Inbreeding Depression under Drought Stress in the Rare Endemic Echium wildpretii (Boraginaceae) on Tenerife, Canary Islands
How climate-change induced environmental stress may alter the effects of inbreeding in patchy populations of rare species is poorly understood. We investigated the fitness of progeny from experimental self- and cross-pollinations in eight populations of different size of Echium wildpretii, a rare endemic plant of the arid subalpine zone of the Canarian island of Tenerife. As control treatments ...
متن کاملZeolites in Pyroclastic Deposits in Southeastern Tenerife (canary Islands)
-The chemical and the mineralogical composition of a group of pumiceous tufts associated with recent salic volcanic episodes from Tenerife (Canary Islands) have been studied. The investigation focused on the two main types of pyroclastic deposits of the zone: ash-flows and ash-falls. The samples can be classified chemically as trachytic and phonolitic rocks with an intermediate silica content a...
متن کاملResults of tidal gravity observations in Tenerife, Canary Islands
c Tidal gravity observations have been carried out in Tenerife (Canary Islands) at the. base of the Teide volcano, more than two thousand meters above the sea level. The measurements have been done using a Lacoste&Romberg-G gravimeter (number 665), with electronic feedback during a period of six months. The results show, after a suitable correction of the ocean loading and attraction' effects, ...
متن کاملExtinction of endemic vertebrates on islands: The case of the giant rat Canariomys bravoi (Mammalia, Rodentia) on Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain)
Fossil bone collagen C dating and δC and δN isotopic measurements of the rodent Canariomys bravoi from Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) were used to test two different hypotheses about the causes of extinctions of endemic vertebrates on islands, climate versus humans. For the Tenerife giant rat, we show that it survived the climatic change that occurred between the Middle and Late Holocene, but...
متن کاملSeasonal diet of an insular endemic population of Southern Grey Shrike Lanius meridionalis koenigi on Tenerife, Canary Islands
The diet and prey selection of the Southern Grey Shrike (Lanius meridionalis koenigi) was studied in one of the scarce insular environments where it is present, the xeric coastal area of Tenerife (Canary Islands). The main aim of this study was to compare the general trophic patterns with respect to continental populations of Northern Grey Shrike (Lanius excubitor) and Southern Grey Shrike. The...
