Natural resistances to viruses in cucurbits
(Agronomy, 2020-12-24)Cucurbit viruses cause considerable economic losses worldwide. The most common viral diseases affecting this crop family are Potyviruses, Cucumoviruses, Criniviruses, Ipomoviruses, Tobamoviruses, and ... -
Naturalized Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris complement the resident parasitoid complex of Tuta absoluta in North-eastern Spain
(Journal of Applied Entomology, 2022-03-09)Our work reports on the establishment of the neotropical parasitoid Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris Marsh (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for the first time in Europe. This larval parasitoid has been recorded ... -
Navigating through space and time: A methodological approach to quantify spatiotemporal connectivity using stream flow data as a case study
(Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023-05-16)1. The growing interest in combining spatial and temporal patterns in nature has been fostered by the current availability of high-frequency measurements. However, we still lack a methodological framework ... -
Near infrared sensors for the precise characterization of salt content in canned tuna fish
(Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2023-07-28)Non-invasive technologies could help to guarantee quality standards of canned tuna fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of bench-top (FT-NIR) and low-cost (LC-NIR) near infrared ... -
Near infrared spectroscopy for fast characterization of animal by products feedstocks for biogas production: Calibration of a handheld device
(Biomass and Bioenergy, 2022-12-28)Anaerobic digestion performance is highly influenced by the chemical composition and flow of substrates. This work evaluates the feasibility of a handheld near infrared spectrometer to predict moisture, ... -
