Habitat and Scale Shape the Demographic Fate of the Keystone Sea Urchin Paracentrotus lividus in Mediterranean Macrophyte Communities
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-20)
Demographic processes exert different degrees of control as individuals grow, and in species that span several habitats and
spatial scales, this can influence our ability to predict their population ...
Fast skeletal muscle transcriptome of the Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) determined by next generation sequencing
(BMC, 2012-05-11)
Background: The gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) occurs around the Mediterranean and along Eastern Atlantic
coasts from Great Britain to Senegal. It is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures and ...
Protective Immunity to Listeria Monocytogenes Infection Mediated by Recombinant Listeria innocua Harboring the VGC Locus
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-19)
In this study we propose a novel bacterial vaccine strategy where non-pathogenic bacteria are complemented with traits
desirable for the induction of protective immunity. To illustrate the proof of ...
Conserved Synthetic Peptides from the Hemagglutinin of Influenza Viruses Induce Broad Humoral and T-Cell Responses in a Pig Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07-16)
Outbreaks involving either H5N1 or H1N1 influenza viruses (IV) have recently become an increasing threat to cause potential
pandemics. Pigs have an important role in this aspect. As reflected in the ...
First record and evidence of an established population of the North American mud crab Dyspanopeus sayi (Brachyura: Heterotremata: Panopeidae) in the western Mediterranean
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-03)
The panopeid crab Dyspanopeus sayi (Smith, 1869) is reported here from the Ebro Delta (Mediterranean coast
of the Iberian Peninsula). Originally endemic to the Atlantic coast of North America, D. sayi ...
Genome-wide linkage analysis of QTL for growth and body composition employing the PorcineSNP60 BeadChip
(BMC, 2012-05-20)
Background: The traditional strategy to map QTL is to use linkage analysis employing a limited number of markers.
These analyses report wide QTL confidence intervals, making very difficult to identify ...
VtaA8 and VtaA9 from Haemophilus parasuis delay phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages
(BMC, 2012-07-27)
Haemophilus parasuis, a member of the family Pasteurellaceae, is a common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract
of healthy pigs and the etiological agent of Glässer’s disease. As other virulent ...
Assessment of unconsciousness in pigs during exposure to nitrogen and carbon dioxide mixtures
(Elsevier, 2012-10-26)
The aim of this study was to assess unconsciousness in pigs during and after the exposure to gas mixtures of 70% nitrogen (N2)
and 30% carbon dioxide (CO2) (70N30C), 80% N2 and 20% CO2 (80N20C) and 85% ...
Ecological Factors Driving Avian Influenza Virus Dynamics in Spanish Wetland Ecosystems
(Public Library of Science, 2012-11-12)
Studies exploring the ecological interactions between avian influenza viruses (AIV), natural hosts and the environment are
scarce. Most work has focused on viral survival and transmission under laboratory ...
Development Temperature Has Persistent Effects on Muscle Growth Responses in Gilthead Sea Bream
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-17)
Initially we characterised growth responses to altered nutritional input at the transcriptional and tissue levels in the fast
skeletal muscle of juvenile gilthead sea bream. Fish reared at 21–22uC ...
