Enhanced diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate predators and biological pest control but reduced crop establishment in organic rice farming
(Elsevier, 2023-08-10)
Organic farming has been adopted as the main alternative to reduce the environmental impact of intensive agriculture by banning the use of synthetic inputs and bolstering key ecological functions such ...
Use of risk assessment and predictive microbiology in regulatory science related to the scientific opinions of the EFSA BIOHAZ Panel
(Elsevier, 2023-06-25)
EFSA's Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ Panel) deals with questions on biological hazards relating to food safety and food-borne diseases. This covers food-borne zoonoses, transmissible spongiform ...
Intercropping of aromatic plants in truffle orchards: short-term effect on extraradical truffle mycelium and aromatic plant growth
(Springer, 2023-06-09)
Background and Aims
Intercropping of truffle-producing trees with aromatic plants is used to improve profitability of truffle orchards during the initial 4–7 years. However, after that period the ...
Validation of the fCAL turbo immunoturbidimetric assay for measurement of calprotectin in porcine and bovine fecal samples
(Elsevier, 2023-10-05)
The concentration of calprotectin in feces is a well-studied marker of gastrointestinal inflammation in humans. However, little is known about fecal calprotectin in farm animals. In this work, we have ...

(Elsevier, 2023-06-21)
New consumer demands have increased the need for improved food processing and new value-added products that meet the latest quality standards. Changes in eating habits may lead to a preference for lower ...
Quantification of camelid cytokine mRNA expression in PBMCs by microfluidic qPCR technology
(Elsevier, 2023-09-17)
Camelids are economically and socially important in several parts of the world and might carry pathogens with
epizootic or zoonotic potential. However, biological research in these species is limited ...
Impact of genetic diversity and antibiotic-resistance of Salmonella isolated from feral cats: One Health approach
(Elsevier, 2023-08-29)
Free-living cats usually live in colonies in urban areas, especially close to parks and neighbourhoods where
people feed them without any sanitary control. This can pose a human, animal and environmental ...
Selecting Suitable Behavioural Tests to Identify Proactive and Reactive Stress Coping Styles in Flathead Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus) Juveniles
(Elsevier, 2023-06-09)
Identifying Stress Coping Styles (SCS) in new species of interest for aquaculture has important implications for its future domestication and adaptation to captivity. Individual variability allows to ...
New insights into early biochemical prediction of internal browning disorder in 'Conference' pears
(Elsevier, 2023-09-28)
This study aimed to identify markers in pear capable of predicting the development of internal browning disorder (IBD) at harvest or during early storage. ´Conference´ pears were harvested from different ...
An insect’s energy bar: the potential role of plant guttation on biological control
(Elsevier, 2023-11-07)
Plant guttation is an exudation fluid composed of xylem and phloem sap secreted at the margins of leaves of many agricultural crops. Although plant guttation is a widespread phenomenon, its effect on ...
