The expression of Neuritin-1 (NRN1), a neurotrophic factor crucial for neurodevelopment and synaptic plasticity, is enhanced by the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Although the receptor of NRN1 remains unclear, ...
Global warming is profoundly reshaping biodiversity. Until now, most research has focused on the impacts of extreme temperature events. However, in many ecosystems, it is becoming increasingly apparent that climate change ...
Aims Ellenberg-type indicator values are expert-based rankings of plant species according to their ecological optima on main environmental gradients. Here we extend the indicator-value system proposed by Heinz Ellenberg ...
Downy mildew is one of the most severe diseases affecting cucumber cultivation in both field and greenhouse environments. Early detection is crucial for implementing effective management strategies to minimize or prevent ...
Progress in high-throughput phenotyping and genomics provides the potential to under-stand the genetic basis of plant functional differentiation. We developed a semi-automaticmethodology based on unmanned aerial vehicle ...
Wheat grain quality characteristics have experienced increasing attention as a central factor affecting wheat end-use products quality and human health. Nonetheless, in the last decades a reduction in grain quality has ...
Understanding animal ecology requires knowing what animals do. GPS devices provide detailed insights into space use, but they lack behavioural information until recent advancements in accelerometry have bridged this gap. ...
<p>Background: The Monachinae, or southern seals, are one of two subfamilies within the Phocidae and are home</p><p>to iconic pinnipeds such as the leopard seal, a fierce Antarctic top predator, and the Mediterranean monk ...
Pollination is crucial for biodiversity and food security. Heterogeneous agricultural landscapes have a positive effect on pollinator abundance and enhance crop production and quality. In this study, we explored the effects ...
Hot water recirculation systems (HWRS) in hotels and nursing homes, which are common in countries such as Spain, have been related to outbreaks of legionellosis. To establish the relationships of microbial and physicochemical ...
Culturally, chelonians are important sources of nutrition and income for rural and urban people in tropical rainforests, but urban trade can cause declines in wild populations. This study analyses the urban chelonian trade ...
Oil has been extracted from the Western Amazon since the 1920s, leading to severe environmental contamination due to frequent occurrence oil spills and the dumping of produced water. Local inhabitants, along with environmental ...
In biodiversity hotspots like rocky outcrops, species distribution is shaped by environmental factors at multiple scales, with microhabitat characteristics like substrate composition and shelter playing key roles. These ...
Seed production is vital for plant recruitment, shaped by tree traits, climate, and biotic pressures. Droughts can strongly affect reproductive processes, with cascading effects on squirrels. Their feeding behaviour responds ...
Resum: Les molleres pirinenques, aiguamolls d’alta muntanya, han estat pasturades des d’antic. Actualment són freqüents les molleres amb símptomes de sobrepastura, sobretot per la freqüentació de ramats bovins. La sobrepastura ...
Our understanding on the role of introduction pathways on plant invasions is incomplete because their interaction with other factors remains poorly studied. We contributed to filling this knowledge gap, by analysing temporal ...
Most rivers in developed regions receive tertiary-treated effluents from wastewater treatment plants that still contain a complex mixture of pollutants, but their combined effects on food webs are poorly understood. We had ...
We present here the results of the first semi-quantitative survey of arachnids conducted on coastal dunes of Spain. We used the optimized COBRA protocol to sample two localities along the Valencian coast. We collected 2886 ...
<p>Climate change is leading to species redistributions. In the tundra biome,</p><p>shrubs are generally expanding, but not all tundra shrub species will benefit</p><p>from warming. Winner and loser species, and the ...
