Differential tissue development compromising the growth rate and physiological performances of mussel
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
Differences in the food acquisition rates and in the energetic costs of metabolism seem to affect the growth rate variability of mussels. The aim of this study was to analyze if the physiological performances responsible ...
Effects of microplastics alone or with sorbed oil compounds from the water accommodated fraction of a North Sea crude oil on marine mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(Elsevier, 2022-12-10)
Microplastics (MPs) can adsorb persistent organic pollutants such as oil hydrocarbons and may facilitate their transfer to organisms (Trojan horse effect). The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a 21 day dietary ...
Mites (Oribatida and Mesostigmata) and vegetation as complementary bioindicators in peatlands
(Elsevier, 2022-12-10)
Vegetation is widely used in the assessment of the quality of peatlands, while the invertebrate fauna of peatlands is relatively poorly studied. We compared the bioindicator values of vegetation with two arthropod groups ...
Lipidomic analysis of mussel hemocytes exposed to polystyrene nanoplastics
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Plastics production and usage has exponentially increased in the last decades around the world. Due to the insufficient waste management, a significant amount of plastic ends up in the environment, where they tend to ...
Integrating a life cycle perspective in the exposure and impact assessment of conventional and emergingpollutants: case studies on biocides and engineered nanomaterials
(2022-07-11)
The main objective of the present thesis has consisted in implementing a life cycle-oriented perspective when assessing the risks associated to synthetic chemicals including biocides and engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) as ...
Molecular phylogeny of the genus Chondrina (Gastropoda, Panpulmonata, Chondrinidae) in the Iberian Peninsula.
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
[EN] Chondrina Reichenbach, 1828 is a highly diverse genus of terrestrial molluscs currently including 44 species with about 28 subspecific taxa. It is distributed through North Africa, central and southern Europe, from ...
Mycobacteria at the wildlife-livestock interface of the Basque Country. Contributing to the picture of northern Iberian Peninsula.
(2022-06-23)
El género Mycobacterium engloba más de 200 especies de micobacterias que se pueden encontrar tanto en el medio ambiente como en los animales y en el ser humano. Algunos de estos microorganismos pueden causar enfermedades ...
Biota quality criteria for metals to protect freshwater maccroinvertebrate assemblages in the Cantabrian region.
(2022-06-17)
Los metales y metaloides están presentes de forma natural en el medioambiente y muchos de ellos son esenciales para la supervivencia de los seres vivos. El ser humano ha extraído metales a lo largo de la historia para su ...
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, ...
New records of Xenanoetus species (Astigmata: Histiostomatidae) in Western Europe, and their association with pig carcasses
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] The genus Xenanoetus Mahunka, 1969, only described by the hypopial stage, is characterised by an enlarged gnathosoma, the presence of double claws in legs I, II and III in addition to remarkably broadened femur and ...
