Biogeographic ranges do not support niche theory in radiating Canary Island plant clades
Published 2016“…We took advantage of this natural experimental system to test whether the climatic niche relationships predicted by the two hypotheses are found. Location: Canary Islands. Methods: For the plant clades Aeonium, Argyranthemum, Descurainia, Echium, Lotus and Sonchus, separately, we tested relationships between phylogenetic distance and climatic niche differentiation (in temperature, precipitation and their combination), using a high-resolution dataset. …”

Old wine region, new concept and sustainable development: winery entrepreneurs' perceived benefits from wine tourism on Spain's Canary Islands
Published 2012“…This study builds upon existing research to investigate the perspective of small winery entrepreneurs on Spain’s Canary Islands. After years of planning and expectations concerning the potential of wine tourism, overall respondents indicate very little progress in wine tourism development. …”

Sex-specific responses of phenotypic diversity to environmental variation
Published 2016“…In this paper we test for sex-specific responses in how environmental variation generates phenotypic diversity within species, using the generalist lizard Gallotia galloti on Tenerife (Canary Islands). We evaluate two hypotheses: the first proposes that different environments have different phenotypic optima, leading to shifts in the positions of populations in morphospace between environments; the second posits that the strength of trait-filtering differs between environments, predicting changes in the volume of morphospace occupied by populations in different environments. …”

Alfonso de Cartagena on the affair of the Canaries (1436–37): humanist rhetoric and the idea of the nation-state in fifteenth–century Castile
Published 2013“…This paper examines the political and juridical theories expounded in Allegationes super conquesta insularum Canarie contra Portugalenses, a brief prepared in 1436 or 1437 by Alfonso de Cartagena, bishop of Burgos and Castilian legate to the Council of Basel, to present to Pope Eugenius IV the Castilian case for the colonization of the Canary Islands, and to refute Prince Henrique of Portugal’s claim to their conquest. …”

The spatial ecology of an endemic desert shrub
Published 2010“…The second part of the thesis presents a rigorous investigation, incorporating a priori inference and the application of fine-scale spatial statistical and modelling techniques, of the biotic and abiotic mechanisms underlying the spatial structure and population dynamics of S. supranubius, a leguminous shrub species endemic to the Canary Islands. The spatial structure of S. supranubius populations is consistent with the operation of clonal reproduction and intra-specific competition. …”

Abiotic factors structuring habitat use in angel sharks, Squatina squatina
Published 2017“…Similarly, data on S. squatina’s habitat associations were collected on SCUBA from visual census surveys at two sites in Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain), and analysed with T-tests. The online survey produced a number of key areas relating to S. squatina mating or breeding. …”

Distributions of Dissolved Manganese in the Surface Waters of the Tropical North-Eastern Atlantic Ocean
Published 2016“…Results suggest the land-sources of DMn near to the Canary Islands, the Cape Verde Islands and the African Continent contributed the major inputs of DMn, where high DMn concentrations were determined, with the highest is 3.87±0.05 nM. …”

Deception & manipulation: Argyrodinae spiders as parasites and hosts
Published 2022“…The species is commonly found in groups on the webs of other spiders across the Mediterranean, West Africa, Canary Islands and Seychelles. A. argyrodes has been observed scavenging, stealing food bundles, feeding alongside the host, eating host eggs and young and even attacking moulting hosts. …”

The economic interrelationships of tourism: a computable general equilibrium analysis
Published 2005“…Chapter 7 presents the results of the experiments of the dynamic CGE model for the Canary Islands. The core model is identical to that presented in Chapter 4, except that it is applied at a sub-national rather than a national level. …”
