Microbial community structure in a host‐parasite system: the case of Prussian carp and its parasitic crustaceans
(Wiley, 2021-03-16)
Aims. The aim of the study was to investigate the skin microbiota of Prussian carp infested by ectoparasites from the genus Argulus and Lernaea. Methods and Results. Associated microbiota of skin of ...
Combination of sonication with anti-browning treatments as a strategy to increase the shelf life of fresh-cut potatoe (cv. Monalisa)
(Wiley, 2021-04-12)
Two antioxidant solutions, a patented mixture based on vitamin C and other compounds (Natureseal ®, MV) and green tea extract (GT), were proposed to prevent browning in sliced potatoes. Combination with ...
Dissecting the influence of the orchard location and the maturity at harvest on apple quality, physiology and susceptibility to major postharvest pathogens
(Elsevier, 2021-04-03)
‘Golden Reinders’ apple quality parameters, fruit physiology, biochemical composition and susceptibility to Penicillium expansum and Rhizopus stolonifer were analysed in fruit harvested from four different ...
Narrow versus broad: sexual dimorphism in the wing form of western European species of the subgenus Avaritia (Culicoides, Ceratopogonidae)
(Wiley, 2021-01-12)
While wing form is known to differ between males and females of the genus Culicoides, detailed studies of sexual dimorphism are lacking. In this study, we analyze sex-specific differences in the wing ...
(E)-Anethole microspheres as an alternative insecticide in funnel traps
(Elsevier, 2021-08-07)
Pyrethroids are the insecticides most commonly used inside traps, and the lack of alternatives poses the risk of pests developing resistance. In this paper we present two (E)-anethole formulations (spray ...
Providing recombinant gonadotropin-based therapies that induce oogenesis from previtellogenic oocytes to produce viable larvae in a teleost, the flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus)
(Elsevier, 2021-01-27)
Under intensive captive conditions, wild-caught flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) females remained arrested in previtellogenic stages of gonadal development and no sperm could be obtained from males. ...
The feasibility of using gas mixture to stun seabream (Sparus aurata) before slaughtering in aquaculture production
(Elsevier, 2021-07-10)
Current European Union regulation explicitly states that farmed fish should be spared any avoidable pain, distress or suffering at the time of slaughter. It has been shown that fish suffer when they are ...
Light signals generated by vegetation shade facilitate acclimation to low light in shade-avoider plants
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2021-05-07)
When growing in search for light, plants can experience continuous or occasional shading by other plants. Plant proximity causes a decrease in the ratio of R to far-red light (low R:FR) due to the ...
An Endeavor to Find Starter Feed Alternatives and Techniques for Zebrafish First-Feeding Larvae: The Effects on Viability, Morphometric Traits, Digestive Enzymes, and Expression of Growth-Related Genes
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2021-02-12)
Low and variable growth and survival rates (SR) of 6–10 days postfertilization zebrafish larvae are a problem. This problem seems to be linked to starter feed characteristics. This study is an attempt ...
Intraspecific structure of the Coregonus lavaretus complex in water bodies of Siberia: a case of postglacial allopatric origin of Yukagirian whitefish
(NRC Research (Canadian Science Publishing), 2021-11-05)
The results of morphological and genetic analyses of forms/species of the Coregonus lavaretus pidschian (Gmelin, 1789) complex from the Indigirka and Kolyma river basins are presented in the context of ...
