The Optimal Valine to Lysine Ratio for Performance Parameters in Weaned Piglets
(Animals, 2021-04-27)The optimal digestible (d) Valine (Val) to d Lysine (Lys) ratio (dVal:dLys) in weaned piglets was determined using two different regression models. A total of 200 piglets were allotted to five feeding ... -
The origin of human pathogenicity and biological interactions in Chaetothyriales
(Fungal Diversity, 2023-03-01)Fungi in the order Chaetothyriales are renowned for their ability to cause human infections. Nevertheless, they are not regarded as primary pathogens, but rather as opportunists with a natural habitat ... -
The pH sensitivity of Aqp0 channels in tetraploid and diploid teleosts
(FASEB Journal, 2015-02-09)Water homeostasis and the structural integrity of the vertebrate lens is partially mediated by AQP0 channels. Emerging evidence indicates that external pH may be involved in channel gating. Here we ... -

The pitfalls of water potential for irrigation scheduling
(Agricultural Water Management, 2020-09-21)The water potential (Ψp), has been widely used as an indicator of plant water status for irrigation management purposes. The simple infrastructure needed for its measurement and its direct relation to ... -
The potential of a combination of pungent spices as a novel supplement in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) diets to aid in the strategic use of fish oil in aquafeeds: a holistic perspective
(Frontiers in Immunology, 2023-09-25)This work studied the potential of a combination of pungent spices (capsicum, black pepper, ginger, and cinnamaldehyde) to be used as a supplement in diets of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata; 44.1 ± ... -
The potential of alternative seed treatments to control anthracnose disease in white lupin
(Crop Protection, 2022-04-28)White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is a promising crop to meet the rising global demand for plant-based protein. The seed-borne pathogen Colletotrichum lupini, however, threatens lupin cultivation worldwide. ... -
The potential of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) of natural samples as a source of primary taxonomic information for reference libraries of diatom barcodes
(Fottea, 2018-02-27)Diatoms are used routinely to assess pollution level in rivers and lakes. Current methods are based on identification by light microscopy, which is laborious. An alternative is to identify species based ... -
The Potential of Metalloproteinase-9 Administration to Accelerate Mammary Involution and Boost the Immune System at Dry-Off
(Animals, 2021-11-30)The dry period is decisive for the milking performance of dairy cows. The promptness of mammary gland involution at dry-off affects not only the productivity in the next lactation, but also the risk ... -

(Limnetica, 2022)The presence of Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) (Araneae: Pisauridae) in the Ebro Delta extends its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula southwards. The rare Dolomedes plantarius has been observed ... -
The presence of wild Senegalese sole breeders improves courtship and reproductive success in cultured conspecifics
(Aquaculture, 2020-01-03)The life cycle of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) is not closed in captivity due to a reproductive dysfunction related to the lack of participation of cultured male breeders in the courtship. To ... -
