New Potential Role of European Mouflon (Ovis aries musimon) in the Epidemiology of Border Disease in the Pyrenees
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2023-10-24)
Since 2001, high-mortality outbreaks of border disease (BD) have negatively affected populations of Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica). Studies in the affected areas determined that sympatric ...
Exchange of volatile organic compounds between the atmosphere and the soil
(Springer, 2024-03-06)
Background
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a crucial role in understanding soil ecology and the atmospheric environment. However, the biochemical cycles of VOCs in soil systems and their ...
Diatoms as dandelions: convergent evolution in the reproductive biology of small Nitzschia species (Bacillariophyta) and its possible taxonomic consequences
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2024-03-01)
Nitzschia soratensis and N. inconspicua are two small diatoms that are extremely similar in the light microscope though separable in subtle aspects of valve and girdle ultrastructure. They are not closely ...
β-cyclodextrin polymer as tetrodotoxins scavenger in oyster extracts
(Elsevier, 2024-04-16)
Tetrodotoxins (TTXs) are potent marine neurotoxins involved in poisoning cases in humans after consumption of some marine organisms. A cell-based assay (CBA) providing toxicological information is a ...
Nutrient addition increases insect herbivory in Nothofagus antarctica on North-Patagonian forests
(Elsevier, 2024-02-28)
The change in nutrient availability in the soil can affect key functions of forest ecosystems, such as insect herbivory. Although insect herbivory is particularly relevant because it can impact on the ...
Adiaspiromycoses in wild rodents from the Pyrenees, north-eastern Spain
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2024-04-05)
Adiaspiromycosis is a non-transmissible infectious pulmonary disease caused by the inhalation
of propagules from fungal species belonging to the family Ajellomicetaceae,
especially Emergomyces crescens. ...
Reproductive behaviour and fertilized spawns in cultured Solea senegalensis broodstock co-housed with wild breeders during their juvenile stages
(Elsevier, 2024-05-07)
The reproductive failure of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) cultured males (reared entirely in captivity from egg through to adult) that do not participate in reproductive behaviours to fertilise ...
Modelling of salt uptake for salt content standardization in dry-cured ham
(Elsevier, 2024-04-26)
Salt content standardization in dry-cured ham production is complex as there are many factors that influence salt uptake. The aim of this work was to study and model salt uptake as a function of salting ...
Differentiation between fresh and frozen-thawed mackerel fish using low-cost portable near infrared spectrometry devices
(Elsevier, 2024-05-11)
Mislabelling frozen-thawed fish fillets as fresh is one of the most important fraudulent practices during commercialisation. This study aimed to determine the ability of two portable miniaturised low-cost ...
Reduction of salt content variability of dry-cured ham production using non-invasive technologies in an industrial environment
(Elsevier, 2024-05-15)
Salt content variability of dry-cured ham production is a challenge for the industry since many factors can influence salt uptake during the salting procedure. The aim of this work was to define and ...
