Metagenomic survey reveals Volzhskoe tick virus in Hyalomma ticks for the first time in western Europe, North-Eastern Spain
Ticks are reservoirs and vectors of several emerging arboviruses, yet their associated virome remains poorly characterized. Using meta-transcriptomic sequencing, we surveyed Hyalomma marginatum and Rhipicephalus bursa ticks ...
Assessing alternative strategies to control almond red leaf blotch through the reduction of Polystigma amygdalinum inoculum in leaf litter
Background Red leaf blotch (RLB), caused by Polystigma amygdalinum, is a major foliar disease of almond trees in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. While preventive fungicide applications are the main control ...
Towards an attract-and-reward strategy: evaluating nectar resources and HIPVs under laboratory conditions to enhance Aphelinus mali parasitism activity, a key parasitoid of Eriosoma lanigerum
The attract-and-reward strategy involves attracting natural enemies using volatile compounds or insectary plants and rewarding them with refuge and food sources. Plants with accessible nectar and early bloom together with ...
Development of new powdered smoothies agglomerated with polyphenol extracts
Consuming fruits and vegetables through smoothies can contribute to improving current dietary imbalances in the population. Fruit and vegetables have high nutritional value, although they are not stable and can quickly ...
Efficacy of gaseous ozone for the inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in fresh peach and grape juice
Ozonation is an emerging non-thermal technology with potential applications for reducing the microbial load of foods. The present research aimed to evaluate the impact of gaseous ozone treatment on artificially inoculated ...
Vineyard Design, Vine Age, and Floor Management Practices Affect Sentinel-2 NDVI Time Series Analysis of California Vineyards
Background and goals Monitoring vineyards with remote sensing tools is challenging due to the site specificity and difficulty of accurately scaling the technology across large regions. To overcome these challenges, this ...
Global synthesis of apple pollination research highlights general pollen limitation and positive contributions of wild bees compared to honeybees
1. Apple is one of the most important pollinator-dependent fruit crops worldwide. To secure high-quality yields, it is crucial to know which, and to what extent, pollinating insects contribute to its pollination success ...
Exposure of Wild Ruminants to Toxoplasma gondii in Alpine Ecosystems, NE Spain
Abstract. Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite with a complex life cycle that involves warm-blooded animals as intermediate hosts and felids as definitive hosts. Its epidemiology in alpine ecosystems remains poorly ...
Diatoms and macroinvertebrates show distinct metacommunity assembly patterns in temporary rivers
Environmental and spatial filtering are key drivers of metacommunity assembly in streams. Their relative importance may depend on factors such as network connectivity or species’ dispersal abilities. However, studies ...
Incorporating Genomic and Transcriptomic Effects in Joint Linear and Non-Linear Structural Models for Predicting Complex Traits in Pigs
Phenotypes in livestock are shaped by genetic variation as well as downstream regulatory mechanisms, making the prediction of complex traits a key challenge for animal breeding. Transcriptomic data represent an intermediate ...
Moderate electric field-assisted alkaline solubilization of lupin protein
The nutritional quality of lupin is often limited by the presence of anti-nutritional factors (ANF), such as saponins and alkaloids, as well as anti-technological factors (ATF), including fat and polyphenols. This study ...
Andrzej Witkowski was right: Tryblionella compressa is not a Tryblionella
Tryblionella punctata was described by W. Smith in 1853, transferred to Nitzschia by Grunow in 1880, and returned to Tryblionella in 1990 by Round et al., when the genus was restored and 41 species transferred into it ...
Assessing the performance of multi-timescale drought indices for monitoring agricultural drought impacts on wheat yield
Crop yields are increasingly threatened by intensifying droughts in southern Europe, yet the long-term, spatially explicit quantification of yield response to agricultural drought remains limited. Remote sensing can address ...
Revisiting Chilean gorgonians (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Gorgoniidae): taxonomic clarification and molecular phylogeny of Leptogorgia chilensis and Phycogorgia fucata
Most biodiversity studies of eastern Pacific octocorals have focused on the tropical shallow waters from Mexico to Peru, and more recently, on those off Chile. The first description of a Chilean octocoral dates back to the ...
Auxospore fine structure and development in the surirelloid diatom Campylodiscus cf. neofastuosus (Bacillariophyta)
The development of the auxospore is reported in the surirelloid diatom Campylodiscus cf. neofastuosus. As in most pennate diatoms, growth of the auxospore is accompanied and constrained by the formation of a transverse ...
Recombinant production of antimicrobial proteins in bacterial expression systems: Escherichia coli vs. lactic acid bacteria
Background The development of antimicrobial treatments as alternatives to antibiotics to combat antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria is a global priority. Antimicrobial peptides and proteins such as Host Defense Peptides ...
Leishmania tarentolae and Leishmania infantum in geckos from Mallorca Island, Spain
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 of L. tarentolae and ...
Bald disease in a natural population of the purple sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus of the Mediterranean Sea: From spines to tissues
Recently, unusual mortality outbreaks have been reported in the echinoderm populations over broad geographic regions. The present work used different diagnostic approaches to unravel the Bald Sea Urchin Disease (BSUD) ...
CFD application to poultry crate design improving internal airflow velocities
Poultry transport represents a significant animal welfare challenge, particularly when birds are exposed to heat stress during travel, a condition that can compromise physiological stability, performance, and survival. ...
Effects of landscape complexity on biodiversity of rice agroecosystems: A meta-analysis
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 challenge of enhancing ...
