.
Humans take control of fire-driven diversity changes in Mediterranean Iberia’s vegetation during the mid–late Holocene
Fire regime changes are considered a major threat to future biodiversity in the Mediterranean Basin. Such predictions remain uncertain, given that fire regime changes and their ecological impacts…

From locational fundamentals to increasing returns: the spatial concentration of population in Spain, 1787–2000
TLDR
The results suggest that locational fundamentals explain the distribution of population prior to industrialization and that industrialization reinforced the pre-existing regional population disparities, especially as the share of increasing-returns sectors in the Spanish economy became significant.
