We determined the prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis (Nematoda, Filariidae) among 433 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in northeastern Spain, between 1990 and 1992. Forty-six (11%) of 433 foxes were infected; the intensity ranged from 1 to 36 (mean +/- SE; 4.39 +/- 0.92) nematodes per host. The prevalence of D. immitis was higher in foxes inhabiting riparian zones of the study area. This population has...

Farmland afforestation has been promoted in recent decades and is one of the main strategies included UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration to recover degraded areas. However, impacts plant diversity soil quality indicators are still not well-understood semiarid environments. In this study, we assessed relationships between (abundance, total richness, richness by functional groups, Shannon diversi...
