Female birds can influence offspring development by adjusting egg size or by a differential allocation of egg resources. Such maternal effects can be expected to be shaped by natural selection, given the costs connected to the allocation of maternal resources. Among egg components, yolk androgens play an important role in affecting offspring life-history traits. Despite their relevance for nestling development, factors accounting for the observed within- and between-clutch variation are still poorly known. By using a cross-sectional sampling approach, we tested the effect of female age, laying order and laying date on the deposition of yolk androstenedione (A4) and testosterone (T), since young and older females could maximize their fitness differently according to breeding conditions. We found a remarkable lack of differences in overall yolk androgen levels across different ages. However, comparing first-year with older females, our results showed that age did not influence yolk T levels at the beginning of the breeding season, whereas at the end first-year females transferred lower hormone levels than older females. Within clutches, both androgens increased across the laying sequence, suggesting that late nestlings benefit from an increased allocation that could compensate hatching asynchrony. However, when considering A4 we found that, whereas older females always increased A4 levels across the laying sequence, first-year females did not increase it at the end of the breeding season, thus increasing the likelihood of brood reduction when environmental conditions became hardest. These findings suggest that yolk A4 variation may be particularly important at the within-clutch scale, by providing females with a tool to modify nestling hierarchies., The project was funded by projects CGL2011-26318 to DG (Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad) and PGC2018-099596-B-I00 to LP-R (Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund -ERDF).

IBERSEIS is a 303 km long deep seismic reflection profile. The transect was recorded in 56 days (from May to July 2001) using a 400 channel SERCEL 388 and five 22 Ton Vibroseis trucks. The asymmetric split spread configuration changed along the profile according to the dips of outcropping structures. To achieve a high resolution at shallow levels and to image steep dips, a 35 m station spacing and a 70 m Vibration Point interval was used with a high fold (60 in average). A relatively long sweep (20 s) was chosen to increase the source energy rather than increasing the number of sweeps per Vibration Point.

This seismic profile samples three major tectonic terranes: the South Portuguese Zone, the Ossa-Morena Zone, and the Central Iberian Zone. These terranes show a distinctive seismic signature, as do the sutures separating them. Late strike-slip movements through crustal wedges are apparent in the seismic image and have strongly modified the geometry of sutures. The upper crust appears to be decoupled from the lower crust all along the seismic line, but some deformation has been accommodated at deeper levels. A sill-like structure is imaged in the middle crust as a 1–2 s thick and 175 km long high-amplitude conspicuous reflective band. It is interpreted as a great intrusion of mafic magma in a mid-crustal decollement. Taking into account surface geological data and the revealed crustal architecture, a tectonic evolution is proposed for SW Iberia which includes transpressional collision interacting during Early Carboniferous with a mantle plume. The Moho can be identified along the entire transect as subhorizontal and located at 10 to 11 s, indicating a 30–35 km average crustal thickness. Its seismic signature changes laterally, being very reflective beneath the South Portuguese Zone and the Central Iberian Zone, but discontinuous and diffuse below the Ossa Morena Zone., Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología-Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (CICYT-FEDER), 1FD1997-2179/RYEN1.-- Junta de Andalucía.-- ENRESA.-- Swedish Research Council.-- Instituto Geológico y Minero de España.-- Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology, BTE2000-0583-C02-01, BTE2000-3035-E, BTE2000-1490-C02-01, Peer reviewed

The wide-angle seismic reflection data set consists of two transects. Transect A coincides with the trace of the IBERSEIS deep seismic reflection profile and transect B is located farther to the SE. The explosive charge was located in a single 20 cm diameter, 50–60-m deep shothole. Explosive shots with charge sizes of 1000, 750 and 500 kg, where distributed along the transect, with the largest charges located at the edges of the profile. 650 digital seismic recorders (590 Texans and 60 3-component Refteks) from IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology) instrument pool where used. These instruments where placed along the 300-km transect A at a 400-m station spacing. For transect B, a denser trace spacing was used. To achieve this, shots were fired twice. The stations were firstly placed at 300–400 m spacing along transect B. Once the shots were fired, the stations were moved 150–200 m toward the north along the profile. All shots were then fired a second time, resulting in shot records with a 150–200 m trace spacing., The IBERSEIS wide-angle seismic reflection dataset consists of two NE-SW oriented transects acquired in the SW of the Iberian Massif. They crossed three major geological zones (South Portuguese Zone, Ossa-Morena Zone, and Central Iberian Zone), with their tectonic contacts and the Pyrite Belt being of greatest interest. The velocity models obtained by forward modeling show a complex crust, especially in the middle crust. The velocity models are the most detailed ones that have been produced in the area and contain a large amount of new features that are relevant to the understanding of the composition of the crust and upper mantle beneath the zone., Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, CGL2004-04623, CSD2006-00041.-- Generalitat de Catalunya.-- Junta de Andalucía.--, Peer reviewed

The ALCUDIA transect is a 230 km long, vertical incidence deep seismic reflection profile acquired in 2007. The acquisition parameters, 35 m station spacing, 70 m Vibration Point spacing resulted in a 60-90 fold high resolution seismic reflection image. A 20 s long Vibroseis sweep with frequencies between 8-80 Hz was recorded by a 400 station recording cable and 14 km long split spread configuration., ALCUDIA Normal Incidence (ALCUDIA-NI) is a NE-SW oriented vertical incidence deep seismic reflection transect in the SW of Spain that aimed to image the Variscan Iberian Massif. This transect sampled the Central Iberian Zone and was designed to be the northward continuation of the IBERSEIS-NI seismic profile. The processed image shows a weakly reflective upper crust, a thick, highly reflective and laminated lower crust, and a flat Moho located at 10 s TWTT (30 km depth). The transect can be divided into three segments with different structural styles in the lower crust. In the central segment, the lower crust is imaged by regular, horizontal and parallel reflectors, whereas in the northern and southern segments it displays oblique reflectors interpreted as an important thrust (north) and tectonic wedging involving the mantle (south). The ALCUDIA-NI shows that in an intracontinental orogenic crust, far from the suture zones, the upper and lower crust may react differently to shortening in different sectors, which is taken as evidence for decoupling. The interpreted structures, as deduced from surface geology and the seismic image, show that deformation was distributed homogeneously in the upper crust, whereas it was concentrated in wedge/thrust structures at specific sectors in the lower crust., Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, CGL2004-04623/BTE, CSD2006-00041.-- Ministerio de economía y competitividad, CGL2007-63101/BTE.-- Ministerio de economía y competitividad; Fondos Europeos de desarrollo regional (FEDER), CGL2011-24101.-- Junta de Castilla-La Mancha.--, Peer reviewed

Two land seismic profiles across the Betic Chain imaged the deep structure of the crust belonging to two different crustal domains. To the north, one profile samples the crust of the Variscan Iberian Massif that underlies the sedimentary cover of both the Guadalquivir foreland basin and the South Iberian crustal domain. A second profile crosses the Alpine metamorphic complexes of the Betics., Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología - CICYT.-- Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica - DGICYT.--, Peer reviewed
