Impact of a reservoir system on benthic macroinvertebrate and diatom communities of a large Mediterranean river (lower Ebro river, Catalonia, Spain)
(Asociación Ibérica de Limnologia, 2018)
This study included the main hydrogeomorphic categories of the lower Ebro River and aimed to detect spatial and temporal patterns of macroinvertebrates and diatoms communities inhabiting downstream a ...
Marine Dinoflagellate Assemblage in the Galápagos Marine Reserve
(Frontiers Media, 2019-05-07)
It is likely that harmful algal blooms have increased in frequency, intensity, and geographic distribution in the last decades in response to anthropogenic activities. The Galápagos Islands are renowned ...
An Attempt to Characterize the Ciguatoxin Profile in Seriola fasciata Causing Ciguatera Fish Poisoning in Macaronesia
(MDPI, 2019-04-13)
Ciguatera Fish Poisoning is a worldwide concern caused by the consumption of fish contaminated with ciguatoxins not only in endemic regions in the Pacific Ocean or the Caribbean Sea but also in emerging ...
Discovery of a kleptoplastic 'dinotom' dinoflagellate and the unique nuclear dynamics of converting kleptoplastids to permanent plastids
(Nature Research, 2019-07-19)
A monophyletic group of dinoflagellates, called ‘dinotoms’, are known to possess evolutionarily intermediate plastids derived from diatoms. The diatoms maintain their nuclei, mitochondria, and the ...
Characterization of stress coping style in Senegalese sole (Soleasenegalensis) juveniles and breeders for aquaculture
(The Royal Society, 2016-11-01)
The aim of this work was to characterize stress coping styles of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) juveniles and breeders and to select an operational behavioural screening test (OBST) that can be ...
Identification of ciguatoxins in a shark involved in a fatal food poisoning in the Indian Ocean
(Nature Research, 2017-08-15)
Severe food poisoning events after the consumption of sharks have been reported since the 1940s;
however, there has been no clear understanding of their cause. Herein, we report for the frst time ...
Salinity as the main factor structuring small-bodied fish assemblages in hydrologically altered Mediterranean coastal lagoons
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2013-02-26)
In the Ebro Delta coastal lagoons, one of the main anthropogenic pressures is the artificial freshwater input. Each coastal lagoon has different water management schemes causing profound changes in its ...
Diat.barcode, an open-access curated barcode library for diatoms
(Nature Research, 2019-10-22)
Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) are ubiquitous microalgae which produce a siliceous exoskeleton and which make a major contribution to the productivity of oceans and freshwaters. They display a huge diversity, ...
Drought decreases incorporation of recent plant photosynthate into soil food webs regardless of their trophic complexity
(Wiley, 2019-07-13)
Theory suggests that more complex food webs promote stability and can buffer the effects of perturbations, such as drought, on soil organisms and ecosystem functions. Here, we tested experimentally how ...
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 ...
