La finalidad de la revisión de alcance fue mapear sistemáticamente la evidencia científica sobre la participación paterna en las evaluaciones y en las intervenciones familiares realizadas en los Servicios de Atención a la Infancia, la Adolescencia y las Familias para conocer las características de la producción científica en este campo de estudio. Se realizó la búsqueda de datos en varias bases de datos y se seleccionaron finalmente 47 manuscritos. Los hallazgos evidencian la predominancia de estudios cualitativos en los países de habla anglosajona. Además, se centran en las experiencias de las madres y de los padres en estos servicios, destacando las barreras para su participación y la relación con los/las profesionales. No obstante, se señala la falta de investigaciones centradas en las experiencias únicas de las figuras paternas en el contexto del bienestar y de la protección infantil.

Se presentan el instrumento y la técnica de recolección de datos utilizados en la tesis doctoral titulada "Significados de la continuidad de vínculos en hombres que experiencian el duelo por un ser querido".

Long term database of morphometric measurements of Blainville’s beaked whales off El Hierro, Canary Islands (Eastern North Atlantic population) from aerial photographs. Includes absolute body length measurements of the whales and proportional measurements of their body at 5% increments from rostrum. For further information please contact arranz@ull.edu.es.

This dataset comprises high-definition video recordings documenting tongue-nibbling behaviour in killer whales (Orcinus orca) observed both under human care at Loro Parque (Orca Ocean, Tenerife, Spain) and in a wild population off the coast of northern Norway. Tongue-nibbling is a rare and understudied tactile interaction with potential affiliative and social bonding functions. The dataset includes: One video file recorded in 2024 in Tverrfjorden (Norway), showing a detailed instance of tongue-nibbling between two wild individuals. Footage captured by Allison Kelly Estevez, and Michael Estevez One video recorded during a ethological study in Loro Parque, illustrating repeated occurrences of the same behaviour in 2013.

Dataset of Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) operations for the article, titled "AN EXTENSIVE STUDY ON RACEMIC TRIGLYCERIDES AS AMIDOHYDROLASE ENZYME INHIBITORS"

This dataset includes responses from 935 university students (M = 21.23; SD = 4.23; 66.09% female) who completed a battery of self-report measures assessing personality traits, emotional dysregulation, decision-making styles, and executive control, as well as indicators of Problematic Social Media Use (PSMU) and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD). The data were collected as part of a cross-sectional study conducted within the framework of the I-PACE model (Brand et al., 2019), aiming to identify shared and distinct psychosocial predictors of PSMU and IGD in young adults. Variables include raw scores for all scales, demographic information (age, gender), and group classifications based on vulnerability to PSMU, IGD, or co-occurrence of both. The dataset can be used to explore behavioral addiction profiles in youth, the interaction between cognitive-emotional variables, and the development of tailored prevention strategies.

Long term database of morphometric measurements of short-finned pilot whales off the Canary Islands (Eastern North Atlantic population) from aerial photographs. Includes absolute body length measurements of the whales and proportional measurements of their body at 5% increments from rostrum. For further information please contact arranz@ull.edu.es.

This study examines the alignment between whale-watching (WW) experiences and tourist expectations in three North Atlantic destinations. As marine wildlife tourism, above all whale watching, gains popularity, it is vital to strike the right balance between tourist satisfaction and ecological conservation. Whale watching is now a global tourist trend, with locations like the Canary Islands and the Azores rapidly becoming prime spots for these activities. These locations attract a significant number of tourists with varying recreational interests and diverse perceptions of each destination and its natural resources. While often marketed as sustainable tourism, the ecological impacts of whale watching are a matter of concern, especially in the region of Macaronesia, where cetaceans are under increased exposure to commercial and recreational vessels. These factors contribute to changing dynamics in stakeholder perceptions and in the management of marine resources. The findings here highlight how perceptions and images of whale watching evolve and how these changes influence stakeholder behavior and preferences. Evolving whale-watching practices may reinforce or diminish conservation and environmental education images. By addressing the balance between tourist satisfaction, operational guidelines and conservation efforts, this research aims to promote more sustainable practices in marine wildlife tourism, ensuring ecological integrity and enriching experiences for visitors.

Raw results from cell and animal experiments

FASTA files containing fragments of the mitochondrial gene Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit I (COI) obtained with Sanger sequencing, for two sea urchin species, Arbacia lixula and Paracentrotus lividus. These samples were collected from individuals inhabiting along natural CO2 gradient in the Canary Islands, Spain.
