Pentaplacodinium saltonense gen. et sp. nov. (Dinophyceae) and its relationship to the cyst-defined genus Operculodinium and yessotoxin-producing Protoceratium reticulatum
(Elsevier, 2017-12-16)
Strains of a dinoflagellate from the Salton Sea, previously identified as Protoceratium reticulatum and yessotoxin producing, have been reexamined morphologically and genetically and Pentaplacodinium ...
The rise of blockchain technology in agriculture and food supply chains
(Elsevier, 2019-07-30)
Blockchain is an emerging digital technology allowing ubiquitous financial transactions among distributed untrusted parties, without the need of intermediaries such as banks. This article examines the ...
Living on the Edge: Demography of the Slender-Billed Gull in the Western Mediterranean
(Public Library of Science, 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 ...
Dependence of sediment sorting on bedload transport phase in a river meander
(Wiley, 2018-03-05)
It is widely recognized nowadays that there are at least two different phases of bedload sediment transport in gravel‐bed rivers. However, the transition between these phases is still poorly or subjectively ...
The analysis of genome composition and codon bias reveals distinctive patterns between avian and mammalian circoviruses which suggest a potential recombinant origin for Porcine circovirus 3
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-29)
Members of the genus Circovirus are host-specific viruses, which are totally dependent on cell machinery for their replication. Consequently, certain mimicry of the host genome features is expected to ...
Factors driving the seasonal dynamics of Pseudo-nitzschia species and domoic acid at mussel farming in the SW Mediterranean Sea
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-10-17)
The seasonal variations in Pseudo-nitzschia species and domoic acid (DA) concentration were investigated, at three shellfish farms in SW coastal Mediterranean. In parallel, the toxicity of mussels was ...
Population genetics of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) introduced in North America and Europe
(Nature Research, 2017-01-03)
Globally, the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) stands as the second most important bivalve
species in fisheries and aquaculture. Native to the Pacific coast of Asia, it is now well-established ...
Modeling ecotoxicity impacts in vineyard production: Addressing spatial differentiation for copper fungicides
(Elsevier, 2017-10-28)
Application of plant protection products (PPP) is a fundamental practice for viticulture. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has proved to be a useful tool to assess the environmental performance of agricultural ...
Structural and functional responses of invertebrate communities to climate change and flow regulation in alpine catchments
(Wiley, 2019-01-30)
Understanding and predicting how biological communities respond to climate change is critical for assessing biodiversity vulnerability and guiding conservation efforts. Glacier‐ and snow‐fed rivers are ...
A mycobacterial disease is associated with the silent mass mortality of the pen shell Pinna nobilis along the Tyrrhenian coastline of Italy
(Nature, 2019-02-25)
Disease is an increasing threat for marine bivalves worldwide. Recently, a mass mortality event (MME) impacting the bivalve Pinna nobilis was detected across a wide geographical area of the Spanish ...
