Determining the effectiveness of conservation actions is a priority in conservation biology, especially in island ecosystems which can host large numbers of endemic and often threatened species. In this study, we have brought together a genetic, body condition and breeding success assessment with the aim of evaluating the viability of a newly founded population of the endangered Gran Canaria blue chaffinch (Fringilla polatzeki), the forest passerine species with the most restricted distribution in the Western Palearctic. The species occurs exclusively in the Canary pine forests (Pinus canariensis) of the island of Gran Canaria, with the Inagua nature reserve harbouring the highest number individuals. In 2010, a translocation program was initiated within the same island in the nearby pine forests of La Cumbre with the goal of establishing a viable breeding population. Genetic results revealed that La Cumbre shows genetic parameters (diversity, inbreeding, and relatedness) similar to the core source of Inagua, which contrasts with the reduced genetic diversity expected due to the small size of the newly founded population. The biometric and body condition results (wing and tarsus length, body mass, and length asymmetry of the tail feathers), together with the breeding success (nest survival and number of fledglings per successful breeding attempt), were also similar in both populations. Overall, these findings suggest that the translocation program has been successful and provide insights on the effectiveness of the actions performed. Our evaluation also delivers future avenues for the conservation planning in other upland forest endangered avian species inhabiting island ecosystems, especially those threatened by the effects of global warming.

The porcelain crab Porcellana africana was originally identified as a subspecies of Porcellana platycheles , a species widely distributed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. A study characterizing the recent invasion of P. africana in South Africa places doubts on the identification and previously reported distribution of populations of the two species of Porcellana , which could have implications for the conservation and management of the species. Here, we aimed to delineate the Porcellana species from the East Atlantic to gain a better understanding of their distribution, which will help in conservation decision-making. Molecular analyses based on two mitochondrial genes and a nuclear gene confirmed that P. africana is a well-defined species and that its distribution extends further north, including the Canary Islands. A time divergence estimation indicates the cladogenesis between P. platycheles and P. africana occurred during the Neogene, likely linked to drastic climatic and environmental changes that took place during the Pliocene. Both species are morphologically very close, but can be distinguished by the shape of the third thoracic sternite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El objetivo de este artículo es esclarecer las acciones y circunstancias presentes en los casos de escándalo en el señorío occidental canario del siglo XVIII desde un enfoque histórico-jurídico. Las fuentes primarias examinadas son los expedientes judiciales del Fondo Documental de la Casa Fuerte de Adeje, custodiado en el Archivo del Museo Canario (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) y que concierne a los enclaves del área tinerfeña de Adeje, las islas de La Gomera y El Hierro. Asimismo, se ha atendido a los postulados jurídicos y doctrinales de los juristas más difundidos en el archipiélago, en cuanto directrices para la administración judicial en la esfera local. Este trabajo incide en la consideración del escándalo como conducta que atentaba contra la normativización sexual establecida y alteraba el orden moral en el vecindario afectado. No en vano, los tratados pragmáticos, como la difundida Política para corregidores, contemplaban la disposición que las autoridades locales debían mostrar hacia la preservación de la tranquilidad en sus jurisdicciones, castigando las conductas deshonestas y notorias en la vecindad. En este sentido, las islas Canarias estaban circunscritas al modelo jurídico castellano, a la vez que se apreciaba en su práctica judicial la relevancia de la discrecionalidad. Al mismo tiempo, de la lectura de los autos se desprende la proyección de las circunstancias sociales y económicas en los comportamientos transgresores. En suma, el presente estudio pretende contribuir a los conocimientos actuales sobre el ejercicio de justicia en los territorios de señorío en la referida centuria.

This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the bell inventories from the islands of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, conducted over recent years. It primarily addresses the list of bell founders or craftsmen recorded, along with the chronology and origins of those pieces of significant heritage interest. It also explores aspects such as the ornamental motifs and the epigraphic legends or inscriptions commonly found on these instruments. Additionally, the paper suggests attributing some instruments to bell founders Juan Felipe de Rivas and Gaspar Antonio de Alvear, who were active during the 17th and 18th centuries.

In this article, Julio Antonio Yanes Mesa proposes a methodology to expand the contents of classic Spanish journalism stories to the entire national territory, including peripheral regions such as the Canary Islands. The author argues that this proposal enriches knowledge by considering people's experiences and reflecting the reality of different regions of Spain. The importance of considering the influences of both Europe and America on the communicative model of the Canary Islands is highlighted. In addition, the history of journalism in the Canary Islands and its treatment in various works is analyzed, as well as the British presence on the islands and the relationship with Latin America. The article also discusses the dynamics of journalism in the Canary Islands during different periods, such as the period from 1868 to 1874 and the Second Republic in Spain. Canarian newspapers that carried out their work with freedom and independence during the Second Republic are mentioned, and the financial autonomy of Canarian newspapers during that period is highlighted. The document provides a list of books and articles related to the history of journalism in Spain and the Canary Islands. In summary, the author proposes a methodology from the "periphery" of the Canary Islands to address the history of Spanish journalism and avoid the reductionism of stories developed from the "center".

Introduction: Sea urchin diseases have been documented in several locations worldwide, with reported occurrences of bacterial, protozoan, fungal, and algal infections. Objective: This study aimed to investigate pathogen agents in populations of Arbacia lixula and Paracentrotus lividus along the coast of Gran Canaria Island (Central-East Atlantic, Spain). Methods: Sampling was conducted at San Cristobal beach, on the Northeast side of the island, where sea urchins were manually collected from depths of 1-3 m during June, July, and October 2022. Swab samples were taken from the external and internal areas of the lesions and cultured on various media plates. Results: Eight different pathogen agents, including bacteria and fungi, were identified, with Vibrio alginolyticus being the most frequently observed bacteria in all diseased sea urchin samples. Additionally, ciliated protozoans were found within the tests, potentially acting as opportunistic parasites. Conclusions: This research provides a unique perspective on bald sea urchin disease by identifying a significant number of associated pathogens, including Candida, previously unreported in diseased organisms. Furthermore, the study highlights the presence of an inflammatory response in tissues with bacterial colonies, offering crucial insights into understanding this sea urchin disease.

The purpose of this article is to clarify the actions and circumstances that were present in the cases of scandal in the western Canarian manor in the 18th century from a legal historical approach. The primary sources examined are the judicial files of the Documentary section of the Casa Fuerte of Adeje (Adeje Strong House), kept in the Archive of the Canarian Museum (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria). These documents concern Adeje (island of Tenerife), the islands of La Gomera and El Hierro. Likewise, this paper takes into account the legal and doctrinal postulates of the most widespread jurists in the archipelago, as guidelines for judicial administration in the local sphere. This work highlights the consideration of scandal as a conduct that undermined the established sexual norms and altered the moral order in the affected neighborhood. Not surprisingly, pragmatic treaties, such as the widespread Política para corregidores, contemplated the disposition that local authorities should show towards the preservation of tranquility in their jurisdictions, punishing dishonest and notorious behaviors in the neighborhood. In his sense, the Canary Islands belonged to the Castilian legal model, while the relevance of discretion was appreciated in the judicial practice. At the same time, the reading of the records shows the projection of the social and economic circumstances in the transgressive behaviors. In summary, this study aims to contribute to current knowledge on the exercise of justice in the manorial territories in the aforementioned century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La expansión del SARS-CoV-2 originó una gran transformación en la movilidad a escala global y local, pues a la inmovilidad forzada se sumó la modificación de las pautas de desplazamiento cotidiano y de variación residencial. La estructura territorial tuvo un papel decisivo en ella, siendo fundamental la conformación insular en el caso de Canarias. Así, el objetivo general de esta investigación es la identificación del impacto diferenciado de la movilidad residencial durante la pandemia, para lo cual se utiliza la Estadística de variaciones residenciales (2019-2021) y una encuesta realizada entre el 26 de abril y el 21 de junio de 2022 con cuestiones relativas a los procesos migratorios, al cambio de vivienda y a la segunda vivienda. Los resultados obtenidos matizan las tendencias de movilidad que se apreciaron en otras áreas de la geografía española a consecuencia del propio carácter insular.

RESUMEN El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los rasgos significativos de los estudiantes de la Sección Universitaria de Canarias (1913-1927) a través de los documentos propios de la institución académica. En el contexto de la época fue complicado el establecimiento de la enseñanza superior en las Islas Canarias (España). Las aspiraciones de las élites isleñas de contar con estudios universitarios, tras diversas gestiones con la intermediación de políticos, periodistas y profesores del instituto de bachillerato, se lograron en 1913, aunque dependientes de la Universidad de Sevilla. Empleamos la metodología de análisis histórico recurriendo a fuentes primarias y secundarias. Esta investigación contribuye a desvelar las singularidades de los estudiantes en la implantación de los estudios universitarios en Canarias, y a enriquecer la microhistoria, a la vez que se aporta una línea de investigación poco explotada y que puede extrapolarse a otros entornos geográficos.

Como parte del estudio fitocorológico y eco-biológico realizado en La Gomera con las nueve especies, dos subespecies y dos variedades que componen los géneros Aeonium y Greenovia, fueron descubiertos siete híbridos nuevos, que se suman a los 10 híbridos anteriormente descritos por otros autores en la isla. Se aportan las descripciones botánicas completas en cinco de los nuevos híbridos descubiertos, y en los dos restantes, puesto que solo conocemos la parte vegetativa, se dan a conocer algunos datos corológicos, morfológicos y taxonómicos, y se ilustran fotográficamente las plantas. Se hace el diagnóstico diferencial de los nuevos híbridos con otros nototaxones descritos anteriormente en la isla, especialmente con los que compartían alguno de los parentales. Los tipos nomenclaturales fueron depositados en los herbarios canarios LPA y TFC.

Polyxenida es un orden pequeño de milpiés que usualmente se encuentran en el suelo, madera muerta, bajo cortezas de troncos muertos o de árboles y arbustos vivos, en hojarasca y debajo de rocas. Dado su pequeño tamaño y su naturaleza elusiva, se han estudiado poco, de modo que el conocimiento sobre la distribución, diversidad, biología e historia natural de las especies ibéricas, baleares y canarias es muy limitado. En este trabajo recopilamos todos los registros publicados y proporcionamos nuevas citas para las áreas mencionadas. También incluimos fotos en vivo de varias especies ibéricas previamente no fotografiadas. En las regiones de estudio se encuentran representantes de 3 familias, 5 géneros y al menos 10 especies. La familia Synxenidae incluye un solo representante, Phryssonotus platycephalus (Lucas, 1846), en la península Ibérica y en las islas Baleares. La diversidad es más alta para Polyxenidae, con una especie de amplia distribución, Polyxenus lagurus (Linnaeus, 1758), en Iberia y también Baleares, en donde podría haber otra especie del género no descrita; en las Canarias está presente otra especie de amplia distribución, P. fasciculatus Say, 1821, y el endemismo P. oromii Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin, 1996; el género Macroxenus Brolemann, 1917 está representado por M. rubromarginatus (Lucas, 1846) en Iberia, y M. enghoffi Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin, 1996, posiblemente endémica de las Canarias. Finalmente, en la familia Lophoproctidae, Lophoproctus jeanneli (Brolemann, 1910) se encuentra tanto en la península como en Baleares; L. lucidus (Chalande, 1888) es registrado por primera vez en la península ibérica y en la isla del Hierro; L. pagesi Condè, 1981 es endémico de cuevas de Mallorca, con una forma relacionada en cuevas de Portugal, L. cf. pagesi; Lophoproctinus inferus inferus (Silvestri, 1903) está presente con unos pocos registros en Mallorca y L. i. maurus Marquet & Condè, 1950 se encuentra en las Canarias. Nuestros nuevos registros junto con registros procedentes de iniciativas de ciencia ciudadana (iNaturalist), expanden notablemente el área de distribución conocida de varias especies de Polyxenida en la península Ibérica. Muchas de estas especies presentan patrones de distribución fragmentados, con registros aislados en diferentes áreas geográficas. Un estudio más intenso incluyendo muestreo exhaustivo y datos moleculares ayudará a entender mejor la naturaleza real de estos patrones de distribución.

These past decades have seen an emergence of studies on speech acts. Condolences, however, are among the least addressed out of them. Bibliography on this subject is scarce if compared to that of petitions, promises, offers, and so on, more so in Spanish, where papers on this subject are few and far between. This gap is especially notable in diachronic studies. This paper aims to offer a first approach to strategies for delivering condolences in 18th and 19th century letters written in the Canary Islands, Spain. Its goal is to describe which are the most common semantic formulas used to give condolences, and how much they resemble those described by different authors regarding this speech act in modern languages.

Fundamento: en este trabajo se analiza el impacto de la COVID-19 en el consumo de antidepresivos durante el primer año de la pandemia (2020) tomando como línea de base las tendencias de prescripción durante los 4 años anteriores (2016-2019) en la provincia de Santa Cruz de Tenerife y las cuatro islas que la conforman. Métodos: los datos de ventas en las farmacias comunitarias se tomaron como base de datos agregados. La dosis por 1000 habitantes y día se utilizó como indicador de consumo. Resultados: en las islas de El Hierro y La Gomera, el aumento de población no justifica por sí solo los incrementos relevantes observados en el consumo de antidepresivos y, posiblemente, la COVID-19 y sus consecuencias sobre la salud de la población podrían ser responsables de dichos aumentos. En la isla de Tenerife el incremento de población podría justificar, en gran medida, el ligero aumento de consumo observado. La isla de La Palma presenta un aumento de tan solo un 1,40 %, pero menor al valor esperado tomando como línea de base el periodo 2016-2019. Todas las islas presentan las mismas tendencias en el consumo de los diferentes subgrupos de antidepresivos y principios activos, aunque con ligeras variaciones, con la excepción de la isla de la Palma que presenta un comportamiento y tendencias estadísticamente diferentes. Conclusiones: las diferencias de prescripción observadas podrían estar relacionadas con las características sociosanitarias y demográficas de cada una de las islas.

A finales del siglo XIX surgieron en las ciudades europeas distintos miedos sociales en paralelo al desarrollo del capitalismo industrial. El fenómeno de la creciente criminalidad urbana tuvo un lugar protagónico entre aquellos temores, objeto de atención para la literatura, las nuevas ciencias sociales y, por supuesto, la prensa periódica. Este artículo se propone analizar, a partir de la selección de una serie de diarios locales, los pánicos morales construidos en las Islas Canarias entre los años 1900 y 1930 en torno a dos tipos concretos de homo criminalis: el polizón o el extranjero, indocumentado y el delincuente juvenil. Ambos coparon la atención de la prensa en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y Santa Cruz de Tenerife durante las décadas señaladas. Para alcanzar este objetivo se realizará un estudio del encuadre discursivo de los artículos de prensa seleccionados.

A new species from the Canary Islands is described and illustrated: Micrambe humboldti n. sp. A differential key to the Canarian endemic species is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new species of terrestrial isopod is described, Soteriscus jandiensis n. sp., found in Pico de La Zarza from the Jandía peninsula (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain). Like the other three species from these islands of Soteriscus Taiti & Rossano, 2015 genus, it belongs to the "atlantic" group as it has: a rounded internal tip of exopodite I of the male; an elongated exopod of the uropod; and a reduced number of pores in the glandular fields of the pleuroepimers. Nevertheless, it is differentiated from this group for having a large rounded crest, with strong setae in the distal area, on the external face of the merus of the seventh pereiopod of the male.

Background: This work analyzed the impact of COVID-19 on antidepressant consumption during the first year of the pandemic (2020) taking as a baseline the prescribing trends during the previous 4 years (2016-2019). For this, the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the 4 islands that make it up were taken as a geographical area. Methods: Sales data in community pharmacies were taken as an aggregated database. The dose per inhabitant and day was used as an indicator of consumption. Results: In the islands of EL Hierro and La Gomera, the increase in population does not in itself justify the relevant increases observed in the consumption of antidepressants and possibly COVID-19 and its consequences on the health of the population could be responsible for these increases. On the island of Tenerife, the increase in population could justify, to a large extent, the slight increase in consumption observed. The island of La Palma presents an increase of 1.40%, but lower than the expected value taking as baseline the prescribing trends in the last 4 years, despite an increase in population of 0,95%. All the islands present the same trends in the consumption of the different subgroups of antidepressants and active pharmaceutical ingredients, although with slight variations, with the exception of the island of La Palma which presents a statistically different behavior and trends. Conclusions: These differences could be related to the socio-sanitary and demographic characteristics of each of the islands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Los milpiés (Diplopoda) son detritívoros que viven generalmente ocultos dentro del suelo y la hojarasca, y en la mayoría de las especies poco se conoce sobre su biología. Esto es especialmente cierto en el caso de los enigmáticos Colobognatha, como Hirudicryptus canariensis, un milpiés sifonócriptido endémico de los bosques de laurisilva de la Macaronesia. Hasta ahora, nadie ha reportado observaciones de un Siphonocryptida vivo. Aquí presentamos observaciones de ejemplares vivos en el macizo de Anaga en Tenerife, Islas Canarias (España), así como también datos sobre su desarrollo postembrionario basados en observaciones de 296 ejemplares, incluyendo datos de la literatura. En Tenerife Hirudicryptus canariensis se encontró exclusivamente sobre y bajo la corteza del brezo Erica platycodon a elevaciones de 630-‍870 m. Hirudicryptus canariensis forma agregaciones de individuos juveniles y maduros con varios cientos de ejemplares por árbol y puede considerarse como ‘temporalmente subsocial. H. canariensis eclosiona con 6 terguitos y 7 pares de patas (estadio I), careciendo de un terguito ápodo, y en los estadios posteriores siempre tiene un único terguito aparentemente ápodo, aunque se añade un número variable de terguitos con patas. Por lo tanto, estos últimos pueden desarrollarse de nuevo sin un precursor ápodo. El número de pares de patas es siempre impar, y los gonópodos inmaduros(modificaciones de los pares de patas 9 y 10 en los machos) aparecen inicialmente en individuos del estadio III con 15 terguitos y 23 pares de patas. Los gonópodos están completamente desarrollados en el estadio IV. El desarrollo postembrionario se refleja en parte en el patrón de color. Para futuras identificaciones de H. canariensis, proporcionamos los primeros datos de la secuencia genética (CO1) de la especie y los primeros datos moleculares de un miembro de los Siphonocryptida.

Anagyrus fusciventris (Girault, 1915) (Hymenoptera, Encyrtidae) is recorded for the first time in the Canary Islands (Spain) and the Macaronesian region. One specimen was observed on 2nd May 2020 in the municipality of Candelaria (Tenerife). Samples of Coccoloba uvifera L. (Magnoliopsida, Polygonaceae) infested by Paracoccus burnerae (Brain, 1915) (Hemiptera, Pseudococcidae) were collected from perimeter gardens of the observation point and placed in insect evolutionaries between May and June 2020. One specimen of A. fusciventris was then collected on 12th June 2020. Parasitoid and mealybug were identified using morphological and molecular methods based on the DNA barcode sequencing.

Los enclaves costeros isleños son espacios de interacción y de conflicto identitario y económico. Lo fueron en los momentos de conquista y lo son en la actualidad turística poscolonial. Específicamente, las edificaciones defensivas y portuarias que perviven en una serie de zonas costeras de las islas Canarias nos permiten reflexionar acerca de cómo la colonialidad atraviesa el recuerdo y el concepto de monumentalidad. Se propone el análisis de las crónicas de la conquista de Canarias para argumentar la importancia de estos espacios en la justificación discursiva de la colonización por parte de la mirada europea, así como un ejercicio teórico comparativo con la realidad contemporánea de explotación y mitificación del entorno que puede denominarse neocolonial.

La expedición comandada por Gadifer de la Salle y Jean de Bethencourt, auspiciada por el monarca castellano Enrique III, arribó a la costa de la isla de Lanzarote e inauguró con ello de manera oficial el proceso de conquista señorial del archipiélago canario en 1402. El yacimiento de San Marcial de Rubicón acoge los vestigios del primer asentamiento permanente de esta hueste europea, entre los que se encuentra el pozo de San Marcial de Rubicón, objeto de este trabajo. En estas páginas, se aborda por primera vez el estudio constructivo y estratigráfico de esta fábrica, el cual nos ha permitido concluir que su edificación respondió a un proyecto concebido de antemano y ejecutado con criterios profesionales por los canteros que acompañaron a De la Salle y Bethencourt en aquella empresa.

La inmigración irregular es un fenómeno complejo que desafía los conceptos de confinamiento y restricción al libre tránsito presentados por la pandemia. En ese sentido, 2020 fue un año particularmente agitado para los flujos migratorios de África a Europa. La ruta hacia las islas Canarias en España se reactivó luego de más de una década de baja actividad, llegándose a registrar 23 023 llegadas irregulares en 2020. Al igual que en otros territorios insulares europeos, como Lesbos o Lampedusa, Canarias cuenta con una limitada capacidad estatal de atención al inmigrante. La pandemia representa, entonces, un factor para la emigración masiva en el Magreb y África subsahariana, pero también es un factor para la violación de derechos humanos de los inmigrantes antes, durante y después de su llegada al archipiélago canario. En estas circunstancias, el Estado español está obligado a cumplir con el derecho internacional, comunitario y nacional en lo referente a los derechos fundamentales de las personas migrantes. Este artículo argumenta que España debe garantizar en todo momento la protección de la salud de los refugiados y solicitantes de protección internacional en los procedimientos legales de intervención, atención y detención. Asimismo, la aplicación de medidas sanitarias no exime al Estado de su obligación a brindar garantías como el acceso a la asistencia letrada, la libre circulación por todo el territorio, el respeto por los plazos de detención y el mantenimiento de las instalaciones de recepción
