Extinction trends of threatened invertebrates in peninsular Spain

Using information from two recently published atlases of threatened invertebrate species in peninsular Spain, we examined the climatic, land use and geographic characteristics of the 100 km2 UTM cells with most likelihood of suffering extinctions (extinction cells), as well as the attributes of the species prone to population extinctions. Extinction cells have had significantly (1) lower precipitation values, (2) higher temperatures, (3) higher percentages of anthropic land uses or (4) higher rates of anthropization during the last 20 years than the remaining cells. Nevertheless, probable extinctions may occur under a wide range of climatic and anthropization change rates and these variables can only explain a low proportion (~5 %) of variability in the occurrence or number of extinction cells. Aquatic species seem to suffer higher local extinction rates than terrestrial species. Interestingly, many invertebrate species with approximately 25 or less occurrence cells are on a clear trajectory towards extinction. These results outline the difficulties and uncertainties in relating probable population extinctions with climatic and land use changes in the case of invertebrate data. However, they also suggest that a third of the considered Spanish threatened species could have lost some of their populations, and that current conservation efforts are insufficient to reverse this tendency.

Cerámica, espacio doméstico y vida social: el temprano al-Andalus en el sudeste peninsular a la luz de El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete)

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la cerámica emiral como indicador material de las formas de vida social. Para ello, hemos basado nuestro trabajo en el estudio de los espacios domésticos. Se contrastan dos aspectos: el conocimiento preciso de los conjuntos materiales emirales en el SE de al-Andalus, y la lectura contextual (social antes que morfológica) de diversos conjuntos materiales procedentes de espacios domésticos bien documentados arqueológicamente en el barrio emiral de El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete). El número de objetos completos y su variedad funcional permite comprender el espacio doméstico y proponer pautas de comensalía y vida social.
