Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.Identifying and quantifying global change impacts on biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems is critical to promote an effective adaptation that increases the success of conservation strategies. To achieve this goal, global and regional assessment efforts require certain degree of harmonization on local monitoring programs to establish relevant comparisons at different spatio-temporal scales. Otherwise, the lack of harmonization might hinder the detection and assessment on the effects of human impacts. In this work we have compiled information on freshwater monitoring programs located in areas of intensive research and conservation interest: International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) nodes and mountain National Parks. We aimed at evaluating the quality and robustness of these programs to assess the impact of global change, addressing from the worldwide to the European and Spanish national scale. Results highlighted that freshwater monitoring programs lack a common strategy to monitor these ecosystems. Even at the continental and national scales, contrasting strategies and level of detail have been historically applied. Water quality, habitat and biodiversity are more commonly monitored than community structure and ecosystem functioning. Monitoring efforts on the Spanish Mountain National parks indicated differences on the targeted aquatic ecosystems. Rivers and lakes received a higher attention, while mires were rarely considered. Our results provide evidence that greater efforts should be directed towards constructing a coordinated strategy to monitor freshwater ecosystems at national, continental, and global scales. This strategy should involve a shared backbone of biophysical and biogeochemical variables for each habitat type on agreed protocols that are implemented across regions and administrative borders. Achieving this will support a substantial advance on the ecological research to further delineate proper conservation strategies to face the challenges imposed by global change.European Commission LIFE18 NAT/ES/00012

Los tricópteros (Insecta) recolectados en las cuencas mediterráneas de la Península Ibérica: notas taxonómicas y requerimientos ecológicos

As a result of the GUADALMED project, undertaken in Iberian Mediterranean basins, to which were added samples taken by the junior author in the area, we collected numerous caddisfly larvae, pupae and adults. Some larvae were also reared in the lab to obtain adults and allow proper identification. A total of 90 species were identified, which accounts for more than a fourth of the species known in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Here we confirm the presence of doubtful species in the Iberian Peninsula (Glyphotaelius pellucidus) and we expand the distribution range of others (Lype reducta, Micrasema minimum, Limnephilus guadarramicus, Sericostoma pyrenaicum). Moreover, because of the unconformity of morphological larval characteristics with present taxonomical keys (Mesophylax aspersus) or lack of larvae descriptions (Allogamus mortoni, Stenophylax espanioli), here we include some relevant taxonomical aspects that are useful to identify larvae. A brief description of the larva of a possible new species of Hydropsyche (from now on H. gr. instabilis) is also given.Como resultado de los estudios realizados en el proyecto GUADALMED en las cuencas de los ríos mediterráneos peninsulares y otros muestreos realizados por la primera autora del trabajo se han recolectado numerosas larvas, pupas y adultos de tricópteros. Algunas larvas fueron criadas en el laboratorio para la obtención de adultos y con ello asegurar su identificación. Se han identificado un total de 90 especies que suponen más de una cuarta parte de las especies actualmente conocidas en la Península Ibérica y Baleares. En este trabajo se confirma la presencia, hasta ahora dudosa en la Península Ibérica, de algunas especies (Glyphotaelius pellucidus) y se amplia el área de distribución de otras (Lype reducta, Micrasema minimum, Limnephilus guadarramicus, Sericostoma pyrenaicum). Además, se incluyen algunos aspectos taxonómicos relevantes para la identificación de algunas larvas en futuros estudios, debido a que las claves ya existentes no describen correctamente la larva (Mesophylax aspersus) o porque se trata de larvas sin describir (Allogamus mortoni, Stenophylax espanioli). Se añade también una somera descripción de la larva de una posible nueva especie de Hydropsyche (citada aquí como H. gr. instabilis) y que requiere un estudio más detallado

The Virtual Museum of Zoology of the University of Granada and the acquisition of practical knowledge by students

Durante los cursos académicos 2008-2012, en el Departamento de Zoología de la Universidad de Granada (UGR), se implantó una nueva herramienta didáctica: se llevó a cabo la creación de un Museo Virtual de Zoología, que consistió en la digitalización del material para prácticas ya existente en el citado Departamento, perteneciente a una colección histórica de animales naturalizados y conservados. El material digitalizado incluyó tanto imágenes de animales de la colección, como al natural, así como información básica de los mismos (p. ej.: encuadre taxonómico, hábitats y modos de vida). Esta información se puso a disposición de los alumnos de las asignaturas de Zoología, tanto de Ciencias Ambientales como de Biología, a través de una página Web gratuita. Este museo complementa la colección de animales existente previamente en el Departamento, y que también está a disposición de los alumnos para su consulta. Para conocer la efectividad de esta nueva herramienta, hemos encuestado al profesorado de varias universidades españolas y al alumnado de la Universidad de Granada sobre el grado de utilización e idoneidad del museo, y comparado los porcentajes de alumnos presentados al examen de prácticas y resultados de las notas entre el último curso sin museo (2008-2009) y el primero que lo tuvo a su disposición (2011-2012). Presentamos los resultados en este estudio. El Museo Virtual de Zoología es gratuito y está disposición de cualquier Centro/personal docente que quiera hacer uso del mismo, además del público en general. Ponemos de manifiesto la importancia de la creación de herramientas virtuales de este tipo para la mejora de la docencia práctica en las asignaturas sobre Historia Natural de los seres vivos.The Department of Zoology of the University of Granada (UGR) introduced a new educational tool between 2008-2012: the Virtual Museum of Zoology. This tool was created mainly with the digitalization of the historical collection of naturalized and preserved animals of the department. The tool also included images of animals in their natural habitats and basic information (e.g. taxonomical classification, habitat and feeding habits). This information was included in a free webpage for its use by the students of Zoology of Environmental Sciences and Biology Degrees. To evaluate the effectiveness of this new tool, we poll for the opinion of Zoology teachers of Spanish universities and for the level of utilization and suitability of the museum by Zoology students of the University of Granada. In addition, we compared the percentage of students presented to the tests and their results between the previous and subsequent year to the introduction of this tool. We present these results in this study. The Virtual Museum of Zoology is free to use by any student, teacher or institution. We highlight the importance of these virtual tools for the improvement of Natural History practical teaching

Contribución al conocimiento de los tricópteros (Insecta: Trichoptera) de Andalucía

Based on a comprehensive literature review and new data in this study it states that the number of species of caddisflies registered in Andalusia amounts to 136, included in 53 genera and 17 families. This number accounts for around 38% of the species recorded in the Iberian Peninsula. Catagapetus mclachlani and Oxyethira falcata are new records for Andalusia, as well as Beraea genera. Moreover, the presence of Stenophylax permistus has been confirmed. Besides a new species of Hydropsyche, another of Helicopsyche, and a possible new species of Agapetus are recorded. The most abundant families are Hydroptilidade (18%), Limnephilidae (17%), Leptoceridae (13%) and Hydropsychidae (13%). This update lists 86 new provincial records, significantly improving the inventory of the provinces of Granada, Jaén, Málaga and Seville. The caddisflies in the provinces of Huelva and Almería are barely known, especially the first. The biogeographical study conducted among the eight geographical units shows three distinct domains: Sierra Morena, Betic system and the Guadalquivir River Valley. However, the fauna of the Serranía de Ronda and Campo de Gibraltar seems to depart from this model, showing greater similarity to the Sierra Morena. The Andalusian fauna of caddisflies is mainly composed of elements of European origin (over 50%) and endemism (42%), of which 60% are unique to Andalusia. These data show that, within the Iberian Peninsula, this region stands out as an important area of refuge and speciation center for caddisflies.A partir de una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica y de nuevos datos aportados en este estudio se establece que el número de especies de tricópteros registradas en Andalucía asciende a 136, incluidas en 53 géneros y 17 familias. Este número equivale aproximadamente al 38% de las especies presentes en la península ibérica. Catagapetus mclachlani y Oxyethira falcata constituyen nuevas citas para Andalucía, así como el género Beraea. Se confirma asimismo la presencia de Stenophylax permistus. Además se menciona una nueva especie de Hydropsyche, otra de Helicopsyche y una probable nueva especie del género Agapetus. Las familias mejor representadas son Hydroptilidade (18%), Limnephilidae (17%), Leptoceridae (13%) e Hydropsychidae (13%). Con esta actualización se han registrado 86 nuevas citas provinciales, mejorando sensiblemente los inventarios de las provincias de Granada, Jaén, Málaga y Sevilla. Los tricópteros de las provincias de Almería y especialmente los de Huelva, permanecen sin embargo muy poco estudiados. El estudio biogeográfico llevado a cabo entre las ocho unidades geográficas propuestas muestra tres grandes dominios diferenciados: Sierra Morena, el Sistema Bético y la depresión del Guadalquivir. Contrariamente a lo que se podría pensar, la tricopterofauna de las sierras Béticas húmedas (Serranía de Ronda y Campo de Gibraltar) parece mostrar una mayor similitud con la de Sierra Morena. La fauna de tricópteros andaluza está formada mayoritariamente por componentes de origen europeo (más del 50%) y endemismos (42%), de los que un 60% son exclusivos de Andalucía. Estos datos muestran que, dentro de la península ibérica, esta región destaca como una zona importante de refugio y centro de especiación para los tricópteros

Vulnerability to climate change for two endemic high-elevation, low-dispersive Annitella species (Trichoptera) in Sierra Nevada, the southernmost high mountain in Europe

This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Múrria, C., Sáinz-Bariáin, M., Vogler, A.P., Viza, A., González, M. and Zamora-Muñoz, C. (2020), Vulnerability to climate change for two endemic high-elevation, low-dispersive Annitella species (Trichoptera) in Sierra Nevada, the southernmost high mountain in Europe.

High-elevation stream insects without extensive dispersal are expected to be highly vulnerable if they are unable to track predicted shifts. Understanding dispersal is therefore crucial to implement practical solutions in conservation. The evolutionary history of the Palaearctic genus Annitella (Trichoptera), the population dynamics and habitat distribution (present and future) of two endemic species (A. esparraguera and A. iglesiasi) confined to Baetic Mountains (SE-Iberian Peninsula) were assessed to gain fundamental insights into species responses to climate warming and to identify populations at risk. Diversification of Annitella was dated to the Pleistocene and was likely associated with southern and extra-Mediterranean refugia located across Europe. The two endemic species belong to distant lineages that preferred similar cold headwater pristine habitats. The range of A. esparraguera was larger than that of A. iglesiasi. Both species showed low genetic diversity in cox1, but only A. esparraguera exhibit locally unique haplotypes, indicating limited gene flow. For A. esparraguera, modelled future habitat suitability showed 88.4% range contraction by 2050 (RCP scenario 8.5) and a displacement of 41.5% of the current potential distribution to higher elevations. Populations of A. esparraguera are predicted to be lost because of the reduction of optimal habitat and limited propensity for tracking future suitable conditions. Beyond the preservation of their current habitat, their conservation might require proactive measures (translocations). Similar predictions may apply to other Mediterranean endemic headwater specialist restricted to isolated high-elevation streams.This research received support from the project ref. 039/2007 funded by the Organismo Autónomo de Parques Nacionales of the Spanish Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente, and by the project of the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación CGL2007- 61856/BOS.

Differences in expression profiling and biomarkers between histological colorectal carcinomas subsets from the serrated pathway.

Histological subtypes of colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) arising from the serrated route, such as serrated adenocarcinoma (SAC) and CRC showing histological and molecular features of microsatellite instability (hmMSI-H), share common features (female gender, right-sided location, mucinous histology and altered CpG methylation) but dramatically differ in terms of prognosis, development of immune response and treatment options. Despite this, to date no expression profiling comparison has been carried out for finding out functions and molecules responsible for such differences. METHODS AND RESULTS: Molecular signatures of SAC and hmMSI-H were obtained by transcriptomic array; qPCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to validate differentially expressed genes. An over-representation of innate immunity functions (granulomonocytic recruitment, chemokine production, TLR signaling, antigen processing and presentation) were obtained from this comparison and ICAM1 was more expressed in hmMSI-H whereas two genes (CRCP and CXCL14) were more expressed in SAC. These array results were subsequently validated by qPCR, and CXCL14 and ICAM1 by IHC. Information retrieved from public databanks confirmed our findings. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight specific functions and genes which provide a better understanding of the role of the immune response in the serrated pathological route and may be of help in identifying actionable molecules.
