Ligophorus pilengas n. sp. (monogenea: ancyrocephalidae) from the introduced so-iuy mullet, mugil soiuy (teleostei: mugilidae), in the sea of Azov an…
2004
The monogenean Ligophorus chabaudi was originally described on the gills of the flathead mullet, Mugil cephalus, and was subsequently reported on the So-iuy mullet, Mugil soiuy. However, the morphology of sclerotized parts and multivariate statistical analyses suggest that the form from the So-iuy mullet represents a new species. This study provides a description of the new species Ligophorus pilengas n. sp. and provides additional morphological data concerning the morphology of the ventral bar that might be useful for the diagnosis of Ligophorus. Ligophorus pilengas n. sp. is the second species of Ligophorus reported on the So-iuy mullet. Zoogeographical records indicate that L. pilengas n…
Increased recovery of brain acetylcholinesterase activity in dichlorvos-intoxicated European eels Anguilla anguilla by bath treatment with N-acetylcy…
2003
Organophosphate (OP) pesticides are widely used as antiparasitic chemicals in finfish aquaculture. However, current antidotes cannot be applied to treat intoxicated fish. We showed in previous studies the importance of glutathione (GSH) metabolism in pesticide resistance of the European eel Anguilla anguilla L. The present work studied the effects of the antioxidant and glutathione pro-drug N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) on the recovery of European eels exposed for 96 h to a sublethal concentration (0.17 mg l^-1; 20% of its 96 h LC50) of the OP pesticide dichlorvos (2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate; DDVP). This insecticide and acaricide decreased muscular GSH content and increased oxidised g…
A Case of Predation of a Eurasian Eagle-Owl by a Bonelli's Eagle
2016
Although some of these hypotheses are not mutually exclusive, in light of our field observations and experience with both species in the study area, we would favor the first hypothesis as food availability is low in our study area (P. López-López, C. García-Ripollés, J. Giménez, and V. Urios unpubl. data). The second and third hypotheses could also account for this behavior, especially considering previous events of nestling Bonelli's Eagles being killed by eagle-owls (Real and Manosa 1990). Notwithstanding, if the''predatorremoval hypothesis'' were true, the frequency of lethal interactions among both species would be probably much higher and thus previously reported in the literature. Unf…

Efecto del consumo de soja en la longevidad de ratones OF1 machos
2013
Encontrar buenos modelos de envejecimiento es un objetivo importante de la Gerontología. La diferencia de género en la longevidad, es decir, el hecho de que las hembras viven alrededor del 10% más que los machos en muchas especies, incluida la especie humana, ofrece una oportunidad única para estudiar los aspectos fundamentales del envejecimiento. En el contexto de la teoría mitocondrial de radicales libres en el envejecimiento, estudios realizados por nuestro grupo de investigación han encontrado que la producción de especies reactivas de oxígeno es aproximadamente el doble en los machos en comparación con las hembras (Borras et al., 2003). Así, dichas diferencias de longevidad entre macho…
Nota sobre tortrícidos ibéricos del género Pammene Hübner, [1825] (Lepidoptera : Tortricidae)
2006
Se dan a conocer dos especies de Tortricidae (Olethreutinae, Grapholitini) del género Pammene Hübner, [1825]: P. obscurana (Stephens, 1834) y P. suspectana ([Lienig] & Zeller, 1846). Éstas se diagnosticaron mediante el estudio de la genitalia de ejemplares masculinos capturados en Cataluña en trampas delta de base pegajosa, cebadas con feromona sexual de Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus, 1758) y de Grapholita molesta (Busck, 1916). La primera es nueva para Cataluña (España); la segunda lo es para la fauna íbero-balear. Two species of Tortricidae (Olethreutinae, Grapholitini) belonging to the genus Pammene Hübner, [1825]: P. obscurana (Stephens, 1834) and P. suspectana ([Lienig] & Zeller, 1846) are…
Nuevos datos sobre la presencia de lepus en el pleistoceno medio y superior del Mediterráneo Ibérico: La Cova del Bolomor (Valencia)
2012
Se presentan datos novedosos sobre la presencia de la liebre en el área valenciana durante el Pleistoceno medio y superior. Una interesante, aunque reducida, muestra ósea procedente de la Cova del Bolomor ha sido asignada a este género de lagomorfos. Su aparición en la fase inicial de ocupación de la cavidad (MIS 9) corresponde, por el momento, a la cita más antigua de Lepus en esta zona (ca. 350 ka). La determinación de otros huesos de liebre en los niveles superiores del yacimiento (MIS 6 y 5e), junto a otras referencias, confirma la continuidad del género hasta el Holoceno.
Heterophyid trematodes (Digenea) from penguins: A new species of Ascocotyle Looss, 1899, first description of metacercaria of Ascocotyle (A.) patagon…
2019
Two species of heterophyid trematodes were found in the Magellanic penguin, Spheniscus magellanicus (Forster), from Patagonia, Argentina. Ascocotyle (Ascocotyle) patagoniensis Hernández-Orts et al. (2012) is re-described based on new, properly fixed specimens (original material from South American sea lion, Otaria flavescens Shaw, was from frozen hosts). Metacercariae of this species are reported and described for the first time from the heart of the silversides, Odontesthes argentinensis (Valenciennes) and O. smitti (Lahille), from Patagonia. Ascocotyle (Phagicola) cameliae n. sp. is described from the intestine of S. magellanicus. The new species is placed into the subgenus Phagicola Faus…
Coprology of Panthera tigris altaica and Felis bengalensis euptilurus from the Russian Far East
2007
Fecal samples from the Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) and the Amur cat (Felis bengalensis euptilurus) from Far Eastern Russia, were examined for parasites. A natural sedimentation methodology was used and a complete examination of all the sediment was performed. This fecal investigation allowed us to isolate and identify several developmental stages of gastrointestinal, hepatic, and respiratory parasites. Five parasites were found from P. t. altaica: 11 trematodes (Platynosomum fastosum) and 4 nematodes (Strongyloides sp., Ancylostomatidae, Toxascaris leonina, and Toxocara cati). Five parasites were found from F. b. euptilurus: 1 cestode (Diplopylidium sp.) and 4 nematodes (Trichu…
Presence of Genital Spines in a Male Corynosoma cetaceum Johnston and Best, 1942 (Acanthocephala)
2002
We collected 83 females and 80 males of Corynosoma cetaceum from 2 common dolphins, Delphinus delphis, collected in northern Patagonia (Argentina). Worms were most similar to specimens collected in other South American localities. However, 1 male had 2 spines adjacent to the genital pore and isolated from the rest of body spines. This finding confirms the recent reassignment of C. cetaceum to Corynosoma. Absence of genital spines is suggested to be avoided as the sole criterion to exclude specimens from Corynosoma or Andracantha.
