Linking fish-based biological indicators with hydrological dynamics in a Mediterranean river: Relevance for environmental flow regimes
(Elsevier, 2018-08-07)
The relationship between flow dynamics and biological communities becomes especially relevant in Mediterranean rivers. Given their natural variability and growing anthropogenic pressures, their low ...
Amplified plasmonic and microfluidic setup for DNA monitoring
(Springer Nature, 2021-09-07)
Plasmonic nanosensors for label-free detection of DNA require excellent sensing resolution, which is crucial when monitoring short DNA sequences, as these induce tiny peak shifts, compared to large ...
The taxonomy and diversity of Proschkinia (Bacillariophyta), a common but enigmatic genus from marine coasts
(Wiley, 2020-04-07)
Detailed morphological documentation is provided for established Proschkinia taxa, including the generitype, P. bulnheimii, and P. complanata, P. complanatula, P. complanatoides and P. hyalosirella, and ...
Habitat and Scale Shape the Demographic Fate of the Keystone Sea Urchin Paracentrotus lividus in Mediterranean Macrophyte Communities
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-20)
Demographic processes exert different degrees of control as individuals grow, and in species that span several habitats and
spatial scales, this can influence our ability to predict their population ...
Automated Patch Clamp for the Detection of Tetrodotoxin in Pufferfish Samples
(MDPI, 2024-04-15)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a marine toxin responsible for many intoxications around the world. Its presence in some pufferfish species and, as recently reported, in shellfish, poses a serious health concern. ...
Drought decreases incorporation of recent plant photosynthate into soil food webs regardless of their trophic complexity
(Wiley, 2019-07-13)
Theory suggests that more complex food webs promote stability and can buffer the effects of perturbations, such as drought, on soil organisms and ecosystem functions. Here, we tested experimentally how ...
First Evidence of the Presence of Anatoxin-A in Sea Figs Associated with Human Food Poisonings in France
(MDPI, 2020-05-29)
From January 2011 to March 2018, 26 patients aged from 20 to 80 years old reported being sick in France after eating sea figs of the genus Microcosmus. The patients had symptoms evoking a cerebellar ...
Evaluation of the occurrence and fate of pesticides in a typical Mediterranean delta ecosystem (EBRO RIVER delta) and risk assessment for aquatic organisms
(Elsevier, 2020-10-14)
Delta ecosystems are areas of high ecologic and economic values, where wildlife commonly shares the territory with intensive agricultural activities, particularly, rice cultivation and seafood production. ...
Adult spawning and early larval development of the endangered bivalve Pinna nobilis
(Elsevier, 2017-10-16)
The development of aquaculture activities has posed an alternative solution for the preservation of some overexploited shellfish fisheries worldwide. In the same way, endemic Mediterranean bivalves such ...
A fast magnetic bead-based colorimetric immunoassay for the detection of tetrodotoxins in shellfish
(Elsevier, 2020-04-05)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin responsible for many food poisoning incidents and some fatalities. Although mainly associated with the consumption of pufferfish, in recent years, TTX has been ...
