Small-scale agricultural grassland management can affect soil fungal community ...
Fox, A; Widmer, F; Barreiro, A; Jongen, M; Musyoki, M; Vieira, Â; Zimmermann, J; Cruz, Cristina; Dimitrova-Mårtensson, L-M; Rasche, F; Silva, LA European transect was established, ranging from Sweden to the Azores, to determine the relative influence of geographic factors and agricultural small-scale management on the grassland soil microbiome. Within each of five countries (factor ‘Country’), which maximized a range of geographic factors, two differing growth condition regions (factor ‘GCR’) were selected: a favorable region with conditions allowing ...
Tetrodotoxins Occurrence in Non-Traditional Vectors of the North Atlantic Water...
Silva, M; Rodríguez, I; Barreiro, A; Kaufmann, M; Neto, A I; Hassouani, M; Sabour, B; Alfonso, A; Botana, L; Vasconcelos, VTetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent alkaloid typically from tropical ecosystems, but in the last decade its presence has been more pronounced in the temperate waters of the Atlantic. In its last scientific opinion, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) stressed the need for data regarding TTX prevalence in European waters. To address EFSA’s concerns, benthic organisms such as mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms a...

Silva, M; Rey, V; Barreiro, A; Kaufmann, M; Neto, A I; Hassouani, M; Sabour, B; Botana, A; Botana, L; Vasconcelos, VParalytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are potent alkaloids of microalgal and cyanobacterial origin, with worldwide distribution. Over the last 20 years, the number of poisoning incidents has declined as a result of the implementation of legislation and monitoring programs based on bivalves. In the summer of 2012 and 2013, we collected a total of 98 samples from 23 different species belonging to benthic and subtidal...
