(Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2023-07-28)Non-invasive technologies could help to guarantee quality standards of canned tuna fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of bench-top (FT-NIR) and low-cost (LC-NIR) near infrared ... -
Agronomic performance and remote sensing assessment of organic and mineral fertilization in rice fields
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023-10-04)Introduction: Rice heavily relies on nitrogen fertilizers, posing environmental, resource, and geopolitical challenges. This study explores sustainable alternatives like animal manure and remote sensing ... -
Neurohypophysial and paracrine vasopressinergic signaling regulates aquaporin trafficking to hydrate marine teleost oocytes
(Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023-08-11)The dual aquaporin (Aqp1ab1/Aqp1ab2)-mediated hydration of marine teleost eggs, which occurs during oocyte meiosis resumption (maturation), is considered a key adaptation underpinning their evolutionary ... -
Extensive literature review on vectors and reservoirs of AHL‐listed pathogens of molluscs
(Wiley, 2023-08-01)On request of the EU Commission theEFSA carried out a ExtensiveLiterature Review (ELR)to provide a list of vector species or reservoirs species of pathogens of fish, crustaceans, and ... -
Reducing Stocking Densities and Using Cooling Systems for More Adapted Pigs to High Temperatures When Reared in Intensive Conditions
(Animals, 2023-07-27)This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of reducing stocking density and using cooling systems to mitigate the negative effects of high temperatures in growing pigs (females and castrated males) ... -
Unravelling the Combined Use of Soil and Microbial Technologies to Optimize Cultivation of Halophyte Limonium algarvense (Plumbaginaceae) Using Saline Soils and Water
(Soil Systems, 2023-08-17)Salt-affected soils have detrimental effects on agriculture and ecosystems. However, these soils can still be used for halophyte (salt-tolerant plants) cultivation using brackish and/or saline water. ... -
Blueberries infected with the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum fioriniae release odors that repel Drosophila suzukii
(Pest Management Science, 2023-08-06)Spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a serious pest of thin-skinned fruits. Alternative methods to control this pest are needed to reduce insecticide use, including new repellents. Previous ... -
Greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation in rice agriculture
(Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 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 ... -
Reproduction of the endangered fan mussel Pinna nobilis under natural and captivity conditions
(Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2023-09-05)1. A mass mortality event that started in 2016 has put the fan mussel Pinna nobilis close to the brink of extinction, leading to the species being classified as Critically Endangered in the Red List of ... -
