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 ...
Implementing the livelihood resilience framework: An indicator-based model for assessing mountain pastoral farming systems
(Elsevier, 2022-03-25)
Ongoing decreases in family farms and livestock numbers in European mountain areas are linked to
multiple interconnected challenges. The continuity of such farms concerns society at large since they ...
Greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation in rice agriculture
(Springer Nature, 2023-09-26)
Rice paddies supply half the global population with staple food, but also account for ~48% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from croplands. In this Review, we outline the characteristics of GHG emissions ...
Untangling the role of ethylene beyond fruit development and ripening: A physiological and molecular perspective focused on the Monilinia-peach interaction
(Elsevier, 2022-04-14)
It is already well known that ethylene plays a crucial role in peach fruit growth and ripening, by triggering an unset of biochemical and physiological changes that finally make the fruit attractive for ...
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 ...
Brown rot on stone fruit: from epidemiology studies to the development of effective control strategies
(Elsevier, 2022-04-23)
In the last years, our research has focused on the study of brown rot on stone fruit caused by Monilinia spp. in the ‘Valle del Ebro’ (Spain). The epidemiology of this disease was thoroughly investigated ...
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 ...
Vibrio eleionomae sp. nov., isolated from shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) pond water
(Microbiology Society, 2023-05-11)
A novel Vibrio strain (CAIM 722T=SW9T=DSM 24596T) was isolated in 2003 from water of a shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) culture pond located in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, and taxonomically characterized using ...
Ecological and evolutionary drivers of phenotypic and genetic variation in the European crabapple [Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill.], a wild relative of the cultivated apple
(Oxford University Press, 2023-05-06)
Background and Aims
Studying the relationship between phenotypic and genetic variation in populations distributed across environmental gradients can help us to understand the ecological and evolutionary ...
