Colonization Pattern of Abandoned Croplands by Quercus pyrenaica in a Mediterranean Mountain Region

Land abandonment is a major global change driver in the Mediterranean region, where anthropic activity has played an important role in shaping landscape configuration. Understanding the woodland expansion towards abandoned croplands is critical to develop effective management strategies. In this study, we analyze the colonization pattern of abandoned croplands by Quercus pyrenaica in the Sierra Nevada mountain range (southern Spain). We aimed to assess differences among populations within the rear edge of the Q. pyrenaica distribution. For this purpose, we characterized (i) the colonization pattern of Q. pyrenaica, (ii) the structure of the seed source (surrounding forests), and (iii) the abundance of the main seed disperser (Eurasian jay, Garrulus glandarius). The study was conducted in five abandoned croplands located in two representative populations of Q. pyrenaica located on contrasting slopes. Vegetation plots within three habitat types (mature forest, edge-forest and abandoned cropland) were established to compute the abundance of oak juveniles. The abundance of European jay was determined using data of bird censuses (covering 7 years). Our results indicate that a natural recolonization of abandoned croplands by Q. pyrenaica is occurring in the rear edge of the distribution of this oak species. Oak juvenile abundance varied between study sites. Neither the surrounding-forest structure nor the abundance of jays varied significantly between study sites. The differences in the recolonization patterns seem to be related to differences in the previous- and post-abandonment management.LIFE-ADAPTAMED (LIFE14CCA/ES/000612) projectMIGRAME Project (Excellence Research Group Programme of the Andalusian Government (RNM 6734)eLTER H2020 projec

Quantitative and qualitative research: studies on cultural motivations and customs related to Latin American-influenced flamenco songs

Esta aportación se presenta como un nexo que vincula y da continuidad a las actividades de investigación relacionadas con diversos aspectos del comportamiento de consumo cultural universitario que se vienen realizando desde el Observatorio Cultural del Proyecto Atalaya. En concreto, los estudios revisados son los que se agrupan bajo la denominación genérica Proyecto USOS; así como, el que lleva por título Estudio cualitativo de motivaciones culturales de los estudiantes universitarios; que se encuentra actualmente en período de ejecución. Dada la complejidad inherente al comportamiento de consumo cultural y a las distintas facetas que pueden estar implicadas en el mismo, argumentamos en pro de la conveniencia de partir de metodologías cuantitativas y cualitativas que permitan enriquecer el conocimiento que se tiene del objeto de estudio

Efecto de la música agradable y no elegida en la Memoria de Trabajo y rendimiento académico bajo una tarea aritmética

En el presente documento se trata de estudiar el efecto que ejerce la música definida como agradable, aquella que es habitual y escuchen entre los intereses de los alumnos, y no elegida, en la memoria de trabajo y el rendimiento académico en una tarea o prueba de aritmética. En este sentido, se incluirá el análisis del juicio moral, relacionando la influencia de las funciones propias de la corteza prefrontal en actividades automáticas y de planificación como puede ser una tarea numérica, valorando elementos de desarrollo moral. Para realizar este estudio, se seleccionaron alumnos de Educación Primaria, específicamente de 5º curso. Los resultados indican que los alumnos, ante música de su elección reducen su atención y memoria de trabajo y, por tanto, su rendimiento académico.Universidad de Málaga.

Dataset of Phenology of Mediterranean high-mountain meadows flora (Sierra Nevada, Spain)

Sierra Nevada mountain range (southern Spain) hosts a high number of endemic plant species, being one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the Mediterranean basin. The high-mountain meadow ecosystems (borreguiles) harbour a large number of endemic and threatened plant species. In this data paper, we describe a dataset of the flora inhabiting this threatened ecosystem in this Mediterranean mountain. The dataset includes occurrence data for flora collected in those ecosystems in two periods: 1988–1990 and 2009–2013. A total of 11002 records of occurrences belonging to 19 orders, 28 families 52 genera were collected. 73 taxa were recorded with 29 threatened taxa. We also included data of cover-abundance and phenology attributes for the records. The dataset is included in the Sierra Nevada Global-Change Observatory (OBSNEV), a long-term research project designed to compile socio-ecological information on the major ecosystem types in order to identify the impacts of global change in this area.This research work was conducted in the collaborative framework of the “Sierra Nevada Global Change Observatory” Project funded by the Environment Department of Andalusian Regional Government and the Sierra Nevada National Park.

Sinfonevada: Dataset of Floristic diversity in Sierra Nevada forests (SE Spain)

The Sinfonevada database is a forest inventory that contains information on the forest ecosystem in the Sierra Nevada mountains (SE Spain). The Sinfonevada dataset contains more than 7,500 occurrence records belonging to 270 taxa (24 of these threatened) from floristic inventories of the Sinfonevada Forest inventory. Expert field workers collected the information. The whole dataset underwent a quality control by botanists with broad expertise in Sierra Nevada flora. This floristic inventory was created to gather useful information for the proper management of Pinus plantations in Sierra Nevada. This is the only dataset that shows a comprehensive view of the forest flora in Sierra Nevada. This is the reason why it is being used to assess the biodiversity in the very dense pine plantations on this massif. With this dataset, managers have improved their ability to decide where to apply forest treatments in order to avoid biodiversity loss. The dataset forms part of the Sierra Nevada Global Change Observatory (OBSNEV), a long-term research project designed to compile socio-ecological information on the major ecosystem types in order to identify the impacts of global change in this area.All the information contained in Sinfonevada was gathered by TRAGSA (Transformación Agraria S.A.), a public company funded by the Spanish Ministry of the Environment. The Sierra Nevada Global Change Observatory is funded by the Andalusian Regional Government (via Environmental Protection Agency) and by the Spanish Government (via “Fundación Biodiversidad”, which is a Public Foundation)
