• Establishment of background pollution levels and spatial analysis of moss data on a regional scale 

  Giráldez Suárez, Pablo; Crujeiras Casais, Rosa María; Fernández Escribano, José Ángel; Aboal Viñas, Jesús Ramón (Elsevier, 2022)

  The determination of background pollution levels is fundamental for the interpretation of the results obtained from environmental biomonitoring. In this paper we propose a new probabilistic method, based on a Gaussian ...

• Hiding among holes: mechanisms underlying the evolution of masquerade in flea beetles (Chrysomelidae) 

  Folgar-Cameán, Yeray; Gómez Rodríguez, Carola; Konstantinov, Alexander; Baselga, Andrés (Wiley, 2022)

  1. The herbivorous flea beetles (Chrysomelidae: Alticini) have evolved a masquerading strategy by hiding among their own feeding damage. Similarities between beetle bodies and their feeding damage may act as a defence that ...

• A real-time quantitative PCR assay using hydrolysis probes for monitoring scuticociliate parasites in seawater 

  Sueiro Benavides, Rosa Ana; Lamas Fernández, Jesús; Palenzuela, Oswaldo; Gulías Otero, Paola; Díez-Vives, Cristina; García Ulloa, Alba; Leiro Vidal, José Manuel (Elsevier, 2022)

  Scuticociliatosis is a serious disease that affects flatfish during culture and against which no effective control measures have yet been developed. Monitoring parasite levels in the water may be a valuable way of establishing ...

• Effect of fire factors (smoke, ash, charcoal and heat) on seeds of plant species 

  Cruz de la Fuente, Óscar; Fernández Riveiro, Sheila; Casal Jiménez, María Mercedes; Reyes Ferreira, Otilia (Elsevier, 2022)

  The effect of the main fire factors (smoke, ash, charcoal and heat) can influence the germination of species through their seeds. Hence, a methodology has been devised in order to have a common protocol for those who work ...

• Functional responses to climate change may increase invasive potential of Carpobrotus edulis 

  González Campoy, Josefina; Lema Márquez, Margarita; Fenollosa, Erola; Munné-Bosch, Sergi; Retuerto Franco, José Carlos Rubén (Wiley, 2021)

  Premise: Biological invasions and climate change are major threats to biodiversity. It is therefore important to anticipate how the climate changes projected for Southern Europe would affect the ecophysiological performance ...
