Phylogeography of pipistrelle-like bats within the Canary Islands, based on mtDNA sequences.
Evolution of three Canary Island Vespertilionid bat species, Pipistrellus kuhlii, Pipistrellus maderensis, and Hypsugo savii was studied by comparison of approximately 1 kbp of mtDNA (from cytochrome b and 16S rRNA genes) between islands. mtDNA reveals that both P. kuhlii and P. maderensis exist in sympatry on Tenerife (and possibly other islands). Their morphological similarity explains why th...
متن کاملNannofossils in 2011 El Hierro eruptive products reinstate plume model for Canary Islands
The origin and life cycle of ocean islands have been debated since the early days of Geology. In the case of the Canary archipelago, its proximity to the Atlas orogen led to initial fracture-controlled models for island genesis, while later workers cited a Miocene-Quaternary east-west age-progression to support an underlying mantle-plume. The recent discovery of submarine Cretaceous volcanic ro...
متن کاملSignificant discharge of CO2 from hydrothermalism associated with the submarine volcano of El Hierro Island
The residual hydrothermalism associated with submarine volcanoes, following an eruption event, plays an important role in the supply of CO2 to the ocean. The emitted CO2 increases the acidity of seawater. The submarine volcano of El Hierro, in its degasification stage, provided an excellent opportunity to study the effect of volcanic CO2 on the seawater carbonate system, the global carbon flux,...
متن کاملThe submarine volcano eruption at the island of El Hierro: physical-chemical perturbation and biological response
On October 10 2011 an underwater eruption gave rise to a novel shallow submarine volcano south of the island of El Hierro, Canary Islands, Spain. During the eruption large quantities of mantle-derived gases, solutes and heat were released into the surrounding waters. In order to monitor the impact of the eruption on the marine ecosystem, periodic multidisciplinary cruises were carried out. Here...
متن کاملAdvanced SAR Interferometric Techniques for Monitoring Nonlinear Volcanic Deformation – Test Site El Hierro Island
SAR Interferometric (InSAR) techniques are widely applied for analyzing geophysical and tectonic deformations and for improving modeling techniques, with the benefits of surface deformation measurements covering areas from several to a hundred kilometers in size with a satisfactory accuracy (theoretically in the millimeter range). Nevertheless the accuracy and availability of deformation measur...
