Predicting Population Consequences of an Epidemic of High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza on Southern Elephant SealsNARA Subscribed
The colony of southern elephant seals ( Mirounga leonina ) at Península Valdés (Argentina) grew by 0.9% from 2000 to 2022, reaching a population of 18,000 reproductive females. In 2023, an epidemic of the High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza H5N1 virus led to the death of almost all pups and an unknown number of adults. We tested five scenarios that included complete pup mortality along with varying levels of adult mortality and...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Unlocking the Potential of Marine Sidestreams in the Blue Economy: Lessons Learned from the EcoeFISHent Project on Fish CollagenNARA Subscribed
This review provides a general overview of collagen structure, biosynthesis, and biological properties, with a particular focus on marine collagen sources, especially fisheries discards and by-catches. Additionally, well-documented applications of collagen are presented, with special emphasis not only on its final use but also on the processes enabling sustainable and safe recovery from materials that would otherwise go to was...
Cerebellar syndromes are clinically and etiologically heterogeneous and can be classified as hereditary, neurodegenerative non-hereditary, or acquired. Few data are available on the frequency of each form in the clinical setting. Growing interest is emerging regarding the genetic forms caused by triplet repeat expansions. Alleles with repeat expansion lower than the pathological threshold, termed intermediate alleles (IAs), ha...

Nanosponges by the oxo-Michael polyaddition of cyclodextrins as sorbents of water pollutants: the o-toluidine caseNARA Subscribed
Hydrophilic cyclodextrin nanosponges were prepared by the oxo-Michael polyaddition in an aqueous solution at pH > 10 of α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin with 1,4-bisacryloylpiperazine or 2,2-bisacrylamidoacetic acid. These nanosponges and, for comparison purposes, their precursor cyclodextrins were tested as sorbents of o -toluidine, a carcinogenic wastewater contaminant, by monitoring the depletion of o -toluidine from a 10 −4 M (1...
Purpose This work deals with the application of a solidification/stabilization process with the aim to obtain safe and reusable granular materials from a polluted soil and to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the retention of several heavy metals. Materials and methods The High Performance Solidification/Stabilization (HPSS®) process was applied to the selected contaminated soil by using both ordinary Portland cement and ca...
Additive manufacturing consists in melting metallic powders to produce objects from 3D data, layer upon layer. Its industrial applications range from automotive, biomedical (e.g., prosthetic implants for dentistry and orthopedics), aeronautics and others. This study uses life cycle assessment to evaluate the possible improvement in environmental performance of laser‐based powder bed fusion additive manufacturing systems on pro...
