Influence on the implementation of biosecurity measures in dairy cattle farms: Communication between veterinarians and dairy farmers
(Elsevier, 2021-03-18)
This study was carried out in two regions in Spain (Catalonia and Galicia) through eight focus groups; four for dairy farmers and four for veterinarians. The results showed that dairy farmers and ...
Ethylene and abscisic acid play a key role in modulating apple ripening after harvest and after cold-storage
(Elsevier, 2022-03-19)
An autocatalytic burst in ethylene production generally accompanies ripening of detached apple fruit. However, if apples are left to ripen attached to the tree, some cultivars, will not experience this ...
A matter of body weight and sex type: Pig carcass chemical composition and pork quality
(Elsevier, 2022-12-16)
This study compares minced carcass chemical composition and meat quality of castrated (CM), immunocastrated (IM) and entire male (EM), and female (FE) pigs at 70, 100 and 120 kg target body weights (TBW) ...
Determinants of the current and future distribution of the West Nile virus mosquito vector Culex pipiens in Spain
(Elsevier, 2020-06-23)
Changes in environmental conditions, whether related or not to human activities, are continuously modifying the geographic distribution of vectors, which in turn affects the dynamics and distribution ...
Rapid detection of ciguatoxins in Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa with immunosensing tools
(Elsevier, 2020-08-05)
Consumption of seafood contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs) leads to a foodborne disease known as ciguatera. Primary producers of CTXs are epibenthic dinoflagellates of the genera Gambierdiscus and ...
Targeted policy proposals for managing spontaneous forest expansion in the Mediterranean
(Wiley, 2020-10-15)
Recent forest expansion in Euro‐Mediterranean countries predominantly results from secondary succession in abandoned farmland, rather than from artificial afforestation. This major forest transition ...
Fruit abundance and trait matching determine diet type and body condition across frugivorous bird populations
(Wiley, 2021-04-12)
Research on seed‐dispersal mutualisms has been highly unbalanced towards the plants, largely overlooking the fitness effects of fruit resources on frugivorous animals. Moreover, despite morphological ...
A comprehensive study on the main physiological and biochemical changes occurring during growth and on-tree ripening of two apple varieties with different postharvest behaviour
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)
Apple quality and the storage potential likely depend on a range of physiological and biochemical events occurring throughout fruit development and ripening. In this study, we investigated the major ...
Strategies to reduce microbial risk and improve quality of fresh andprocessed strawberries: A review
(Elsevier, 2019-01-03)
Strawberries are one of the most important fruits in the Mediterranean diet and have been widely investigated for their nutritional and nutraceutical properties. Concern about the safety of fresh and ...
Ammonia volatilisation from pig slurry and ANS with DMPP applied to Westerwold ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam., cv. Trinova) under Mediterranean conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-03-19)
Ammonia volatilisation from agriculture represents an important nitrogen (N) loss which has both environmental and economic impacts. In regions where large amounts of manures are available, there is a ...
