- Abstract:
- ... Telomeres are evolutionarily conserved sequences capping the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes that usually shorten at each cell division, as well as under stressful living conditions. For this reason, telomere length (TL) has been considered as a proxy of age and stress for decades. Globally, most ecological and biology researches have used TL to assess the impact of specific life history tra ...

- Abstract:
- ... BACKGROUND: Zoonotic leishmaniosis, caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum, is a public and animal health problem in Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East and the Mediterranean Basin. Several phlebotomine sand fly species from the subgenus Larroussius are vectors of L. infantum. Data from dogs living in endemic areas of leishmaniosis advocate the use of antibody response to phlebot ...

- Abstract:
- ... Controlling the temperature inside a greenhouse during the summer is a problem of increasing importance in the Mediterranean countries, especially in the Spanish southeast. The metabolic profile of greenhouse tomatoes and leaves grown under conventional conditions and within the presence of a shade mesh (∼50% reduction of sunlight radiation) has been monitored. Tomatoes were weekly harvested from ...

- Abstract:
- ... Increasing drought conditions in Mediterranean countries are negatively impacting the survival and productivity of Castanea sativa Mill. The study aimed to select EST-SSR markers associated with drought stress developed in Quercus spp. and evaluate their transferability and polymorphism in C. sativa. Eight EST-SSR markers were selected to examine the adaptive potential of four wild populations of ...

- Abstract:
- ... Aquatic wildlife is exposed through trophic transfer of hazardous substances to several threats inducing physiological impairments. We aimed at assessing the impact of contamination in one of the hot spots of pollution along Mediterranean coasts, the gulf of Gabes in Tunisia, on Common tern Sterna hirundo, a piscivorous top predator bird. Firstly, we compared the reproductive effort of breeding ad ...

- Abstract:
- ... The wedge clam Donax trunculus is commonly used in environmental monitoring studies as sentinel species for the biomonitoring of sandy beaches in Mediterranean areas. Taking in account the combined effects of chemical stressors and global changes in marine organisms, research efforts in ecotoxicology should be up-to-date for a more relevant and integrative monitoring studies. In the same context, ...

- Abstract:
- ... The overexploitation of the farmlands in the Mediterranean region contributes to an overuse of herbicides that have the potential to pollute surrounding aquatic systems, like the Mondego estuary, located near the city of Figueira da Foz (Portugal). Primextra® Gold TZ is the most-used herbicide in this area and it is constituted by two main active ingredients, S-metolachlor (SMOC) and terbuthylazin ...
