Detecting harmful algal blooms with isothermal molecular strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-08-06)
The use of isothermal nucleic acid amplification strategies to detect harmful algal blooms (HABs) is in its infancy. We describe recent advances in these systems and highlight the challenges for the ...
Planktic diatom responses to spatiotemporal environmental variation in high-mountain tropical lakes
(Wiley, 2024-01-18)
1. Tropical lakes harbour high levels of biodiversity, but the temporal and spatial variability of biological communities are still inadequately characterised, making it difficult to predict the impact ...
Use of anionic polymer-coated magnetic beads to pre-concentrate Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 from seawater: Application to a UV disinfection treatment
(Elsevier, 2021-02-02)
Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) represents a serious threat to shellfish aquaculture worldwide. To minimise its impact, early warning systems able to detect the virus in seawater prior to infection of ...
The importance of including soil carbon changes, ecotoxicity and biodiversity impacts in environmental life cycle assessments of organic and conventional milk in Western Europe
(Elsevier, 2019-01-04)
Estimates of soil carbon changes, biodiversity and ecotoxicity have often been missing from life cycle assessment based studies of organic dairy products, despite evidence that the impacts of organic ...
Early life stages of the invasive Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus in the Western Mediterranean Sea
(Elsevier, 2023-12-11)
The early life cycle of the Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus includes seven zoeal stages that develop in coastal waters, and a later megalopal stage that colonizes estuaries. Although these stages ...
New information about the toxicological profile of Prorocentrum panamense (Prorocentrales, Dinophyceae) and its global distribution
(Wiley, 2022-02-07)
Dinoflagellates of the genera Prorocentrum and Dinophysis are known producers of toxic compounds belonging to the okadaic acid (OA) group. The ingestion of shellfish contaminated with these toxins causes ...
Multiple environmental benefits of alternate wetting and drying irrigation system with limited yield impact on European rice cultivation: The Ebre Delta case
(Elsevier, 2021-09-16)
The AWD is an irrigation technology for rice cultivation, consisting in implementing alternate draining and flooded periods over the growing season, that delivers multiple environmental benefits, such ...
Human practices behind the aquatic and terrestrial ecological decoupling to climate change in the tropical Andes
(Elsevier, 2022-02-24)
Anthropogenic climate change and landscape alteration are two of the most important threats to the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the tropical Americas, thus jeopardizing water and soil resources ...
Maximising environmental pressure-response relationship signals from diatom-based metabarcoding in rivers
(Elsevier, 2023-12-28)
DNA metabarcoding has been performed on a large number of river phytobenthos samples collected from the UK, using rbcL primers optimised for diatoms. Within this dataset the composition of non-diatom ...
Evaluation of the occurrence and fate of pesticides in a typical Mediterranean delta ecosystem (EBRO RIVER delta) and risk assessment for aquatic organisms
(Elsevier, 2020-10-14)
Delta ecosystems are areas of high ecologic and economic values, where wildlife commonly shares the territory with intensive agricultural activities, particularly, rice cultivation and seafood production. ...
