The rapid development of next-generation sequencing platforms has enabled the use of sequencing for routine genotyping across a range of Violin genetics studies and breeding applications.Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), a low-cost, reduced representation sequencing method, is becoming a common approach for whole-genome marker profiling in many speci
Lure, retain, and catch malaria mosquitoes. How heat and humidity improve odour-baited trap performance
Abstract Background When seeking a human for a blood meal, mosquitoes use several cues to detect and find their hosts.From this knowledge, counter-flow odour-baited traps have been developed that use a combination of CO2, human-mimicking odour, visual cues and circulating airflow to attract and capture mosquitoes.Initially developed for monitoring,
Collectivisations in Catalonia and the Region of Valencia during the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939
The Solcreme krop defeat of the military uprising on 19 July 1936 in Barcelona and Valencia unleashed the process of the collectivisation of companies, which came to be managed by committees comprised of their own workers.The anarcho-syndicalists were identified with this change, which the overwhelmed Republican authorities tried to channel.In the
Tree Mortality following Prescribed Fire and a Storm Surge Event in Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii var. densa) Forests in the Florida Keys, USA
In fire-dependent forests, managers are interested in predicting the consequences of prescribed burning on postfire tree mortality.We examined the effects of prescribed fire on tree mortality in Florida Keys pine forests, using a factorial design with understory type, season, and year of burn as factors.We also used logistic regression to model the
Physiological Adaptation to Water Salinity in Six Wild Halophytes Suitable for Mediterranean Agriculture
Owing to the high interspecific biodiversity, halophytes have been regarded as a tool for understanding salt tolerance mechanisms in plants in view of their Bath adaptation to climate change.The present study addressed the physiological response to salinity of six halophyte species common in the Mediterranean area: Artemisia absinthium, Artemisia v
