Bioaccumulation and chronic toxicity of arsenic and zinc in the aquatic oligochaetes Branchiura sowerbyi and Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Clitellata)
(Elsevier, 2021-08-28)Oligochaetes feed on bulk sediment and penetrate the sediment through the construction of burrows, making them especially vulnerable to sediment metal contamination. However, the few oligochaete species that have been ... -
Biodiversity of groundwater oligochaetes from a karst unit in northern Iberian Peninsula: ranking subterranean sites for conservation management
(Springer, 2008-03-05)El presente estudio sugiere que la unidad kárstica de Santa Eufemia-Ereñozar en el norte de la Península Ibérica es un hotspot de biodiversidad para los oligoquetos de aguas subterráneas, debido a (1) la presencia de un ... -
Biological Responses and Toxicopathic Effects Elicited in Solea Senegalensis Juveniles by Waterborne Exposure to Benzo[a]pyrene
(Elsevier, 2021-05-11)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are priority contaminants in coastal and estuarine ecosystems under anthropogenic pressure. Although PAHs tend to accumulate in the sediment, toxicity for benthic flat fish such ... -
Biomarker responses in mussels (Mytilus trossulus) from the Baltic Sea exposed to water-accommodated fraction of crude oil and a dispersant at different salinities
(Elsevier, 2023-07)Oil spills pose significant environmental risks, particularly in cold seas. In the Baltic Sea, the low salinity (from 0 to 2 up to 18) affects the behaviour of the spilled oil as well as the efficiency and ecological impacts ... -
BRAF V600E mutational load as a prognosis biomarker in malignant melanoma
(Public Library Science, 2020-03-13)Analyzing the mutational load of driver mutations in melanoma could provide valuable information regarding its progression. We aimed at analyzing the heterogeneity of mutational load of BRAF V600E in biopsies of melanoma ... -
Cell and tissue level responses in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis dietarily exposed to PVP/PEI coated Ag nanoparticles at two seasons
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are present in numerous consumer products due to their antimicrobial and other unique properties, thus concerns about their potential input into aquatic ecosystems are increasing. Toxicity of ... -
Cell Patterning Technology on Polymethyl Methacrylate through Controlled Physicochemical and Biochemical Functionalization
(MDPI, 2023-09-23)In recent years, innovative cell-based biosensing systems have been developed, showing impact in healthcare and life science research. Now, there is a need to design mass-production processes to enable their commercialization ... -

Coastal gradients of small microplastics and associated pollutants influenced by estuarine sources
(Elsevier, 2022)Small microplastics (SMPs) in the gulf of Cadiz was sampled at 5 m depth by pumping it through the ship's pipe system and filtered through a 45 mu m mesh size net. Our study reveals that higher densities have been found ... -
Colorimetric Determination of Glucose in Sweat Using an Alginate-Based Biosystem
(MDPI, 2023-02-28)Glucose is an analyte of great importance, both in the clinical and sports fields. Since blood is the gold standard biofluid used for the analytical determination of glucose, there is high interest in finding alternative ... -
Comparison of the Transcriptional Profiles of Melanocytes from Dark and Light Skinned Individuals under Basal Conditions and Following Ultraviolet-B Irradiation
(Public Library Science, 2015-08-05)We analysed the whole-genome transcriptional profile of 6 cell lines of dark melanocytes (DM) and 6 of light melanocytes (LM) at basal conditions and after ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation at different time points to investigate ... -
Continental data on cave-dwelling spider communities across Europe (Arachnida: Araneae)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2019-10-08)Background Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) are widespread in subterranean ecosystems worldwide and represent an important component of subterranean trophic webs. Yet, global-scale diversity patterns of subterranean spiders ... -
Cosmopolitan Distribution of Endozoicomonas-Like Organisms and Other Intracellular Microcolonies of Bacteria Causing Infection in Marine Mollusks
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-30)Intracellular microcolonies of bacteria (IMC), in some cases developing large extracellular cysts (bacterial aggregates), infecting primarily gill and digestive gland, have been historically reported in a wide diversity ... -
De Novo Genome Assembly of the Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes Procyonoides)
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-29)The raccoon dog, Nyctereutes procyonoides (NCBI Taxonomy ID: 34880, Figure 1a) belongs to the family Canidae, with foxes (genus Vulpes) being their closest relatives (Lindblad-Toh et al., 2005; Sun et al., 2019). Its ... -
Determining diet from faeces: Selection of metabarcoding primers for the insectivore Pyrenean desman ( Galemys pyrenaicus )
(Public Library Science, 2018-12-14)Molecular techniques allow non-invasive dietary studies from faeces, providing an invaluable tool to unveil ecological requirements of endangered or elusive species. They contribute to progress on important issues such as ... -
Developing As and Cu Tissue Residue Thresholds to Attain the Good Ecological Status of Rivers in Mining Areas
(Springer, 2022-03)[EN] The study was performed on residue-effects datasets from polluted and unpolluted sites in the Nalon River basin (northern Spain). The effects were measured in terms of alteration of field macroinvertebrate communities, ... -
Development and validation of a new multiplex for upgrading Y-STRs population databases from 12 to 23 markers and its forensic casework application.
(Nature, 2022-12)Y chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are used in forensic investigations as a useful complementary tool to autosomal markers. The ongoing development of new kits with an increasing number of markers makes it necessary ... -
