GWA Analysis for Milk Production Traits in Dairy Sheep and Genetic Support for a QTN Influencing Milk Protein Percentage in the LALBA Gene
(PLoS ONE, 2012-10-18)In this study, we used the Illumina OvineSNP50 BeadChip to conduct a genome-wide association (GWA) analysis for milk production traits in dairy sheep by analyzing a commercial population of Spanish ... -
Fine-root turnover rates of European forests revisited: an analysis of data from sequential coring and ingrowth cores
(Plant and Soil, 2012-07-08)Background and Aims Forest trees directly contribute to carbon cycling in forest soils through the turnover of their fine roots. In this study we aimed to calculate root turnover rates of common ... -
Ecological Factors Driving Avian Influenza Virus Dynamics in Spanish Wetland Ecosystems
(PLoS ONE, 2012-11-12)Studies exploring the ecological interactions between avian influenza viruses (AIV), natural hosts and the environment are scarce. Most work has focused on viral survival and transmission under laboratory ... -
A first insight into peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] SNP variability
(Tree Genetics and Genomes, 2012-06-10)Three factors may have reduced the diversity at both individual gene and whole genome levels in cultivated peach: its self-compatible mating system, the narrow genetic basis of most commercial ... -
Retos y oportunidades para la evaluación del estado ecológico en ríos temporales
(Ecosistemas, 2024-03-06)Los ríos temporales (RTs) son ecosistemas fluviales en los que los efectos de las perturbaciones antrópicas se mezclan con los de la propia perturbación natural que impone la temporalidad del flujo. A ... -
Integrating spatiotemporal hydrological connectivity into conservation planning to protect temporary rivers
(Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2024-03-25)1. Temporary rivers (TRs) have been largely overlooked in conservation assessments. Because TRs are such dynamic ecosystems, spatial and temporal aspects of their hydrology and ecology need to be taken ... -
Diatoms as dandelions: convergent evolution in the reproductive biology of small Nitzschia species (Bacillariophyta) and its possible taxonomic consequences
(Phycologia, 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 ... -
Comparative study of the gut microbial communities collected by scraping and swabbing in a fish model: a comprehensive guide to promote non-lethal procedures for gut microbial studies
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2024-03-22)In the present study, we propose the use of swabs in non-lethal sampling procedures to collect the mucosa-adhered gut microbiota from the posterior intestine of fish, and therefore, we compare the ... -
Development of a new loop-mediated isothermal amplification test for the sensitive, rapid, and economic detection of different genotypes of Classical swine fever virus
(Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2024-04-15)Background: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains one of the most important pathogens in animal health. Pathogen detection relies on viral RNA extraction followed by RT-qPCR. Novel technologies ... -
