A smartphone-controlled amperometric immunosensor for the detection of Pacific ciguatoxins in fish
(Elsevier, 2021-12-02)
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are marine neurotoxins produced by microalgae of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa. CTXs may reach humans through food webs and cause ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). An immunosensor ...
Connecting the morphological and molecular species concepts to facilitate species identification within the genus Fragilaria (Bacillariophyta)
(Wiley, 2019-05-20)
This paper explores the diversity and taxonomy of species within Fragilaria sensu stricto, an abundant and ecologically important diatom genus, taking advantage of cultured and DNA ‐barcoded material. ...
Monitoring rice crop and yield estimation with Sentinel-2 data
(Elsevier, 2022-03-06)
The future success of rice farming will lie in developing productive, sustainable, and resilient farming systems in relation to coexistent ecosystems. Thus, accurate information on agricultural practices ...
Nitzschia captiva sp. nov. (Bacillariophyta), the essential prey diatom of the kleptoplastic dinoflagellate Durinskia capensis, compared with N. agnita, N. kuetzingioides and other species
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2023-03-13)
Durinskia capensis is a kleptoplastic dinoflagellate species from high intertidal marine rock pools, which can use a variety of diatoms for photosynthesis. However, very few of the diatoms permit ...
Greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation in rice agriculture
(Springer Nature, 2023-09-26)
Rice paddies supply half the global population with staple food, but also account for ~48% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from croplands. In this Review, we outline the characteristics of GHG emissions ...
Diatoms as dandelions: convergent evolution in the reproductive biology of small Nitzschia species (Bacillariophyta) and its possible taxonomic consequences
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2024-03-01)
Nitzschia soratensis and N. inconspicua are two small diatoms that are extremely similar in the light microscope though separable in subtle aspects of valve and girdle ultrastructure. They are not closely ...
β-cyclodextrin polymer as tetrodotoxins scavenger in oyster extracts
(Elsevier, 2024-04-16)
Tetrodotoxins (TTXs) are potent marine neurotoxins involved in poisoning cases in humans after consumption of some marine organisms. A cell-based assay (CBA) providing toxicological information is a ...
Non-perennial segments in river networks
(Springer Nature, 2023-11-23)
Non-perennial river segments — those that recurrently cease to flow or frequently dry — occur in all river networks and are globally more abundant than perennial (always flowing) segments. However, ...
Self-assembled monolayer-based immunoassays for okadaic acid detection in seawater as monitoring tools
(Elsevier, 2017-11-14)
Rapid and cost-effective methods to monitor the presence of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins in seawater samples in an easy and reliable manner are required to protect human health and avoid ...
Identification of potential recruitment bottlenecks in larval stages of the giant fan mussel Pinna nobilis using specific quantitative PCR
(Springer, 2018-04-12)
Pinna nobilis is an endangered species of fan mussel found along coastal Mediterranean waters requiring special attention for conservation. Populations are restricted in number, due to anthropogenic ...
