Differential LTR‑retrotransposon dynamics across polyploidization, speciation, domestication, and improvement of cotton (Gossypium)
(Genome Biology, 2025-10-27)Background Transposable elements are major components of plant genomes and major drivers of plant genome evolution. The cotton genus (Gossypium) is an excellent evolutionary model for polyploidization, ... -
Leveraging Earth Observation Data to Monitor Boat-Based Recreational Fishing
(Fish and Fisheries, 2025-08-27)Recreational fishing is widespread in coastal zones and exerts significant ecological, fisheries-related and socio-economic pressures. Unlike commercial fishing, small-scale recreational fleets are ... -
Is Draeculacephala robinsoni a new threat to European agriculture? A review on the genus Draeculacephala with special focus on their role as vectors of Xylella fastidiosa
(2025-11-10)The recent introduction in Europe of Draeculacephala robinsoni Hamilton (1967), an alien likely vector of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) native to North America, possibly poses a serious threat to European ... -
GIS-Based Approach for Modeling Vineyard and Apple Orchard Suitability in Mountainous Regions
(Land, 2025-10-27)Climate change is expected to negatively impact agricultural production, leading to phenological and metabolic changes, increased water demands, diminished yields, and changed organoleptic characteristics, ... -
Leishmania tarentolae and Leishmania infantum in geckos from Mallorca Island, Spain
(International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2025-09-16)Leishmania tarentolae and Leishmania infantum are two sympatric parasites of significant ecological and epidemiological interest in the Mediterranean basin. This study investigated the PCR prevalence ... -
Effects of landscape complexity on biodiversity of rice agroecosystems: A meta-analysis
(Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 2025-11-26)Agricultural intensification is one of the primary drivers of landscape simplification and biodiversity loss. Understanding how different taxa respond to landscape complexity is key to address the ... -
