    Efecto de la lombriz Hormogaster elisae Álvarez, 1977 sobre los microartrópodos edáficos de El Molar (Madrid)
    (2006) Gutiérrez López, Mónica; Díaz Cosín, Darío; Jesús Lidón, Juan B.
    En este trabajo se estudió el efecto de la lombriz de tierra Hormogaster elisae sobre la abundancia de distintos grupos de microartrópodos edáficos en diversos estudios realizados tanto en el campo como en el laboratorio. Para ello se realizaron, en primer lugar, varios experimentos de laboratorio en los cuales se observó un efecto claramente negativo de dicha lombriz sobre la abundancia y los movimientos de muchos de los grupos de microartrópodos estudiados. En la mayoría de los casos, se extrajeron más microartrópodos en los suelos sin lombrices, dándose diferencias estadísticamente significativas para los grupos más abundantes. Seguidamente se intentó respaldar estos resultados mediante los estudios en campo en condiciones más naturales. El muestreo en la parcela experimental de El Molar permitió observar que los microartrópodos eran más abundantes en aquellos puntos con ausencia de diversas especies de lombrices de tierra. La última parte del trabajo se centró en averiguar las posibles causas del efecto negativo de la lombriz sobre los microartrópodos en el laboratorio. Se estudiaron dos posibles mecanismos, la depredación y la competencia. Tras llevar a cabo una serie de observaciones del contenido digestivo y de las heces de la lombriz, se concluye que no es probable que se produzca depredación sobre los microartrópodos al menos de una forma activa. Para abordar la hipótesis de competencia se realizó una serie de experimentos tras los cuales se llegó a la conclusión de que estos dos grupos edáficos posiblemente compitan por algún tipo de recurso trófico situado en los tres primeros centímetros del perfil del suelo. Sin embargo, tampoco se descarta que pueda darse un efecto físico de tipo perturbador de la actividad de las lombrices sobre los microartrópodos.

    Earthworms are an important soil taxon as ecosystem engineers, providing a variety of crucial ecosystem functions and services. Little is known about their diversity and distribution at large spatial scales, despite the availability of considerable amounts of local-scale data. Earthworm diversity data, obtained from the primary literature or provided directly by authors, were collated with information on site locations, including coordinates, habitat cover, and soil properties. Datasets were required, at a minimum, to include abundance or biomass of earthworms at a site. Where possible, site-level species lists were included, as well as the abundance and biomass of individual species and ecological groups. This global dataset contains 10,840 sites, with 184 species, from 60 countries and all continents except Antarctica. The data were obtained from 182 published articles, published between 1973 and 2017, and 17 unpublished datasets. Amalgamating data into a single global database will assist researchers in investigating and answering a wide variety of pressing questions, for example, jointly assessing aboveground and belowground biodiversity distributions and drivers of biodiversity change.

    Soil functionality at the roadside: Zooming in on a microarthropod community in an anthropogenic soil
    (Ecological Engineering, 2013) Magro Ruiz, Sandra; Gutiérrez López, Mónica; Casado González, Miguel Ángel; Jiménez Escobar, María Dolores; Trigo Aza, María Dolores; Mola, Ignacio; Balaguer Núñez, Luis
    Earth movements for road construction give rise to nutrient-poor anthrosols. Early onset of soil processes in these environments has been reported on the basis of plant cover establishment. Evidences of full soil functionality, however, would reveal the emergence of a self-sustainable ecosystem on these manmade substrates. The aims of the present study involved (1) assessing soil functionality on six-year-old road embankments by means of the QBS index, based on microarthropod communities (2) elucidating soil properties responsible for the composition of soil microartrhopod communities, and (3) exploring the practical implications of soil quality for road embankment management. Road embankments were functional with QBS values comparable to those found in natural systems (>100). Soil quality in these environments depended on soil organic carbon dynamics. Among the 36 arthropod groups found, Acari and Collembola dominated the soil community. Variation in microarthropod community composition was best explained by higher abundances of Brachypilina (Oribatida, Acari) and Symphypleona (Collembola). These trends in soil community structure were intimately linked to soil organic carbon content, clay content and humidity. Given its relevance, the acknowledgment of the early functionality attained by these roadside anthrosols should lead to the revision of current protocols for roadslope monitoring and management.

    Horizontal Distribution of an Earthworm Community at El Molar, Madrid (Spain)
    (Pedobiologia, 2003) Hernández Gordo, Patricia; Gutiérrez López, Mónica; Ramajo Matesanz, Marta; Trigo Aza, María Dolores; Díaz Cosín, Darío J.
    The earthworm community in El Molar (Madrid) is studied, and its distribution patterns and relation with some soil factors are described by using geostatistic and multivariate tools. Six species were found, Hormogaster elisae, Allolobophora rosea and Allolobophora caliginosa being the three most abundant ones. These speciesexhibited a clumped distribution. The most dominant species, H. elisae, was distributed in patches of an average size of 45m in spring and more than 100m inautumn. A. rosea was aggregated in patches of an average size of 22m and A. caliginosa formed patches of an average size of 38 m. There seemed to be a positive correlation between the abundance of H. elisae and the percentage of total and coarse sands, as well as a negative correlation with clay, nitrogen, carbon and coarse loams contents, opposite to what was observed for A. rosea.

    Farmland is a major land cover type in Europe and Africa and provides habitat for numerous species. The severe decline in farmland biodiversity of the last decades has been attributed to changes in farming practices, and organic and low-input farming are assumed to mitigate detrimental effects of agricultural intensification on biodiversity. Since the farm enterprise is the primary unit of agricultural decision making, management-related effects at the field scale need to be assessed at the farm level. Therefore, in this study, data were collected on habitat characteristics, vascular plant, earthworm, spider, and bee communities and on the corresponding agricultural management in 237 farms in 13 European and two African regions. In 15 environmental and agricultural homogeneous regions, 6–20 farms with the same farm type (e.g., arable crops, grassland, or specific permanent crops) were selected. If available, an equal number of organic and non-organic farms were randomly selected. Alternatively, farms were sampled along a gradient of management intensity. For all selected farms, the entire farmed area was mapped, which resulted in total in the mapping of 11 338 units attributed to 194 standardized habitat types, provided together with additional descriptors. On each farm, one site per available habitat type was randomly selected for species diversity investigations. Species were sampled on 2115 sites and identified to the species level by expert taxonomists. Species lists and abundance estimates are provided for each site and sampling date (one date for plants and earthworms, three dates for spiders and bees). In addition, farmers provided information about their management practices in face-to-face interviews following a standardized questionnaire. Farm management indicators for each farm are available (e.g., nitrogen input, pesticide applications, or energy input). Analyses revealed a positive effect of unproductive areas and a negative effect of intensive management on biodiversity. Communities of the four taxonomic groups strongly differed in their response to habitat characteristics, agricultural management, and regional circumstances. The data has potential for further insights into interactions of farmland biodiversity and agricultural management at site, farm, and regional scale.

    Earthworm abundance response to conservation agriculture practices in organic arable farming under Mediterranean climate
    (Pedobiologia, 2018) Baldivieso Freitas, Paola; Blanco Moreno, José M.; Gutiérrez López, Mónica; Peigné, Joséphine; Pérez Ferrer, Alejandro; Trigo Aza, María Dolores; Sans, Francesc Xavier
    Earthworms are one of the most important soil macrofaunal groups, and they play a major role in agricultural ecosystems. Agricultural practices, such as reduced tillage, the use of green manures and organic fertilization, can be beneficial for earthworm populations in agricultural systems. However, under a Mediterranean climate, not much is known regarding their response to agricultural management. The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of tillage type, organic fertilization, and green manures on the density and biomass of earthworms in organic arable dryland. The trial was conducted in a four-year crop rotation with a complete factorial design that combined tillage system (mouldboard ploughing vs. chisel), fertilization (composted farmyard manure vs. no fertilizer) and green manures (green manures vs. no green manures). Earthworms were assessed in each plot by the extraction of all individuals in three soil areas of 33 cm × 33 cm that were excavated to a depth of 25 cm. Only five earthworm species were found in this trial, and the earthworm community was dominated by such endogeic ecotypes as Aporrectodea roseaand Allolobophora georgii, and the anecic ecotype Aporrectodea trapezoides.Endogeic species can benefit from soil inversion because of the incorporation of organic matter, but the anecic ones can be negatively affected by it. The results show that plots with farmyard manure had higher density and biomass of earthworms. We observed that the type of tillage significantly affected earthworm populations: plots that had been ploughed with mouldboard ploughing (soil inversion) the year prior to sampling presented more juveniles. The biomass of earthworms was significantly lower in plots with green manures and chiselling. Our results indicated that the combination of chiselling and green manures were not optimal for earthworm populations, but organic fertilization played a considerably more important role and enhanced their abundances.

    Distribution of the alien bivalve Xenostrobus securis (Lamarck, 1819) in the coast of Bizkaia (northern Iberian Peninsula)
    (Continental Shelf Research, 2023) Sanz-Latorre, Markel; Soto, Manu; Diaz de Cerio, Oihane; Valenciano, Irune; Gutiérrez López, Mónica; Izagirre, Urtzi; Gutiérrez López, Mónica; Elsevier
    The present work provides new information about the distribution of the invasive bivalve Xenostrobus securis (Lamarck, 1819) in the coast of Bizkaia (Bay of Biscay), including the first report of its presence at the estuaries of Barbadun, Butroe, Oka, Lea and Artibai. The knowledge of its distribution at the estuary of Nerbioi, where the species had been previously reported, is also expanded. Field observations were contrasted by molecular identification (MiniCOI gene; Glu-5’) of several individuals collected in every estuary. Present results prove that X. securis has the potential to carry out a successful colonization of a Basque estuary, with the ability to reach a very wide distribution. The ecological implications of this invasion and the affections to the ecosystems of the Bay of Biscay deserve further investigations.
