Comparative analysis of Sierra de Gádor endemic flora

En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar el origen de la flora de la Sierra de Gádor, su grado de aislamiento y relaciones con los macizos de su entorno, así como destacar la importancia corológica de algunos táxones y estimar su grado de amenaza. Para ello utilizamos los elementos del Catálogo General de las Especies de Recomendada Protección en Andalucía presentes en Gádor que comparte esta sierra con las unidades corológicas circundantes, elaborando con los datos de presencia/ ausencia un dendrograma y un análisis MDS. También comparamos el grado de endemicidad de la Sierra de Gádor con respecto a estas mismas unidades.Comparative analysis of Sierra de Gádor endemic flora. The Gádor Sierra flora, its isolation levels and its relations with the sorrounding areas are analized in this work; moreover the corological importance of some taxons and an estimation of how their presence is threatened are highlighted. With this purpose those taxons included in the General Catalogue of Species of Recommended Protection in Andalucia present in the Gádor Sierra and adjacent corological units have been used developing with the presence/absence values, a dendrogram and MDS analysis. The degree of endemism in the Gádor Sierra is compared with the other corological units

Effects of agricultural use on endangered plant taxa in Spain

Agriculture is one of the most widespread human activities and has the greatest impact on terrestrial ecosystems, as it transforms natural ecosystems into artificial landscapes using, in many cases, large amounts of pesticides as well as overexploiting natural resources. Therefore, for effective biodiversity conservation, it is necessary to include agricultural systems in conservation programs. In this work, the 50 plant taxa described for Spain as threatened by agricultural use were selected. These were divided according to the type of threat into those affected by crop extension, intensification, or abandonment. In addition, information was obtained concerning their conservation status, level of protection and functional traits (life form, pollination, and dispersal). Finally, the evolution of land use, in the areas near the populations of the selected species, was identified. The selected taxa belong to 21 families and present different life forms and modes of dispersal or pollination. Forty-six percent are endangered (EN) and most are included in legal protection lists. Nearly three-quarters are threatened by crop expansion and land use dynamics, reflecting an expansion of cultivated areas, which adds further pressure to these species. In addition to agricultural expansion, taxa are also at risk, due to important rates of agricultural land abandonment, and mention agricultural intensification. Nevertheless, conservation measures do exist to promote biodiversity in agricultural landscapes that may help to reverse the negative effect of land use dynamics on selected species, but few are specific to threatened flora. Therefore, if threatened plants are to be conserved in agricultural areas, it is necessary to promote a profound transformation of our socioecological systems. One of these transformative changes could come from the human-nature reconnection

TIC y conductas de riesgo en primaria: prevención y promoción de la salud en la escuela

El objetivo de este proyecto de innovación educativa ha sido poner en marcha un plan de formación para dotar a los futuros maestros y maestras en Educación Primaria de las competencias necesarias para desarrollar su papel como agentes de prevención en la escuela, concretamente en las conductas de riesgo relacionadas con el uso de las TIC en la edad escolar. Para ello se han realizado un conjunto de actuaciones desde una perspectiva psicoeducativa que han promovido la reflexión en torno a los factores de riesgo y los hábitos saludables en el uso de las TIC durante la etapa de primaria (6-12 años).The main objective of the present educational innovation project was to develop a formative program in order to provide to the future teachers in primary education the required skills to act as prevention agents, specifically, in risk behaviors related with the use of ICT in school. To achieve this objective, a series of actions were carried out from a psychoeducational perspective to promote the reflection on the different risk factors and healthy habits in the use of ICT during the primary stage (6-12 years)
