Twenty years of European mountain permafrost dynamics—the PACE legacy

Etzelmüller, Bernd ; Guglielmin, Mauro ; Hauck, Christian ; Hilbich, Christin ; Hoelzle, Martin ; Isaksen, Ketil ; Noetzli, Jeanette ; Oliva, Marc ; Ramos, Miguel

In: Environmental Research Letters, 2020, vol. 15, no. 10, p. 104070

This paper reviews and analyses the past 20 years of change and variability of European mountain permafrost in response to climate change based on time series of ground temperatures along a south–north transect of deep boreholes from Sierra Nevada in Spain (37°N) to Svalbard (78°N), established between 1998 and 2000 during the EU-funded PACE (Permafrost and Climate in Europe) project. In...

Effect of different loading conditions on running mechanics at different velocities

Carretero-Navarro, Germán ; Márquez, Gonzalo ; Cherubini, Doménico ; Taube, Wolfgang

In: European Journal of Sport Science, 2019, vol. 19, no. 5, p. 595–602

Weighted vests are widely used to improve running economy and performance. However, it is not well-studied how running mechanics are adapted to counteract the higher peak vertical ground reaction forces (Fpeak) while running with such a device. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of different loading conditions on running mechanics at different velocities. Thirteen...

Surround inhibition in the primary motor cortex is task-specifically modulated in non-professional musicians but not in healthy controls during real piano playing

Márquez, Gonzalo ; Keller, Martin ; Lundbye-Jensen, Jesper ; Taube, Wolfgang

In: Neuroscience, 2018, vol. 373, p. 106–112

Research has indicated that at the onset of a finger movement, unwanted contractions of adjacent muscles are prevented by inhibiting the cortical areas representing these muscles. This so-called surround inhibition (SI) seems relevant for the performance of selective finger movements but may not be necessary for tasks involving functional coupling between different finger muscles. Therefore,...

Peripheral and central fatigue after high intensity resistance circuit training

Márquez, Gonzalo ; Romero-Arenas, Salvador ; Marín-Pagán, Cristian ; Vera-Ibañez, Antonio ; Olmo, Miguel Fernández del ; Taube, Wolfgang

In: Muscle & Nerve, 2017, vol. 56, no. 1, p. 152–159

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of high intensity resistance circuit (HIRC) and traditional strength training (TST) on neuromuscular fatigue and metabolic responses.Methods: Twelve trained young subjects performed HIRC and TST in a counterbalanced order with 1 week rest in-between. The amount of workload and the inter-set time for each local muscle group...

Anatomical differentiation of isolated scales of amiiform fishes (Amiiformes, Actinopterygii) from the Early Cretaceous of Las Hoyas (Cuenca, Spain)

Martín-Abad, Hugo

In: Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2017, vol. 16, no. 3, p. 257–265

Les écailles des poissons amiiformes sont plus différentes les unes des autres que ce qu’on avait précédemment affirmé. L’anatomie des écailles des trois taxons d’amiiformes du Crétacé inférieur (Barrémien) de Las Hoyas (Cuenca, Espagne) est décrite en détail. Les différences observées permettent la répartition des écailles isolées de cette localité entre ces trois...

Dynamic modelling of the potential habitat loss of endangered species: the case of the Canarian houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuerteventurae)

Banos-González, Isabel ; Terrer, C. ; Martínez-Fernández, J. ; Esteve-Selma, M. A. ; Carrascal, L. M.

In: European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2016, vol. 62, no. 3, p. 263–275

In this work, we apply a dynamic modelling approach to analyse the habitat loss of the Canarian houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuerteventurae). This tool allows us to assess the effects of the socio-economic and environmental interactions on the factors threatening the habitat and to carry out a prospective analysis. The results show a potential habitat loss of around 13 % during the...

Irrigation Management Transfer and WUAs’ dynamics: evidence from the South-Kazakhstan province

Zinzani, Andrea

In: Environmental Earth Sciences, 2015, vol. 73, no. 2, p. 765–777

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, in Kazakhstan, as in the other Central Asian republics, significant changes in both the water and agricultural sectors have emerged; water management shifted from a purely technical issue to a sociopolitical and economic one leading to several institutional and organizational changes. To address this transitional context and its issues, since the 1990s...
