A rapid and simple method for constructing stable mutants of Acinetobacter baumannii
(BMC, 2010)Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug-resistant bacterium responsible for nosocomial infections in hospitals worldwide. Study of mutant phenotypes is fundamental for understanding gene function. The methodologies ... -
Rare failures of DNA bar codes to separate morphologically distinct species in a biodiversity survey of Iberian leaf beetles
(PLOS, 2013)During a survey of genetic and species diversity patterns of leaf beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) assemblages across the Iberian Peninsula we found a broad congruence between morphologically delimited species and variation ... -
Redescripción y caracterización ecológica de dos especies del género Hymedesmia (Porifera, Poecilosclerida) procedentes de las costas de Galicia (NW de la Península Ibérica)
(Universidade de Santiago de Compostela. Servizo de Publicacións e Intercambio Científico, 1997) -
Redescription of some species of Bryozoa described by J. Jullien and L. Calvet in the NE Atlantic
(Consortium of European Natural History Museums, 2015)Five species described by Jullien and/or Calvet from the NE Atlantic are redescribed and stabilized by typification: Hippothoa amoena, Schizoporella confusa, S. jullieni, S. ovum and Smittia guernei. Three new synonymies ... -
Remotely Sensed Variables of Ecosystem Functioning Support Robust Predictions of Abundance Patterns for Rare Species
(MDPI, 2019)Global environmental changes are affecting both the distribution and abundance of species at an unprecedented rate. To assess these effects, species distribution models (SDMs) have been greatly developed over the last ... -
Reproductive performance of captive Senegalese sole, Solea senegalensis, according to the origin (wild or cultured) and gender
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2019)Aim of study: The reproductive performance over a five year period in three different sole broodstocks: wild males with cultured females (WM), cultured males with wild females (CM), and a control of cultured males and ... -
Restaurando la funcionalidad de los ecosistemas: la importancia de las interacciones entre especies
(Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre, 2019)La restauración de los ecosistemas naturales se ha centrado tradicionalmente en recuperar la riqueza específica, en un intento por recobrar la funcionalidad ecosistémica. Sin embargo, las especies que conforman la comunidad ... -
Revealing beta-diversity patterns of breeding bird and lizard communities on inundated land-bridge islands by separating the turnover and nestedness components
(PLOS, 2015)Beta diversity describes changes in species composition among sites in a region and has particular relevance for explaining ecological patterns in fragmented habitats. However, it is difficult to reveal the mechanisms if ... -
RNA-seq analysis of early enteromyxosis in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus): new insights into parasite invasion and immune evasion strategies
(Elsevier, 2016)Enteromyxum scophthalmi, an intestinal myxozoan parasite, is the causative agent of a threatening disease for turbot (Scophthalmus maximus, L.) aquaculture. The colonisation of the digestive tract by this parasite leads ... -
RNA-seq analysis reveals significant transcriptome changes in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) suffering severe enteromyxosis
(BMC, 2014)Background: Enteromyxosis caused by the intestinal myxozoan parasite Enteromyxum scophthalmi is a serious threat for turbot (Scophthalmus maximus, L.) aquaculture, causing severe catarrhal enteritis leading to a ... -
Sensory and Physicochemical Analysis of Meat from Bovine Breeds in Different Livestock Production Systems, Pre-Slaughter Handling Conditions, and Ageing Time
(MDPI, 2020)Different bovine breeds and production systems are used worldwide, giving rise to differences in intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of beef. In order to meet the consumer requirements, new approaches are currently ... -
Serotonin inhibits axonal regeneration of identifiable descending neurons after a complete spinal cord injury in lampreys
(The Company of Biologists, 2019-02-20)Classical neurotransmitters are mainly known for their roles as neuromodulators, but they also play important roles in the control of developmental and regenerative processes. Here, we used the lamprey model of spinal cord ... -
Signatures of selection for bonamiosis resistance in European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis): New genomic tools for breeding programs and management of natural resources
(Wiley, 2019)The European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) is a highly appreciated mollusk with an important aquaculture production throughout the 20th century, in addition to playing an important role on coastal ecosystems. Overexploitation ... -
Sobre la presencia de Tricellaria inopinata d’Hondt y Occhipinti Ambrogi, 1985 (Bryozoa, Chellostomatida) en el litoral gallego (NO España)
(Universidade de Santiago de Compostela. Servizo de Publicacións e Intercambio Científico, 2001) -
Spatial and environmental correlates of species richness and turnover patterns in European cryptocephaline and chrysomeline beetles
(Pensoft Publishers, 2016-06-09)Despite some general concordant patterns (i.e. the latitudinal richness gradient), species richness and composition of different European beetle taxa varies in different ways according to their dispersal and ecological ... -
Strategy towards Replacing Pork Backfat with a Linseed Oleogel in Frankfurter Sausages and Its Evaluation on Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Sensory Characteristics
(MDPI, 2019)Different health institutions from western countries ha–ve recommended a diet higher in polyunsaturated fats, especially of the n-3 family. However, this is not a trivial task, especially for meat-processing sectors. The ... -
Taxonomy-based differences in feeding guilds of fish
(Oxford Univesity Press, 2020)It has been taken for granted that feeding guilds and behavior in animals are linked to the taxonomic relatedness of species, but empirical evidence supporting such relationship is virtually missing. To examine the importance ... -
Temporal beta diversity of bird assemblages in agricultural landscapes: land cover change vs. stochastic processes
(PLOS, 2015)Temporal variation in the composition of species assemblages could be the result of deterministic processes driven by environmental change and/or stochastic processes of colonization and local extinction. Here, we analyzed ... -
