Cyclodextrin polymers as passive sampling materials for lipophilic marine toxins in Prorocentrum lima cultures and a Dinophysis sacculus bloom in the NW Mediterranean Sea
(Elsevier, 2021-07-09)
Cyclodextrins, cyclic oligomers that form a conical structure with an internal cavity, are proposed as new and sustainable materials for passive sampling of lipophilic marine toxins. Two applicability ...
Pristine vs. human-altered Ebro Delta habitats display contrasting resilience to RSLR
(Elsevier, 2018-11-23)
River deltas are ecologically and economically valuable coastal ecosystems but low elevations make them extremely sensitive to relative sea level rise (RSLR), i.e. the combined effects of sea level rise ...
Assessment of cytotoxicity in ten strains of Gambierdiscus australes from Macaronesian Islands by neuro-2a cell-based assays
(Springer, 2018-06-15)
Within the dinoflagellate genus Gambierdiscus several species are well-known producers of ciguatoxins (CTXs) and maitotoxins (MTXs). These compounds are potent marine toxins that accumulate through the ...
Ripe for reassessment: a synthesis of available molecular data for the speciose diatom family Bacillariaceae
(Elsevier, 2020-10-13)
The Bacillariaceae is a very species-rich family of raphid diatoms and includes the large and taxonomically difficult genus Nitzschia, whose species are often small-celled and finely structured and have ...
Effects of water pollution and river fragmentation on population genetic structure of invasive mosquitofish
(Elsevier, 2018-05-22)
We analyzed variation at the GPI-2 locus and eleven microsatellite loci of eastern mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki populations introduced to the Ebro River (Spain), sampling above and below a dam (Flix ...
Effects of the application of a moderate alternate wetting and drying technique on the performance of different European varieties in Northern Italy rice system
(Elsevier, 2021-07-03)
Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) technique has been developed and evaluated on rice (Oryza sativa) systems in several countries worldwide for increasing water use efficiency and reducing negative ...
Tropical South America Diatom Database: a tool for studying the macroecology of microorganisms
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-06-28)
Determining the mechanisms of community assembly forms the foundation of biogeography and community ecology. Studies of the biodiversity and distribution of Neotropical macro-organisms have revealed the ...
Environmental controls on carbon sequestration, sediment accretion, and elevation change in the Ebro River Delta: Implications for wetland restoration
(Elsevier, 2019-03-26)
Delta wetlands are increasingly recognized as important sinks for ‘blue carbon,’ although this and other ecosystem services that deltas provide are threatened by human activities. We investigated factors ...
Distribution, identification and cytotoxicity of Gambierdiscus (Dinophyceae) in the Atlantic Selvagens Islands (Madeira, Portugal): a ciguatera gateway to Europe
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2022-07-18)
The emerging threat of ciguatera poisoning (CP) in Europe has been associated with fish captured in the Canary Islands (Spain) and Selvagens Islands (Portugal). The first are heavily populated islands ...
Colorimetric DNA-based assay for the specific detection and quantification of Ostreopsis cf. ovata and Ostreopsis cf. siamensis in the marine environment
(Elsevier, 2019-03-16)
Ostreopsis is a toxic benthic dinoflagellate largely distributed worldwide in tropical and temperate areas. In the Mediterranean Sea, periodic summer blooms have been reported and have become a serious ...
