EAG responses of adult Lobesia botrana males and females collected from Vitis vinifera and Daphne gnidium to larval host-plant volatiles and sex pheromone
(MDPI, 2019-09-02)We analysed electroantennogram (EAG) responses of male and female adults of the European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana (Denis et Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) collected as larvae from grapevine (Vitis vinifera ... -
Recognition motifs rather than phylogenetic origin influence the ability of targeting peptides to import nuclear-encoded recombinant proteins into rice mitochondria
(Springer Nature, 2019-10-10)Mitochondria fulfil essential functions in respiration and metabolism as well as regulating stress responses and apoptosis. Most native mitochondrial proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and are imported into mitochondria ... -
Globe-LFMC, a global plant water status database for vegetation ecophysiology and wildfire applications
(Springer Nature, 2019-08-21)Globe-LFMC is an extensive global database of live fuel moisture content (LFMC) measured from 1,383 sampling sites in 11 countries: Argentina, Australia, China, France, Italy, Senegal, Spain, South Africa, Tunisia, United ... -
Life after harvest: circadian regulation in photosynthetic pigments of rocket leaves during supermarket storage affects the nutritional quality
(MDPI, 2019-07-04)Vegetables, once harvested and stored on supermarket shelves, continue to perform biochemical adjustments due to their modular nature and their ability to retain physiological autonomy. They can live after being harvested. ... -
Black truffle winter production depends on Mediterranean summer precipitation
(IOP Publishing, 2019-07-01)The unprecedented price inflation of Black truffles, recently exceeding 5000 Euro kg−1 (in Zurich), is a combined result of increasing global demands and decreasing Mediterranean harvests. Since the effects of long-term ... -
Impact of tillage and N fertilization rate on soil N2O emissions in irrigated maize in a Mediterranean agroecosystem
(Elsevier, 2019-09-17)In irrigated Mediterranean conditions there is a lack of knowledge about the best combination of tillage and N fertilization practices to reduce soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions while maintaining maize productivity. The ... -
Tillage and irrigation system effects on soil carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions in a maize monoculture under Mediterranean conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-11-11)Irrigation as well as soil tillage management are considered two possible strategies to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions from the soil in Mediterranean agroecosystems. The objective of this work was ... -
Laboratory tests with Lepidoptera to assess non-target effects of Bt maize pollen: analysis of current studies and recommendations for a standardised design
(Springer Nature, 2019-06-21)Background and approach Common standards for laboratory studies of non-target organisms are recognised as prerequisite to assist the risk assessments regarding the evaluation of environmental effects of transgenic crops. ... -
Arañas epiedáficas (Aranjeae) en plantaciones de melocotoneros del Segrià, el Bajo Cinca y la Litera (España)
(Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa, 2019-06-30)Se analizan los resultados de un muestreo realizado en las comarcas del Segrià (Lérida) y del Bajo Cinca y La Litera (Huesca), desde marzo de 2016 hasta septiembre de 2017, dentro de un proyecto en el que se evaluaba la ... -
Resistance of Spanish codling moth (Cydia pomonella) populations to insecticides and activity of detoxifying enzymatic systems
(The Netherlands Entomological Society, 2011)Resistance of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to insecticides has become a major problem in many apple and pear production areas. Our aim was to determine the level of insecticide resistance ... -
Susceptibility to organophosphate insecticides and activity of detoxifying enzymes in Spanish populations of Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
(Entomological Society of America, 2010)The mechanisms associated with resistance of codling moth (Cydia pomonella (L.)) to organophosphate insecticides in pome fruit orchards have been shown to depend on the area. Our objectives were to evaluate the susceptibility ... -
Three-dimensional antennal lobe atlas of the oriental fruitmoth, Cydia molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): comparison of male and female glomerular organization
(Springer-Verlag, 2009)The oriental fruit moth Cydia molesta is an important pest and the behavioural role of olfactory signals such as pheromones and plant volatiles have been studied extensively in both sexes. To understand odour processing ... -
Are wildfires a threat to fungi in European pinus forests? A case study of Boreal and Mediterranean forests
(MDPI, 2019-04-04)Natural forests and plantations of Pinus are ecologically and economically important worldwide, producing an array of goods and services, including the provision of non-wood forest products. Pinus species play an important ... -
Is it feasible to reduce tillage and N use while improving maize yield in irrigated Mediterranean agroecosystems?
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-05-31)Mediterranean rainfed areas are transformed into irrigation to stabilize or increase crop yields. The gradual occupation of irrigation leads to an increase in nitrogen use and intensity of tillage. The aim of this work was ... -
Benchmarking nitrogen utilisation efficiency in wheat for Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean European regions
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-07-22)Water and temperature stress during critical periods of grain yield formation are distinctive of wheat crops in Mediterranean environments. However, nitrogen (N) availability may also constrain grain yields in these ... -
The Contribution of surrounding margins in the promotion of natural enemies in mediterranean apple orchards
(MDPI, 2019-05-23)(1) Habitat management can enhance beneficial arthropod populations and provide ecosystem services such as biological control. However, the implementation of ecological infrastructures inside orchards has a number of practical ... -
Extremely low neonicotinoid doses alter navigation of pest insects along pheromone plumes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-08-30)The prevailing use of neonicotinoids in pest control has adverse effects on non-target organisms, like honeybees. However, relatively few studies have explored the effect of sublethal neonicotinoid levels on olfactory ... -
