Interannual dynamics of Tuber melanosporum and fungal communities in productive black truffle orchards amended with truffle nests
(Oxford University, 2023-07-22)
Truffle growers devote great efforts to improve black truffle productivity, developing agronomic practices such as ‘truffle nests’ (peat amendments that are supplemented with truffle spore inoculum). ...
Dispersal of the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor in storage warehouses
(Elsevier, 2023-12-21)
Habrobracon hebetor is an ectoparasitoid that attacks the last-instar larvae of moth pests, such as Ephestia kuehniella, an important pest of grain and flour in storage facilities and in bakeries. To ...
Flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) juveniles exhibit consistent proactive and reactive stress coping styles
(Elsevier, 2023-08-22)
Stress coping styles (SCS) are defined as a coherent set of individual physiological and behavioural differences in stress responses that are consistent across context and over time. Nowadays, an increased ...
Residual correlation and ensemble modelling to improve crop and grassland models
(Elsevier, 2023-01-13)
Multi-model ensembles are becoming increasingly accepted for the estimation of agricultural carbon-nitrogen fluxes, productivity and sustainability. There is mounting evidence that with some site-specific ...
Promoting a circular economy by developing new gastronomic products from brassica non-edible leaves
(Wiley, 2023-12-15)
This study aims to apply circular economy principles by reintroducing discarded Brassica leaves into the value chain as innovative products. Non-edible leaves of three Brassica varieties were used to ...
Spawning induction for Latin American fishes

Aquaculture offers solutions to meet the growing global demand for fish, and reports from the UN-FAO indicate that aquaculture production in Latin America (LA) has grown at rates above the world average ...
Cultivar differences in the hormonal crosstalk regulating apple fruit development and ripening: relationship with flavour components and postharvest susceptibility to Penicillium expansum
(Elsevier, 2023-08-17)
The hormonal interplay during the on-tree development and ripening of three apple cultivars with known differences in their postharvest ripening patterns was studied, at the biochemical and targeted ...
Early life stages of the invasive Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus in the Western Mediterranean Sea
(Elsevier, 2023-12-11)
The early life cycle of the Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus includes seven zoeal stages that develop in coastal waters, and a later megalopal stage that colonizes estuaries. Although these stages ...
Maximising environmental pressure-response relationship signals from diatom-based metabarcoding in rivers
(Elsevier, 2023-12-28)
DNA metabarcoding has been performed on a large number of river phytobenthos samples collected from the UK, using rbcL primers optimised for diatoms. Within this dataset the composition of non-diatom ...
