Impacts of seasonality, drought, nitrogen fertilization, and litter on soil fluxes of biogenic volatile organic compounds in a Mediterranean forest
(Elsevier, 2023-09-27)
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play critical roles in ecosystems at various scales, influencing above- and below-ground interactions and contributing to the atmospheric environment. ...
Reproduction of the endangered fan mussel Pinna nobilis under natural and captivity conditions
(Wiley, 2023-09-05)
1. A mass mortality event that started in 2016 has put the fan mussel Pinna nobilis close to the brink of extinction, leading to the species being classified as Critically Endangered in the Red List of ...

New Potential Role of European Mouflon (Ovis aries musimon) in the Epidemiology of Border Disease in the Pyrenees
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2023-10-24)
Since 2001, high-mortality outbreaks of border disease (BD) have negatively affected populations of Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica). Studies in the affected areas determined that sympatric ...
Exchange of volatile organic compounds between the atmosphere and the soil
(Springer, 2024-03-06)
