The plant-transpiration response to vapour pressure deficit (VPD) in durum wheat is associated with differential yield performance and specific expression of genes involved in primary metabolism and water transport
The regulation of plant transpiration was proposed as a key factor affecting transpiration efficiency and agronomical adaptation of wheat to water-limited Mediterranean environments. However, to date no studies have related ...
Abnormal Behaviours in Two Captive Brown Bear (Ursus arctos Linnaeus, 1758) Females: Individual Differences and Seasonal Variations [Abnormales Verhalten in zwei gefangen Grizzlybär-Weibchen (Ursus arctos Linnaeus, 1758): einzelne Unterschiede und saisonale Variationen].
Abnormal behaviours are common in captive environmentsthat notsupply the physical and psychological needs of animals. There are animals, like brown bears, more susceptible to develop abnormal behaviours due to their seasonal ...
Testing macroecological abundance patterns: The relationship between local abundance and range size, range position and climatic suitability among European vascular plants
Aim: A fundamental question in macroecology centres around understanding the relationship between species' local abundance and their distribution in geographical and climatic space (i.e. the multi‐dimensional climatic space ...
Dendrochronological study of the avalanche path Canal del Roc Roig: first results of the ALUDEX Project in the Pyrenees
Historical data about ancient avalanches are scarce in the Pyrenees. Dendrochronology can provide new data about past avalanches and their return period, but up to now little research has been carried out with this purpose. ...

Recent updates and developments to plant genome size databases
Two plant genome size databases have been recently updated and/or extended: the Plant DNA C-values database (http://data.kew.org/cvalues), and GSAD, the Genome Size in Asteraceae database (http://www.asteraceaegenomesize.com). ...
The drawdown phase of dam decommissioning is a hot moment of gaseous carbon emissions from a temperate reservoir
Dam decommissioning (DD) is a viable management option for thousands of ageing dams. Reservoirs are great carbon sinks and reservoir drawdown results in important carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions, but we ...
Seed coating with thyme essential oil or Paraburkholderia phytofirmans PsJN strain: Conferring Septoria leaf blotch resistance and promotion of yield and grain isotopic composition in wheat
Septoria leaf blotch (SLB) is considered one of the most devastating diseases affecting global wheat production. Biostimulant application is among the modern approaches in plant protection to overcome the impact of SLB's ...

Phenological patterns in Mediterranean pastures and scrubs of Catalonia
On the basis of two parallel data sets refering to phenological events in open scrubs and pastures at two sites (Balaguer and Vic), the authors present a comprehensive report of the phenology of these Mediterranean ...
A round-trip ticket: the importance of release processes for in-stream nutrient spiraling
Most nutrient-spiraling studies have focused on estimates of gross uptake (Ugross), which show that streams take up dissolved inorganic nutrients very efficiently. However, studies based on estimates of net uptake (Unet) ...
Característiques demogràfiques de dues espècies arvenses pròpies de tipus de cultius diferents
En aquest article es comparen els atributs demografics de dues especies arvenses que tenen el seu optim a diferents tipus de conreu. L'una és Dipfotaxis erucoides (Cruciferae), una herba anual monocarpica que viu al conreus ...
Where Is More Important Than How in Coastal and Marine Ecosystems Restoration
Restoration is considered an effective strategy to accelerate the recovery of biological communities at local scale. However, the effects of restoration actions in the marine ecosystems are still unpredictable.We performed ...
Seroprevalence Dynamics of European Bat Lyssavirus Type 1 in a Multispecies Bat Colony
We report an active surveillance study of the occurrence of specific antibodies to European Bat Lyssavirus Type 1 (EBLV-1) in bat species, scarcely studied hitherto, that share the same refuge. From 2004 to 2012, 406 sera ...
Incorporating in-stream nutrient uptake into river management: Gipuzkoa rivers (basque country, north Spain) as a case study
Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, North Spain) is an industrial region where investments in sanitation and wastewater treatment have improved water quality and partially recovered river biological communities. However, further ...

Development of an autonomous aquarium system for maintaining deep corals
Keeping deep corals alive under optimum water temperature and quality conditions is not an easy task. It is important to achieve a balance among a high-water renewal rate, constant water temperature, flow speed, and nutrient ...
Utility of the MoCA for cognitive impairment screening in long-term psychosis patients
Cognitive impairment is a key feature in patients with psychotic disorders. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a brief tool that has been shown to be effective in identifying mild cognitive impairment and early ...
Assessment of the water chemistry and the macroinvertebrate community changes produced during the creation of the new Llobregat river mouth (Barcelona, NE Spain)
In 1999, a set of coordinated projects and investments whose principal objective was to transform Barcelona into one of the main distribution points of southern Europe resulted in the relocation of the Llobregat River ...
