Use of a hydrodynamic model for the management of water renovation in a coastal system
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2019-03-04)
In this contribution we investigate the hydrodynamic response in Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta, NW Mediterranean Sea) to different anthropogenic modifications in freshwater flows and inner bay–open sea ...
Changing nutrients, changing rivers
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019-08-16)
Eutrophication—the excessive enrichment of a body of water with nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)—is Earth's most widespread problem for water quality (1, 2). Growing evidence suggests ...
Alternative Methods for the Detection of Emerging Marine Toxins: Biosensors, Biochemical Assays and Cell-Based Assays
(MDPI, 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 ...
Hydropeaking effects on movement patterns of brown trout (Salmo trutta L.)
(Wiley, 2019-04-23)
Radiotelemetry was used to investigate seasonal movement and home range of brown trout Salmo trutta (size range 188–420 mm fork length, N = 30) in two reaches of the Noguera Pallaresa River (Ebro Basin, ...
Validated methodology for quantifying infestation levels of dreissenid mussels in environmental DNA (eDNA) samples
(Nature Research, 2016-12-14)
The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha Pallas, 1771) and the quagga mussel (D. rostriformis Deshayes, 1838) are successful invasive bivalves with substantial ecological and economic impacts in freshwater ...
New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records (November 2018)
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, 2018-12)
In the present article, new records are given for 18 species (6 native, 9 alien and 3 cryptogenic), belonging to 5 Phyla (i.e. Chlorophyta, Cnidaria, Annelida, Mollusca and Chordata), from 8 Mediterranean ...
Neglecting the fallow season can significantly underestimate annual methane emissions in Mediterranean rice fields
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-31)
Paddy rice fields are one of the most important sources of anthropogenic methane. Improving the accuracy in the CH4 budget is fundamental to identify strategies to mitigate climate change. Such improvement ...
Taxonomy and diversity of a little-known diatom genus Simonsenia (Bacillariaceae) in the marine littoral: novel taxa from the Yellow Sea and the Gulf of Mexico
(National Botanic Garden of Belgium and Royal Botanical Society of Belgium, 2019-07-09)
Background and aims – The diatom genus Simonsenia has been considered for some time a minor taxon, limited in its distribution to fresh and slightly brackish waters. Recently, knowledge of its diversity ...
Detecting harmful algal blooms with isothermal molecular strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-08-06)
The use of isothermal nucleic acid amplification strategies to detect harmful algal blooms (HABs) is in its infancy. We describe recent advances in these systems and highlight the challenges for the ...
Tracking a mass mortality outbreak of pen shell Pinna nobilis populations: A collaborative effort of scientists and citizens
(Nature Research, 2019-09-16)
A mass mortality event is devastating the populations of the endemic bivalve Pinna nobilis in the Mediterranean Sea from early autumn 2016. A newly described Haplosporidian endoparasite (Haplosporidium ...
