A short exposure to a semi-natural habitat alleviates the honey bee hive microbial imbalance caused by agricultural stress
(Nature, 2022-11)
Honeybee health and the species' gut microbiota are interconnected. Also noteworthy are the multiple niches present within hives, each with distinct microbiotas and all coexisting, which we termed "apibiome". External ...
A Novel Transcriptome-Derived SNPs Array for Tench (Tinca Tinca L.)
(Public Library Science, 2019-03-19)
Tench (Tinca tinca L.) has great economic potential due to its high rate of fecundity and long-life span. Population genetic studies based on allozymes, microsatellites, PCR-RFLP and sequence analysis of genes and DNA ...
Serological and Genetic Evidence for Altered Complement System Functionality in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Findings of the GAPAID Consortium
(Public Library Science, 2016-03-07)
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease with multifactorial ethiopathogenesis. The complement system is involved in both the early and late stages of disease development and organ damage. To better ...
Hygroregulation, a key ability for eusocial insects: Native Western European honeybees as a case study
(Public Library Science, 2019-02-08)
Sociality has brought many advantages to various hymenoptera species, including their ability of regulating physical factors in their nest (e.g., temperature). Although less studied, humidity is known to be important for ...
Macrozooplankton predation impact on anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) eggs mortality at the Bay of Biscay shelf break spawning centre
(Oxford University Press, 2014-11-23)
A real-time PCR based method involving a species-specific probe was applied to detect Engraulis encrasicolus eggs predation by the macrozooplank-
ton community during the 2011 spawning season. Three locations along the ...
A real-time PCR assay to estimate invertebrate and fish predation on anchovy eggs in the Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2014-12-12)
In order to investigate the role of predation on eggs and larvae in the recruitment of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), sardine (Sardina pilchardus), sprat (Sprattus sprattus) and 52 macrozooplankton taxa were assayed for ...
