Evaluation and sensitivity analysis of diatom DNA metabarcoding for WFD bioassessment of Mediterranean rivers
(Elsevier, 2020-04-04)
Our study of 164 diatom samples from Catalonia (NE Spain) is the first to evaluate the applicability of DNA metabarcoding, based on high throughput sequencing (HTS) using a 312-bp rbcL marker, for ...
Presence of CTXs in moray eels and dusky groupers in the marine environment of the Canary Islandsds
(Elsevier, 2020-01-31)
Local population frequently consumes moray eels and dusky groupers from the Canary Islands. These species are top predators and the interactions between them include predation but also, in some cases, ...
Comparison of phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance patterns associated with Staphylococcus aureus mastitis in German and Danish dairy cows
(American Dairy Science Association, 2020-02-20)
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens associated with bovine mastitis in Germany and Denmark. Successful therapy is strongly linked to the susceptibility of the pathogen to the ...
Physiological processes modulate acute and chronic responses to dietary protein/energy ratio fluctuations in individuals and families of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) selected for variable growth rates
(Elsevier, 2020-01-31)
A range of phenotypes differing in growth rate were designed in the Manila clam by combining separate breeding families with size segregation within each family to constitute fast and slow growing groups. ...
Genetic analysis of functional longevity in a complete diallel crossing experiment involving four maternal rabbit lines
(Wiley, 2020-10-26)
In a diallel cross between four maternal lines of rabbits, the four maternal lines and the corresponding crossbred females (does) were evaluated concerning functional longevity, estimating their ...
Driving factors of biogeographical variation in seagrass herbivory
(Elsevier, 2020-11-25)
Despite the crucial role of herbivory in shaping community assembly, our understanding on biogeographical patterns of herbivory on seagrasses is limited compared to that on terrestrial plants. In ...
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 ...
Infectivity and pathobiology of H7N1 and H5N8 high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses for pigeons (Columba livia var. domestica)
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-11-23)
Avian influenza (AI) is one of the most important viral diseases in poultry, wildlife and humans. Available data indicate that pigeons play a minimum role in the epidemiology of AI. However, a degree ...
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. ...
Addressing the analytical challenges for the detection of ciguatoxins using an electrochemical biosensor
(American Chemical Society, 2020-03-05)
The importance of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in seafood safety and their emerging occurrence in locations far away from tropical areas highlight the need for simple and low-cost methods for the sensitive and ...
