Domestication provides durum wheat with protection from locust herbivory

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Comparing ancestor and modern accessions of tetraploid wheat herbivory from locusts show that domestication provides protection, associated with higher leaf toughness and nitrogen excess for locusts. Abstract Lower plant resistance to herbivores following domestication has been suggested as the main cause for higher feeding damage in crops than in wild

Update of environmental risk assessment conclusions and risk management recommendations of EFSA (2016) on EU teosinte

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Teosinte, wild maize relatives originating from Mexico and Central America, emerged as a noxious agricultural weed in France and Spain. In 2016, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a technical report that assessed the available scientific information on teosinte for its relevance for the environmental risk assessment (ERA) and ...

Polymorphic fingerprint as an approach to authenticate Iberian pig categories

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 98, Issue 11, Page 1093-1105, November 2021., 2021
Abstract High‐commercial‐value products are often susceptible to food fraud. Among them, Iberian dry‐cured ham is highly appreciated due to its particular and sensory, but also nutritional, properties. There are four different Iberian ham categories (namely bellota, recebo, cebo de campo and cebo), which directly depend on the rearing system of the pig

Advanced Multifunctional Oil Structurants for Sustainable Lubricants Engineered by Electrospinning Lignin/Cellulose Acetate Butyrate Nanofibers and TiO2 Atomic Layer Deposition

Small Structures, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2025.
This work investigates the potential of electrospun nanofibers derived from kraft lignin and cellulose acetate–butyrate as structuring agents for vegetable oils and their modification with TiO2 by means of atomic layer deposition to impart remarkably tribological properties, featuring a new generation of efficient, multifunctional and eco‐friendly ...

Reduction in mutualistic ant aggressive behavior upon sugar supplementation

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 6, November 2024.
We measured the effects of sugar supplementation on ant protective behavior in the ant‐plant mutualism between Triplaris americana and Pseudomyrmex dendroicus. We tested four hypotheses: three which predict ants will attack intruding herbivores more often (“deficit”, “fuel for foraging”, “predictable rewards”) when an alternative sugar source is ...

Oleo‐Dispersions of Electrospun Cellulose Acetate Butyrate Nanostructures: Toward Renewable Semisolid Lubricants

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2024.
Fine dispersions of electrospun cellulose acetate butyrate nanostructures in castor oil are formulated with the goal of being implemented as sustainable semi‐solid lubricants. A spectrum of nanoarchitectures, including porous nanostructures, capable of structuring oil are obtained by tuning the physicochemical and rheological properties of the spinning

Colossal Reversible Barocaloric Effects in a Plastic Crystal Mediated by Lattice Vibrations and Ion Diffusion

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 26, July 10, 2024.
The presence of colossal and reversible barocaloric effects in LiCB11H12, a renowned solid electrolyte, is evidenced near its order–disorder phase transition. It is observed that lattice vibrations primarily contribute to these barocaloric effects. Additionally, although the diffusion of lithium ions only marginally contributes to the accompanying ...

Regeneración post-incendio de la encina en pinares de repoblación mediterráneos

Ecosistemas, 2014
Después de un incendio forestal es común la retirada de la madera quemada, pero se sabe poco sobre cómo esta práctica afecta a la recolonización de la zona quemada por parte de especies del género Quercus como la encina.

Interacciones planta-animal en la regeneración de Quercus pyrenaica: ecología y gestión

Ecosistemas, 2014
Los rebollares de Quercus pyrenaica son formaciones casi exclusivas de la península ibérica cuya regeneración sexual se encuentra fuertemente comprometida como consecuencia de su estructura dominada por rebrotes de cepa y raíz (monte bajo).
