Olive vegetation waters (OVW) represent a serious environmental problem for the solution of which several disposal methods have been proposed, such as, e.g., physicochemical treatments (decantation with lime and/or total oxidation; concen-tration, drying and incineration; ultrafiltration and reverse osmosys), agronomic (acquaculture; landspreading) and animal-breeding methods (direct utilizatio...

In the Mediterranean basin area, powdery mildew disease on hazelnut is commonly caused by Phyllactinia guttata. The occurs in late summer-autumn causing limited damage or economic impact. April 2021, an unusual outbreak of was observed lower leaves hazelnuts (cvs, Negret and San Giovanni) leading to rapid leaf desiccation two commercial orchards (Camí de la Serra Mas Coma), both located at La S...

Genetic variation within species is commonly structured in a hierarchical manner which may result from superimposition of processes acting at different spatial and temporal scales. In organisms of limited dispersal ability, signatures of past subdivision are detectable for a long time. Studies of contemporary genetic structure in such taxa inform about the history of isolation, range changes an...

Electronic databases are increasingly popular tools in typological research. Despite the advantages of such tools, there are problems connected both with their construction and with their standardization. For instance, there is generally a considerable gap between the information stored in typological databases and primary data: primary morphosyntactic data are much more difficult to handle com...

Cereal Chem. 76(4):548–551 The complete amino acid sequence of an α-type gliadin from spelt wheat (spelta) has been deduced from the cloned DNA sequence and compared with α-type gliadin sequences from bread wheat. The comparison showed only minor differences in amino acid sequences between the α-type gliadin from bread wheat and the α-type gliadin from spelta. The two sequences had an identity ...

The Mediterranean area represents one of the most suitable and diversified environments for horticultural crops, being this propriety well expressed in the commonly accepted definition of “Mediterranean cultivated garden”. In Italy, fruit crops have been in the past introduced and expanded in different environments depending on the species and adaptability to the physiographic characteristics o...

The Sahara Desert is one of the major ecological barriers Palearctic-Africa bird migration system. We analysed behaviour GPS-tagged booted eagles (Aquila pennata) breeding in Spain and wintering Tropical Africa, focusing on crossing. searched for anomalous track segments recorded during desert crossing, finding that non-directional and/or slow movements occur 35% migratory journeys last up to 3...
