Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides in the blood of obligate and facultative European avian scavengers
(Elsevier, 2022)The widespread use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) and their high persistence in animal tissues has led to these compounds becoming ubiquitous in rodent-predator-scavenger food webs. Exposure to ... -
Revealing genomic insights of the unexplored porcine pathogen actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae using whole genome sequencing
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022)Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) is the causative agent of pleuropneumonia in pigs, one of the most relevant bacterial respiratory diseases in the swine industry. To date, 19 serotypes have been described based on ... -
Scavenging in changing environments: woody encroachment shapes rural scavenger assemblages in Europe
(Wiley, 2022)Rural abandonment and subsequent vegetation regeneration (‘passive rewilding') are expected to increase worldwide, producing cascades of dynamic socioeconomic, landscape and biological changes. Although landscape characteristics ... -
Organic mulches as an alternative to conventional under-vine weed management in Mediterranean irrigated vineyards
(MDPI, 2022)Vineyard growth and grape yield can be significantly reduced by weeds, especially when these are located in the under-vine zone. Traditional weed management consists of recurrent tillage, which is associated with soil ... -
Firmness and cell wall changes during maturation of ‘Arbequina’ olive fruit: the impact of irrigation
(MDPI, 2022)The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) has been cultivated around the Mediterranean basin since ancient times, ‘Arbequina’ being one of the most widely grown varieties. To improve the knowledge on ripening-related firmness ... -
Host genotype interacts with aerial spore communities and influences the needle mycobiome of Norway spruce
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2022)The factors shaping the composition of the tree mycobiome are still under investigation. We tested the effects of host genotype, site, host phenotypic traits, and air fungal spore communities on the assembly of the fungi ... -
Life cycle assessment of the inclusion of phase change materials in lightweight buildings
(Elsevier, 2022)This research evaluates environmental impact of including phase change materials in the envelope of lightweight buildings constructed off-site with dimensions 2.5 × 2.5 × 2.43 m3, located in the cities of Antofagasta and ... -
Spatial predictions of human and natural-caused wildfire likelihood across Montana (USA)
(MDPI, 2022)Spatial wildfire ignition predictions are needed to ensure efficient and effective wildfire response, and robust methods for modeling new wildfire occurrences are ever-emerging. Here, ignition locations of natural and ... -
Rendered-protein hydrolysates as a low-cost nitrogen source for the fungal biotransformation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural
(MDPI, 2022)first_page settings Order Article Reprints Open AccessArticle Rendered-Protein Hydrolysates as a Low-Cost Nitrogen Source for the Fungal Biotransformation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural by Diana Cosovanu 1, Alberto Millán ... -
Effect of the curing process on the thermomechanical properties of calcium aluminate cement paste under thermal cycling at high temperatures for thermal energy storage applications
(Elsevier, 2022-11-09)Future perspectives to improve the energy efficiency of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants are focused on increasing temperatures above 600 ◦C. Among the different components of a CSP plant, the thermal energy storage ... -
Trajectories of wildfire behavior under climate change. Can forest management mitigate the increasing hazard?
(Elsevier, 2022)Mediterranean forests and fire regimes are closely intertwined. Global change is likely to alter both forest dynamics and wildfire activity, ultimately threatening the provision of ecosystem services and posing greater ... -
Soluble RAGE in COPD, with or without coexisting obstructive sleep apnoea
(BMC, 2022)Background: Hypoxia can reduce the levels of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE), a new anti-infammatory biomarker of COPD. We assessed sRAGE in patients with hypoxia-related diseases such as COPD, ... -
Absence of Gradients and Nernstian Equilibrium Stripping (AGNES): An Electroanalytical Technique for Chemical Speciation: A Tutorial Review
(MDPI, 2022)Free metal ion concentrations of amalgamating elements such as Zn, Cd, In, or Pb can be determined with absence of gradients and Nernstian equilibrium stripping(AGNES) in a variety of matrices, ranging from seawater to ... -
Severity of COVID‑19 cases in the months of predominance of the Alpha and Delta variants

Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of pulmonary functional sequelae in ARDS- secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection
(Elsevier, 2022)Background: Up to 80% of patients surviving acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to SARS-CoV- 2 infection present persistent anomalies in pulmonary function after hospital discharge. There is a limited ... -
Assessing mammal trapping standards in wild boar drop‑net capture
(Springer Nature, 2022)Applying contemporary trapping standards when managing wildlife should no longer be an option, but a duty. Increasing wild boar populations originate a growing number of conflicts and hunting is the only cost-effective ... -
Silvicultural management and altitude prevail on soil properties and fungal community in shaping understorey plant communities in a Mediterranean pine forest
(Elsevier, 2022)Understorey vegetation plays a key role in Mediterranean forest ecosystem functioning. However, we still lack a thorough understanding of the patterns and drivers of understorey composition and diversity. As a result, ... -
Railroad integration and uneven development on the European periphery, 1870-1910
(Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Social Science History Association, 2021-06-05)This study explores the relationship between railroad integration and regional development on the European periphery between 1870 and 1910, based on a regional dataset including 291 spatial units. Railroad integration is ... -
UAV-LiDAR and RGB Imagery Reveal Large Intraspecific Variation in Tree-Level Morphometric Traits across Different Pine Species Evaluated in Common Gardens
