Rapid capture and detection of ostreid herpesvirus-1 from Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas and seawater using magnetic beads
(Public Library of Science, 2018-10-03)
Ostreid herpesvirus-1 (OsHV-1) has been involved in mass mortality episodes of Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas throughout the world, causing important economic losses to the aquaculture industry. In ...
Seagrass epiphytic assemblages are strong indicators of agricultural discharge but weak indicators of host features
(Elsevier, 2018-03-02)
Wastewater pulses from rice agriculture are persistently discharged into the northern shore of the Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta, NW Mediterranean) from April to November. The bay also receives water from ...
Effects of steaming on contaminants of emerging concern levels in seafood
(Elsevier, 2018-05-19)
Seafood consumption is a major route for human exposure to environmental contaminants of emerging concern (CeCs). However, toxicological information about the presence of CeCs in seafood is still ...
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 ...
The role of forest maturity in extreme hydrological events
(Wiley, 2018-02-10)
This study aims to clarify the influence of forests, as well as other prevalent land cover types, on extreme hydrological events through a land cover gradient design. We selected 10 catchments within a ...
Global-change effects on early-stage decomposition processes in tidal wetlands – implications from a global survey using standardized litter
(Copernicus Publications, 2018-05-30)
Tidal wetlands, such as tidal marshes and mangroves, are hotspots for carbon sequestration. The preservation of organic matter (OM) is a critical process by which tidal wetlands exert influence over the ...
