Abstract

Aim: We expand here previous own biogeographic work on the determinants of avian colonisation of a major land‐bridge Mediterranean island. So far we have explained mechanistically the high current rate of colonisation of the island which proceeds by overflow of mainland species with growing population trends and with prior experience as winter visitors. However, here we focus on the historical factors that have led to such a high colonisation rate. Location: Majorca Island and a nearby Iberian mainland coastal region with equivalent characteristics (Alicante province). Time Period: Twenty‐five years (1991–2015). Major Taxa Studied: Birds. Methods: We compared the pattern of species gain and loss in Majorca and Alicante during the study period. Results: We found that while Alicante only gained eight new species and lost one, Majorca lost none and gained 21 species as breeders (odds ratio 2.6). The process of species gains in 5‐year periods since 1991 showed a nonlinear pattern in both regions, with an abrupt decline in Alicante starting in 2006–2010 and final stagnation during 2011–2015, but just a smooth and recent pattern of slowdown in Majorca (2011–2015 on). Taxonomic diversity of colonising species at the family level, as well as habitat of colonisation, were quite similar between regions, but larger body size species were more common in Majorca. Main Conclusions: We conclude that current differential colonisation rates between both regions are consistent with a more intense past defaunation of the resource‐poor region (Majorca) prior to modern rural flight that happened simultaneously in both regions. While Alicante could be approaching a theoretical carrying capacity in the number of species, Majorca is farther from it. We predict that the island will continue gaining species in the next few decades. Worldwide, further research on comparing wildlife recovery rates between regions with differential intensity of past wildlife defaunation is badly needed to understand biodiversity recovery processes.

3. Estrategias frente a la despoblación: el caso del commuting en un área de ruralidad extrema del norte de España

Author

Gómez Pellón, Eloy and Gómez Pellón, Eloy

Abstract

Within the various existing degrees of rurality, this article sets the analysis in an area of extreme rurality in the mountainous interior of northern Spain, which brings together the characteristics of a declining rural space. The text contains a double objective, consisting of analyzing, on the one hand, the effects of the frequent practice of commuting among some of its inhabitants, and, on the other hand, examining whether a gender segmentation hides behind this practice. The methodology used has been characteristically qualitative, with a lifestyle and gender approach. The article discovers a rich variety of types of commuters, both with origin and destination in this rural mountain area. As a way of life, it represents a daily and constant migration, which, simultaneously, can be a solid alternative to the traditional permanent migration, with the consequent roots of the population. The phenomenon, promising for its ability to generate expectations for the future, and for having a favorable impact on territorial cohesion, shows, however, important weaknesses, because it reveals a desperate access of rural residents to extra-local labor markets, compatible with a growing globalization and with a marked gender gap., Dentro de los diversos grados de ruralidad existentes, este artículo fija el análisis en un área de ruralidad extrema del interior montañoso del norte de España, que reúne los caracteres propios de un espacio rural declinante. El texto encierra un doble objetivo, consistente en analizar, por un lado, los efectos de la práctica frecuente del commuting entre algunos de sus habitantes, y, por otro lado, examinar si tras esta práctica se esconde una segmentación de género. La metodología empleada ha sido característicamente cualitativa, con enfoque de estilo de vida y de género. El artículo descubre una rica variedad de tipos de commuters, tanto con origen como con destino en este espacio rural de montaña. Como forma de vida, el commuting representa una migración diaria y contante, que, simultáneamente, puede suponer una sólida alternativa a la migración definitiva tradicional, con el consiguiente arraigo de la población. El fenómeno, esperanzador por su capacidad para generar expectativas de futuro, y por incidir favorablemente en la cohesión territorial, muestra, sin embargo, importantes debilidades, porque descubre un acceso desesperado de los residentes rurales a los mercados de trabajo extralocales, compatible con una creciente globalización y con una acusada brecha de género.
