“…Ongoing increases in forest cover across the Pyrenees threaten the existence of numerous grassland species and communities, including this highly appreciated butterfly and its host plant (Galop, Rius, Cugny, & Mazier, 2013;Metaili e & Paegelow, 2005). The butterfly in particular is suffering strong declines across the Pyrenees, as increased habitat fragmentation leaves most viable plant populations (>50 flowering individuals) without butterflies (Tessier, 2015).…”

Genetic costructure in a meta‐community under threat of habitat fragmentation

Habitat fragmentation increasingly threatens the services provided by natural communities and ecosystem worldwide. An understanding of the eco-evolutionary processes underlying fragmentation-compromised communities in natural settings is lacking, yet critical to realistic and sustainable conservation. Through integrating the multivariate genetic, biotic and abiotic facets of a natural community module experiencing various degrees of habitat fragmentation, we provide unique insights into the processes underlying community functioning in real, natural conditions. The focal community module comprises a parasitic butterfly of conservation concern and its two obligatory host species, a plant and an ant. We show that both historical dispersal and ongoing habitat fragmentation shape population genetic diversity of the butterfly Phengaris alcon and its most limited host species (the plant Gentiana pneumonanthe). Genetic structure of each species was strongly driven by geographical structure, altitude and landscape connectivity. Strikingly, however, was the strong degree of genetic costructure among the three species that could not be explained by the spatial variables under study. This finding suggests that factors other than spatial configuration, including co-evolutionary dynamics and shared dispersal pathways, cause parallel genetic structure among interacting species. While the exact contribution of co-evolution and shared dispersal routes on the genetic variation within and among communities deserves further attention, our findings demonstrate a considerable degree of genetic parallelism in natural meta-communities. The significant effect of landscape connectivity on the genetic diversity and structure of the butterfly also suggests that habitat fragmentation may threaten the functioning of the community module on the long run.

“…La ocupación de estos territorios fue temprana en el Suroeste de Europa, pues diferentes estudios arqueológicos y paleoambientales así lo muestran al menos desde los inicios del Holoceno (Galop, 1998;Ejarque et al, 2010;Gassiot et al, 2012;Catalán et al, 2013;Lozny, 2013;Gassiot et al, 2014;. Las montañas son áreas sensibles y vulnerables a los efectos del cambio climático, y a otros múlti-ples peligros que pueden verse incrementados o acelerados por éste; es decir, medios muy selectivos por las duras condiciones de vida y su posición marginal en términos de integración económica y toma de decisiones.…”

The knowledge about the evolution of the mountain areas is a very interesting issue from the palaeoenvironmental stand point, but also from the archaeological view in relation with human occupations. In this paper we analyze the composition and evolution of the vegetation of the peat bog of Sotombo, located in the vicinity of the Collados del Asón Natural Park (Cantabria) over the last 6000 years, through the study of pollens, spores and non-pollen palynomorphs, with the support of 8 AMS radiocarbon dates. The main results point the dominance of deciduous forests with pines between ca. 5926-2418 cal BP. From this moment is clearly evident the anthropogenic activities, in contemporary to the expansion of the beech forests. Subsequently (from ca. 596 cal BP) starts the development of mountain meadows, that dominate the current landscape.

Engaging Transformation: Using Seasonal Rounds to Anticipate Climate Change

et al. 2021

Seasonal rounds are deliberative articulations of a community’s sociocultural relations with their ecological system. The process of visualizing seasonal rounds informs transdisciplinary research. We present a methodological approach for communities of enquiry to engage communities of practice through context-specific sociocultural and ecological relations driven by seasonal change. We first discuss historical précis of the concept of seasonal rounds that we apply to assess the spatial and temporal communal migrations and then describe current international research among Indigenous and rural communities in North America and Central Asia by the creation of a common vocabulary through mutual respect for multiple ways of knowing, validation of co-generated knowledge, and insights into seasonal change. By investigating the relationship between specific biophysical indicators and livelihoods of local communities, we demonstrate that seasonal rounds are an inclusive and participatory methodology that brings together diverse Indigenous and rural voices to anticipate anthropogenic climate change.
