(Animals, 2020-09-17)A 60-day trial was conducted in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry (initial weight = 2.5 ± 0.6 g) to evaluate the potential use of a bacterial single-cell protein (SCP) as an alternative protein ... -
Environmental flows in the lower Ebro River and Delta: Current status and guidelines for a holistic approach
(Water, 2020-09-24)Deltas are a particular type of estuarine system in which the dependence on river flow (water, sediments and nutrients) is very strong, especially in river-dominated deltas such as the Mediterranean ... -
Transfer of manure from livestock farms to crop fields as fertilizer using an ant inspired approach
(ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020-08-03)Intensive livestock production might have a negative environmental impact, by producing large amounts of animal excrements, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate nearby water bodies with ... -
Sellaphora mayrii (Bacillariophyceae), a new diatom from the Argentinean Patagonia
(Phytotaxa, 2020-03-26)A new species of Sellaphora was found in modern and fossil sediments from shallow-lake Laguna Gemelas Este, Santa Cruz, Argentina. The new taxon was studied with light microscopy and scanning electron ... -
Targeted policy proposals for managing spontaneous forest expansion in the Mediterranean
(Journal of Applied Ecology, 2020-10-15)Recent forest expansion in Euro‐Mediterranean countries predominantly results from secondary succession in abandoned farmland, rather than from artificial afforestation. This major forest transition ... -
Improved culture enrichment broth for isolation of Arcobacter-like species from the marine environment
(Scientific Reports, 2020-09-03)Arcobacter-like species are found associated with many matrices, including shellfish in marine environments. The culture media and conditions play a major role in the recovery of new Arcobacter-like ... -
Conservation of native wild ivory-white olives from the MEDES islands natural reserve to maintain virgin olive oil diversity
(Antioxidants, 2020-10-17)Food diversity, and in particular genetic diversity, is being lost at an alarming rate. Protection of natural areas is crucial to safeguard the world’s threatened species. The Medes Islands (MI), ... -
A Single-Tube HNB-Based Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for the Robust Detection of the Ostreid herpesvirus 1
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020-09-09)The Ostreid herpesvirus 1 species affects shellfish, contributing significantly to high economic losses during production. To counteract the threat related to mortality, there is a need for the development ... -
Recovery of phosphorus from waste water profiting from biological nitrogen treatment: Upstream, concomitant or downstream precipitation alternatives
(Agronomy, 2020-07-18)Mined phosphate rock is the largest source of phosphorus (P) for use in agriculture and agro-industry, but it also is a finite resource irregularly distributed around the world. Alternatively, waste ... -
