The statue-menhir of Pedrão was studied and revaluated in 2018 and it was found that it had a head, a rounded base and engravings, some of them destroyed by the anthropic action. It was found that the arrangement of the eight cup-marks on the south face, if joined, would form the typical rectangular motif of the northwestern Iberian Peninsula statues-menhirs, so it should be included in this group and in the same generic age. This statue-menhir is out of place, although testimonies and popular traditions indicate that it would be close to its original context: on the coastal platform in front of Mount of Sanfins. It will has functioned as a symbol of identity and power marking a geostrategic place of encounter between populations for religious, social and exchange purposes.

Four uncommon bathyal thecate hydroids, Plicatotheca anitae Calder & Vervoort, 1986, Zygophylax africana Stechow,1923, Nemertesia falcicula (Ramil & Vervoort, 1992a) and Pseudoplumaria marocana (Billard, 1930), were collectedduring benthic surveys of the Cantabrian Sea and the Galicia Bank (Spain, northeastern Atlantic). Northern ranges of allfour are extended in the Atlantic Ocean. Elsewhere in the northeastern Atlantic, Plicatotheca anitae is known only fromthe Azores, while the nearest records of Nemertesia falcicula and Pseudoplumaria marocana are the Strait of Gibraltarand from a station northwest off Cape San Vicente in the south of Portugal, respectively. Zygophylax africana, known onlyfrom South Africa and Japan, is new to the European fauna and was obtained at an unusual depth. Each of the four species is described and illustrated, and their distributions and bathymetric ranges are revised.

Original Concept

Metahadzia uncispina n. sp. is described, being the second species of the genus on the Iberian Peninsula. The new species, well characterized by the transformation of the apical spine on the endopodite of the male uropod 2, is undoubtedly closely related with M. tavaresi (Mateus & Mateus, 1972) from the south of Portugal. Comments are made about recent emendations of the original concept of the genus Metahadzia Stock, 1977.

Nasal Consonant

This chapter’s analysis of the language of the south-west Iberian peninsula concludes that it consists of five vowels, one lateral consonant, one vibrant (plus another doubtful example), one nasal consonant, two sibilants, and three stops (occlusives) although the writing system does not enable us to make more precise statements about the latter; the frequent and non-existent combinations between the different phonemes are also established. The successive attempts to decipher the language are described, special attention being paid to the most recent of them, the weak points of which are specified, and the minimal contribution of Latinized personal names is pointed out.

AbstractThis study focuses on the dolphins populating the water between Gibraltar and Algeciras in the south Iberian Peninsula, an area subjected to pressure due to high human activity. The area is considered an important feeding and breeding ground for common dolphins (Delphinus delphis). Due to the degree of residence of some specimens, and the large gap in knowledge about the evolution of wounds in D. delphis specimens with lacerations, this work sought to perform the following analyses: identify lacerated individuals; characterize sequences of ‘before – during – after’ with respect to the occurrence of lacerations; and associate the type of injury with its severity. This work will inform future studies by expanding a database on injured individuals and contribute to periodical monitoring of specimens that frequent these geographic areas. Between 2013 and 2017, we were able to track the healing process of five injured individuals of common dolphins from a whale-watching platform thanks to photo identification. The animals exhibited fresh external wounds from different sources. In the majority of individuals, the wound-healing processes lasted 3–21 weeks. The frequency with which sightings are made and knowledge about the local population will help track injured animals, follow their wound evolution, and document their survival rates. The documented injuries inflicted by human interactions described in this paper may include fishing interactions and propeller strikes, probably as a consequence of the high intensity of recreational fishing and whale-watching activities in the area.
