The Canary Islands have become a model region for evolutionary studies. We obtained 1.8 Kbp of mtDNA sequence from all known island forms of the endemic lizard genus Gallotia and from its sister taxon Psammodromus in order to reanalyze phylogenetic relationships within the archipelago, estimate lineage divergence times, and reconstruct the colonization history of this group. Well-supported phyl...

The present study is the first evidence-based about ingestion of plastic and microplastics in jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca North Atlantic Ocean. A bloom this organism was collected from Gran Canaria Island coast. It digested using KOH to quantify particles by separating umbrella tentacles. About 97% organisms analysed showed presence microdebris. majority microfibers were with blue or uncorrecte...

Accommodation services oriented to different tourist segments usually have price determinants. Thus, in multi-facet destinations such as large regions or cities, it should be possible find and describe the underlying types of tourism destination by using a determinant analysis. In this paper, methodology based on stepwise geographically weighted regression (GWR) is developed, k-means clustering...

In this work, a mathematical computer simulation model is used to predict the possible energy generated from different Waves Energy Converters (WECs) in Canary Islands. The Monte Carlo Method proposed energy. Converter systems analyzed study were, Aqua Buoy, Wave Dragon and Pelamis converters. models were implemented validated, with dataset of Gran Canaria deep water buoy. This buoy belongs net...

An ecomuseum orients its conservation, formation and reproduction of identity patrimonial tasks based on the proximity to territory population area it serves. This entails a flexible management system that adapts contextual specificities this socio‑cultural geographical area, empowering local populations govern themselves in relation common project. study explores activation governance processe...

Background: One of the biggest challenges in avian taxonomy is the delimitation of allopatric species because their reproductive incompatibility cannot be directly studied in the wild. Instead, reproductive incompatibility has to be inferred from multiple, divergent character sets that indicate a low likelihood of allopatric populations amalgamating upon secondary contact. A set of quantitative...

Memoria del proyecto “Cuerpos y territorios sagrados en Gran Canaria” el que se intervinieron espacios arqueológicos, específicamente cuevas de las islas Canarias donde encuentran grabados aborígenes forma triángulos púbicos. Las acciones, realizadas por diez mujeres entre los 18 68 años, dieron como resultado un videoperformance lenguaje artes vivas mezcla con la naturaleza patrimonio cultural...

This study examines the role of North Atlantic storms degrading a Late Pleistocene rocky shoreline formed by basaltic rocks overlying hyaloclastite on small volcanic peninsula connected to Gran Canaria in central region Canary Archipelago. A conglomerate dominated large, ellipsoidal angular boulders eroded from an adjacent basalt flow was canvassed at six stations distributed along 800 m modern...
