Physico-chemical and antioxidant properties of oils and by-products obtained by cold press-extraction of Tunisian Opuntia spp. seeds

open access: yesApplied Food Research, 2021
Screw pressed prickly pear seed cakes from four Tunisian varieties were analyzed for their chemical and some functional and antioxidant properties, along with the physico-chemical characteristics of the extracted oils. This extraction yielded 40.14 to 62.

Methodological guidelines for the characterization of polysaccharide helical structures

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Polysaccharide chain conformation is a critical determinant of their physicochemical and biological properties; however, reliable identification remains a significant challenge due to the inconsistent structural evidence yielded by conventional analytical techniques.

Landscape drivers of scaled quail occurrence across a broad spatiotemporal scale: implications for habitat management

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.

Modeling effects of environmental conditions and hunter activity on Montezuma quail harvest in Arizona

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Models of spatiotemporal variation in hunter harvest show that monsoon precipitation and changes in hunter behavior and composition are the primary drivers underlying variation in annual harvest of Montezuma quail. The demographic structure of the previous year's harvest was also strongly associated with the magnitude and rate of annual harvest ...

Valorization of Mexican prickly pear cladodes (Opuntia spp) as a source of antifungal compounds against phytopathogenic strains

open access: yesCyTA - Journal of Food
Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia spp.) has been widely consumed in Mexico as an important source of nutrients in the diet. Older, larger, and fibrous cladodes lose commercial interest for human consumption, resulting in a by-product rich in different ...

Impact of alien plant invaders on pollination networks in two archipelagos. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Mutualistic interactions between plants and animals promote integration of invasive species into native communities. In turn, the integrated invaders may alter existing patterns of mutualistic interactions. Here we simultaneously map in detail effects of

Importance of woody patches and vegetation heterogeneity in Texas tortoise microhabitat use

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Microhabitat sites provide important resources and thermal conditions to reptile species that can vary spatially and temporally. This study assessed Texas tortoise Gopherus berlandieri microhabitat use and its relationship with carapace temperature during their active (April–October) and inactive seasons (November–March) between January 2023 and ...
