Living on the Edge: Demography of the Slender-Billed Gull in the Western Mediterranean
(PLoS ONE, 2014-03-24)Small and peripheral populations are typically vulnerable to local extinction processes but important for the metapopulation dynamics of species. The Slender-billed gull (Chroicocephalus genei) is a ... -
Revealing additional preference heterogeneity with an extended random parameter logit model: the case of extra virgin olive oil
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014-07-09)Methods that account for preference heterogeneity have received a significant amount of attention in recent literature.Most of them have focused on preference heterogeneity around the mean of the random ... -
Evaluation of the sustainability of contrasted pig farming systems: integrated evaluation
(Animal, 2014-08-28)The aim of this paper is to present an approach for an integrated evaluation of the sustainability of pig farming systems, taking into account the three classical pillars: economy, environment and ... -
Genome data from a sixteenth century pig illuminate modern breed relationships
(Heredity, 2014-09-10)Ancient DNA (aDNA) provides direct evidence of historical events that have modeled the genome of modern individuals. In livestock, resolving the differences between the effects of initial domestication ... -
Estimation of carcass composition and cut composition from computed tomography images of live growing pigs of different genotypes
(Animal, 2014-09-12)The aim of the present work was (1) to study the relationship between cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) images obtained in live growing pigs of different genotypes and dissection measurements and ... -
Woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann ecology and its relationship with climatic variables and natural enemies in Mediterranean areas
(Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2014-10-22)A multilateral approach that includes both biotic and climatic data was developed to detect the main variables that affect the ecology and population dynamics of woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum ... -
Alternative Methods for the Detection of Emerging Marine Toxins: Biosensors, Biochemical Assays and Cell-Based Assays
(Marine Drugs, 2014-11-26)The emergence of marine toxins in water and seafood may have a considerable impact on public health. Although the tendency in Europe is to consolidate, when possible, official reference methods based ... -
The Lineage-Specific Evolution of Aquaporin Gene Clusters Facilitated Tetrapod Terrestrial Adaptation
(PLoS ONE, 2014-11-26)A major physiological barrier for aquatic organisms adapting to terrestrial life is dessication in the aerial environment. This barrier was nevertheless overcome by the Devonian ancestors of extant ... -
Gender-related differences in the formation of skatole metabolites by specific CYP450 in porcine hepatic S9 fractions
(Animal, 2014-12-03)Higher accumulation of skatole in the fat of male pigs compared with female pigs might be due to gender-related differences in the rate of skatole degradation. In the present study, skatole metabolites ... -
Changes in bread-making quality attributes of bread wheat varieties cultivated in Spain during the 20th century
(European Journal of Agronomy, 2014-12-08)Genetic gains in quality traits were assessed in grain samples from 4 field experiments involving 16 bread wheat varieties representative of those most widely cultivated in Spain during the 20th century. ... -
