Interpreting genotype-by-environment interaction for biomass production in hybrid poplars under short-rotation coppice in Mediterranean environments
(GCB Bioenergy, 2015-10-20)Understanding genotype 9 environment interaction (GEI) is crucial to optimize the deployment of clonal material to field conditions in short-rotation coppice poplar plantations. Hybrid poplars are grown ... -
Interrelation between gut microbiota, SCFA, and fatty acid composition in pigs
(mSystems, 2023-12-14)The gut microbiota is a key player in the host metabolism. Some bacteria are able to ferment non-digestible compounds and produce short-chain fatty acids that the host can later transform and accumulate ... -
Intra-specific downsizing of frugivores affects seed germination of fleshy-fruited plant species
(Acta Oecologica, 2017-12-06)The loss of largest-bodied individuals within species of frugivorous animals is one of the major consequences of defaunation. The gradual disappearance of large-bodied frugivores is expected to entail ... -
Intraguild aggressiveness between an alien and a native predatory mite
(Systematic and Applied Acarology, 2019-11-07)The predatory mite Amblydromalus limonicus, non-native in Europe, can be used legally in several European countries as greenhouse biocontrol agent against thrips species, although this species is also ... -
Intramuscular fat content in different muscles, locations, weights and genotype-sexes and its prediction in live pigs with computed tomography
(Animal, 2018-08-16)Intramuscular fat (IMF) content depends on sex, genotype and diet and varies with pig growth. The aim of the present work was to determine the evolution of IMF by genotype-sex, muscle and muscle location, ... -
Intramuscular vs. Intradermic Needle-Free Vaccination in Piglets: Relevance for Animal Welfare Based on an Aversion Learning Test and Vocalizations
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021-08-11)The aim of the present study was to compare intramuscular injection with a needle and intradermic needle-free vaccinations against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) in piglets at 28 ... -
Intraspecific structure of the Coregonus lavaretus complex in water bodies of Siberia: a case of postglacial allopatric origin of Yukagirian whitefish
(Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2021-11-05)The results of morphological and genetic analyses of forms/species of the Coregonus lavaretus pidschian (Gmelin, 1789) complex from the Indigirka and Kolyma river basins are presented in the context of ... -
Invasion genetics of the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus): recent anthropogenic introduction in Iberia
(PeerJ, 2019-02-08)Human activities such as trade and transport have increased considerably in the last decades, greatly facilitating the introduction and spread of non-native species at a global level. In the Iberian ... -
Investigating isotopic markers for hazelnut geographical authentication: Promising variables and potential applications
(Food Chemistry, 2024-03-23)Hazelnuts' features and price are influenced by their geographical origin, making them susceptible to fraud, especially counterfeit claims regarding their provenance. Stable isotope analysis is a ... -
Investigation of chronic and persistent classical swine fever infections under field conditions and their impact on vaccine efficacy
(BMC Veterinary Research, 2019-07-15)Background: Recent studies have hypothesized that circulation of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) variants when the immunity induced by the vaccine is not sterilizing might favour viral persistence. ... -
Investigation of Haemophilus parasuis from healthy pigs in China
(Veterinary Microbiology, 2019-02-25)Haemophilus parasuis is a common colonizer of the upper respiratory tract of swine and frequently causes disease, especially in weaner pigs. To date, limited epidemiological data was available for H. ... -
Investigation of the transcriptomic and metabolic changes associated with superficial scald physiology impaired by lovastatin and 1-methylcyclopropene in pear fruit (cv. “Blanquilla”)
(Horticulture Research, 2020-04-01)To elucidate the physiology underlying the development of superficial scald in pears, susceptible “Blanquilla” fruit was treated with different compounds that either promoted (ethylene) or repressed ... -
Iron, heme, and nitrosyl-heme content in Spanish meat derivatives
(Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 2023-11-15)Heme and nitrosyl-heme have been pointed out as responsible for the association between processed meats and cancer. The objective of this study was to obtain reliable data on the current proximate ... -
Is a cannibal different from its conspecifics? A behavioural, morphological, muscular and retinal structure study with pikeperch juveniles under farming conditions
(Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2020-02-05)Cannibalism is defined as the act of killing and consuming the whole, or major part, of an individual belonging to the same species, irrespective of its stage of development. Intra-cohort cannibalism ... -
Is it possible to store spotted wolffish (Anarhichas minor) sperm by refrigeration?
(Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2020-06-02)Spotted wolffish Anarhichas minor reproduction in captivity is dependent on in vitro fertilization. However, it is often challenging to acquire sufficient fresh sperm to fertilize the eggs that are ... -
Is Technical Efficiency Affected by Farmers’ Preference for Mitigation and Adaptation Actions against Climate Change? A Case Study in Northwest Mexico
