Towards a sustainable viticulture: A toxicological, genetic and metabolomic exploration of the mechanism of action of basic substances againts Plasmopara viticola, tha causal agent of downy mildew in grapevine
(2024-01-29)
La vid (Vitis vinifera L.) es un cultivo de gran importancia económica a nivel mundial. Algunas enfermedades pueden infectar la uva y generar la pérdida de la cosecha, generando graves pérdidas económicas. Tal es el caso ...
Using biological traits to assess diet selection: the case of the Pyrenean Desman
(Oxford University Press, 2023-12)
Traditionally, researchers have assessed diet selection by comparing consumed versus available taxa. However, taxonomic assignment is probably irrelevant for predators, who likely base their selection on characteristics ...
Treated and highly diluted, but wastewater still impacts diversity and energy fluxes of freshwater food webs
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have greatly improved water quality globally. However, treated effluents still contain a complex cocktail of pollutants whose environmental effects might go unnoticed, masked by additional ...
Short-term response of macroalgal communities to ocean warming in the Southern Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Climate change is causing significant shifts in biological communities worldwide, including the degradation of marine communities. Previous research has predicted that southern Bay of Biscay canopy-forming subtidal macroalgal ...
Assessing the efficiency of dimethylpyrazole-based nitrification inhibitors under elevated CO2 conditions
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) are useful tools to reduce nitrogen (N) losses derived from fertilization in agriculture. However, it remains unclear whether a future climate scenario with elevated CO2 could affect NIs ...
Food-web energy fluxes, energy transfer efficiency, and diversity respond distinctively to pollution and water diversion in rivers
(Wiley, 2024-03)
Water diversion and pollution are two pervasive stressors for river ecosystems that often co-occur. The individual effects of both stressors on river communities and energy transfer across the food webs are well described; ...
Acquisition of Desiccation Tolerance Unveiled: Polar Lipid Profiles of Streptophyte Algae Offer Insights
(Wiley, 2023-11)
Terrestrialization by photosynthetic eukaryotes took place in the two branches of green microalgae: Chlorophyta and Charophyta. Within the latter, the paraphyletic streptophytic algae divide into two clades. These are named ...
Characterisation of the phytoplankton community of the Urdaibai estuary: influence of anthropogenic nutrient loadings and analysis of monitoring techniques
(2024-02-27)
This thesis aims to obtain a more complete and updated description of the phytoplankton community of the Urdaibai estuary, using different monitoring techniques, to determine the potential effect of the cessation of ...
Functional consequences of biodiversity loss caused by emergent diseases in freshwater cosystems
(2024-03-15)
La biodiversidad de la Tierra está disminuyendo a un ritmo alarmante, con los ecosistemas de agua dulce sufriendo tasas de extinción mayores que los ecosistemas terrestres y marinos. Se sabe que la pérdida de biodiversidad ...
