In particular, at Cala Millor and Son Bou beaches, two AWACs have been installed near-shore at 17 m depth, both being equipped with a temperature sensor, measuring hourly near-bottom water temperatures. This dataset contains the two monitoring site time series from 2012 to 2020., Funders: Ministerio de ciencia, innovación y universidades (https://www.ciencia.gob.es/), Govern de les Illes Balears (https://www.caib.es/)., Peer reviewed

These datasets include processed data to run the analyses needed to (1) estimate the risk of bear damage to apiaries in the Eastern Polish Carpathians at different spatial scales; (2) calculate scale-integrated risk maps; (3) assess the relationship of the predicted probabilities of damage between scales. The raw data was compiled from the official databases of the organization responsible for damage compensation in the study area and from different online sources. Along with the data we provide METADATA files with the information about each variable present in each dataset. We also provided the analysis code (R script) used to generate statistics and some of the figures. For references and details about data processing, and analysis we refer to the original publication and its Electronic Supplementary Materials., Human encroachment into natural habitats is typically followed by conflicts derived from wildlife damages to agriculture and livestock. Spatial risk modelling is a useful tool to gain understanding of wildlife damage and mitigate conflicts. Although resource selection is a hierarchical process operating at multiple scales, risk models usually fail to address more than one scale, which can result in the misidentification of the underlying processes. Here, we addressed the multi-scale nature of wildlife damage occurrence by considering ecological and management correlates interacting from household to landscape scales. We studied brown bear (Ursus arctos) damage to apiaries in the North-eastern Carpathians as our model system. Using generalized additive models, we found that brown bear tendency to avoid humans and the habitat preferences of bears and beekeepers determine the risk of bear damage at multiple scales. Damage risk at fine scales increased when the broad landscape context also favoured damages. Furthermore, integrated-scale risk maps resulted in more accurate predictions than single-scale models. Our results suggest that principles of resource selection by animals can be used to understand the occurrence of damages and help mitigate conflicts in a proactive and preventive manner., National Science Center: UMO-2013/08/M/NZ9/00469, National Science Center: UMO-2017/25/ N/NZ8/02861, Ministerio de Asuntos Económicos y Transformación Digital: CGL2017-83045-R AEI/FEDER EU, Peer reviewed

Tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium bovis is rarely reported in alpacas and other South American camelids (SACs) in South America. In contrast, SACs show a high susceptibility when reared in other parts of the world, suggesting that different environmental, climatic and rearing conditions along with the associated stress may lead to an increased disease transmission in these species.1 In particular, SACs might act as reservoir host of the disease and infected SACs might pose a risk of M. bovis transmission to other species including humans.1 Taking these aspects into account, we believe there is a need for more extensive and systematic studies of the pathology of M. bovis in SACs. Given these considerations, veterinary practitioners dealing with alpacas (or SACs) should be aware of the clinic-pathological presentations of tuberculosis. The clinical signs are variable and non-specific, and may include malaise, ill-thrift and respiratory signs. Post-mortem lesions are predominantly found in the lungs and associated lymph nodes, but can also be found in other tissues including the liver, kidney and other lymph nodes.2 Typically, multiple randomly distributed nodules with necro-suppurative cavitations are detected in the pleura and pulmonary parenchyma.1, 2 As in the present case, these lesions may also affect the pericardium and the thoracic wall and are usually accompanied by a marked lymphadenomegaly (Figure 1). Histopathological evaluation reveals areas of necrosis surrounded by a fibro-histiocytic response. However, typical multinucleated giant cell response and dystrophic mineralisation are not common histological features (Figure 2). Generally, there are several intralesional bacilli (Figure 3). In the present case, M. bovis was isolated and identified by standard bacteriological techniques., Peer reviewed

Cover Picture., A trigon structure formed by submonolayer gadolinium deposition onto Au(111) is revealed as a robust growth template for cobalt nanodot arrays by Frederik Schiller and co-workers in article 1600187. The cobalt nanoislands behave as independent magnetic entities with an out-of-plane easy axis of anisotropy and enhanced magnetic anisotropy values, as compared to other self-organized cobalt nanodot superlattices., Peer reviewed

[EN] This Collection of Botanical Iconography of the 18th century is the most relevant of the Flora of Colombia, and one of the best in the world, both from a scientific and artistic point of view. These are the original drawings made by the artists of the Expedition of the Royal Botanic Expedition of the New Kingdom of Granada, under the direction of José Celestino Mutis. During thirty years, the expeditionaries collected specimens in the territories of Colombia and Ecuador, which were illustrated by the artists. As a result this collection has reached our days, and has been admired by scientists like Carlos Linnaeus and Alexander von Humboldt. Since 2002, it has been recognized by the UNESCO as Memory of the World Register for Latin America and the Caribbean (MOWLAC).The data set includes information belonging to 5,796 records from a total of 7,167, including the scientific name, as well as subsequent identifications and revisions made by the specialists of the "Flora of the New Kingdom of Granada". This work is divided in various volumes in publishing process since 1952 thanks to an agreement between the Spanish and Colombian governments., [ES] Esta colección de iconografía botánica del siglo XVIII es la más relevante para la flora de Colombia, pero también una de las mejores del mundo, tanto desde el punto de vista científico como artístico. Se trata de los dibujos originales realizados por los artistas de la Real Expedición Botánica del Nuevo Reino de Granada, bajo la dirección de José Celestino Mutis. Durante treinta años los expedicionarios recolectaron especímenes en los territorios de Colombia y Ecuador, que fueron ilustrados por los artistas. El resultado fue esta colección, ya en su momento admirada por científicos de la talla de Carlos Linneo y Alexander von Humboldt. Desde el año 2002, tiene el reconocimiento del Registro de Memoria del Mundo de la UNESCO para América Latina y el Caribe (MOWLAC). El conjunto de datos que se ofrece incluye información de 5.796 registros de un total de 7.167, incluyendo el nombre científico y las identificaciones y revisiones posteriores, realizadas por los especialistas de la “Flora del Nuevo Reino de Granada”, obra que se viene publicando desde 1952 gracias a un acuerdo entre los gobiernos de España y Colombia.

La liquenoteca general consta, aproximadamente, de unos 5.000 ejemplares ordenados alfabéticamente, a los que hay que añadir unas 700 muestras pendientes de intercalar, fruto de diversas donaciones como las exsiccatas de Suecia y material recolectado por P. Font Quer, Palau Ferrer, X. Llimona, etc.También se conservan las colecciones de Werner (3.200 muestras), las caliciales de Tibell (199 muestras) y las recolecciones de Llenas (300 muestras) y Longino Navás (135 muestras), procedentes estas dos últimas de la donación de la Real Academia de Ciencias y Artes de Barcelona al Instituto Botánico en 1925.Hay que indicar la existencia de colecciones de líquenes dentro de la sección de criptógamas de los herbarios históricos de la familia Salvador, Bernades, Ramon de Bolòs, Vayreda y Trèmols. También hay algunas muestras provenientes de América del Sur, seguramente enviadas a Llenas, y las exsiccatas de Lojka, enviadas al parecer a R. de Bolòs.En GBIF son consultables 3.913 líquenes de la colección general, 75 líquenes de la colección F.X. Bolòs, la totalidad de la colección de caliciales de Tibell (199 especímenes, 13 de ellos son tipos descritos por Tibell o Titov), 1984 líquenes (entre ellos 257 tipos) de la colección de Werner y 324 líquenes de la colección Llenas.
