Study region: The Guadalquivir Basin in Spain as a representative Mediterranean basin.Study focus: The aim of this study is to assess the adaptive capacity of Mediterranean basins to long periods of severe drought.To do so, a hydro-economic model has been developed that includes a spatial representation of the major economic uses of water and enabl

Cryptic species have been detected across Metazoa, and while no apparent morphological features distinguish them, it should not impede taxonomists from formal descriptions.We accepted this challenge for the jellyfish genus Aurelia, which has a long and confusing taxonomic history.We demonstrate that morphological variability in Aurelia medusae over

Three-dimensional organization of the Accessories genome is important for regulation of gene expression and maintenance of genomic stability.It also defines, and is defined by, contacts between different chromosomal loci.Interactions between loci positioned on different chromosomes, i.e."trans" interactions are one type of such contacts.Here, we de

Abstract Background Population-based registries implement the comprehensive collection of all disease events that occur in a well-characterized population within a certain time period and represent the preferred tools for disease monitoring at a population level.Main characteristics of a Population-based registry are to provide answers to defined r
