[ES]Se presentan algunos datos y resultados de la misión Challenger 1, expedición de un minisubmarino denominado Silbo que salió de Islandia el 23 de junio y llegó a Gran Canaria procedente de Azores en mayo de 2012. Esta misión es un proyecto para circunvalar todos los oceanos de la tierra mediante este vehículo submarino de 2 metros y aproximadamente 50 kilos de peso que sólo consumió medio litro de gasolina en este transecto y mediante el cual se obtienen datos del océano sobre salinidad, tempertauras, etc.

[EN] Groundwater chemistry in La Aldea aquifer (Gran Canaria, Canary Islands) shows high contents of chloride and nitrate ions. The salinization process has been modelled using the geochemical data, taking into account the results of a previous flow model. The results allow to identify the salinity of the recharge from the rainfall under aridity conditions and the irrigation returns like the main causes of the groundwater salinization.

[EN] Mediterranean Water eddies (meddies) are thought to play an important climatic role. Nevertheless, their dynamics are not sufficiently known because of difficulties encountered in their observation. Though propagating below the main thermocline, a number of pieces of evidence of sea surface manifestation of meddies are collected. The present work is based on joint in situ and altimetry data analyses to prove that the meddies can be followed with remote sensing data for long periods of time. The in situ observations are based on data from an oceanographic cruise, which crossed three meddies, and reanalysis of historical data sets, including RAFOS floats paths. Suggested methodology permitted us to obtain uninterrupted tracks for several meddies for a period from several months to more than 2 years. It was found that the dynamically calm region to the north of the Azores current presents favorable conditions for meddy tracking. The meddy surface signal may become shattered and difficult to follow during interaction with a strong dynamic structures (the Azores current/surface vortexes) or peaking topography. Theoretical considerations support the observations and lead to the conclusion that the dynamic signature of meddies at the sea surface is an intrinsic property of meddy dynamics

[EN]The Azorean barnacle, Megabalanus azoricus (Pilsbry, 1916), is a Macaronesian endemic whose obscure taxonomy and the unknown relationships among forms inhabiting isolated Northern Atlantic oceanic islands is investigated by means of molecular analysis herein. Mitochondrial data from the 16S rRNA and COX1 genes support its current species status, tropical ancestry, and the taxonomic homogeneity throughout its distribution range. In contrast, at the intraspecific level and based on control region sequences, we detected an overall low level of genetic diversity and three divergent lineages. The haplogroups α and γ were sampled in the Azores, Madeira, Canary, and Cabo Verde archipelagos; whereas haplogroup β was absent from Cabo Verde

[EN] After hatching, loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) enter in the sea and start the ocean phase of their lives, where juveniles inhabit pelagic feeding areas during 6-12 years. In the Atlantic Ocean, the central and the eastern feeding grounds harbor loggerhead juveniles from different nesting populations, constituting the designated mixed stocks. We studied the distribution of juveniles in the Eastern Atlantic comparing mtDNA sequences from canarian individuals with samples from Azores, Madeira and the Atlantic coast of Andalusia.

[ES] Teira dugesii es un lacértido endémico del archipiélago de Madeira, donde ocupa la isla principal, la de Porto Santo, Deserta Grande, Bugio y algunos islotes (Loureiro et al., 2008). También podría ser autóctono de las islas Selvagens (Brehm et al., 2003), y ha sido introducido en todas las islas habitadas de Azores y en el puerto de Lisboa (Sá Sousa, 1995; BDBA, 2008). En Canarias su presencia fue señalada a principios de siglo XX en La Orotava (Boulenger, 1920), donde pudo haber entrado desde el Puerto de la Cruz entre mercancías procedentes de Madeira. Sin embargo, la ausencia de nuevas citas en la isla de Tenerife determinó que la especie fuera finalmente considerada extinta en Canarias (Mateo et al., 2011).

[ES]El proyecto “Paleontología de la Macaronesia. Espacio Virtual (PAMEV)” –PEJ-2014-A-83608-, se sustenta en la musealización virtual y digitalización de las importantes colecciones paleontológicas de los archipiélagos de Azores, Madeira, Canarias y Cabo Verde del Laboratorio de Paleontología de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC). Entre todo el material fósil contenido en este proyecto cabe destacar el perteneciente a restos fósiles de diferentes cetáceos. Esto nos permitirá su estudio así como la evolución de los cetáceos en el Atlántico.
