Animals frequently use metabolites produced by symbiotic bacteria as agents against pathogens and parasites. Secretions from the preen gland of birds are used for this purpose, although its chemicals apparently themselves. European hoopoes Upupa epops green woodhoopoes Phoeniculus purpureus harbour in uropygial that might be partly responsible chemical composition secretions. Here we investigate antimicrobial activity volatile fraction hoopoe secretions, and, means experimental antibiotic...

Summary 1. Although a growing body of evidence supports that olfaction based on chemical compounds emitted by birds may play role in individual recognition, the possible cues sexual selection has been only preliminarily studied. 2. We investigated for first time whether passerine bird, spotless starling Sturnus unicolor , was able to discriminate sex conspecifics using olfactory and size secretion composition uropygial gland convey information sex, age reproductive status this species. 3....

In the middle of 20th century, production plastics exploded worldwide because their low cost and versatility applications. However, since plastic debris is highly resistant to environmental degradation, a growing presence in all ecosystems has been confirmed. Among them, particles < 5 mm, also known as microplastics (MPs), are special concern they dispersed aerial, terrestrial aquatic environments, being soil main sink these contaminants. Due large specific surface area hydrophobicity,...

Abstract 1 The presence and abundance of arthropods were compared in three olive orchards under organic, integrated conventional management regimes. In each orchard, trees sampled the canopy by beating branches soil placing pitfall traps. Contrary to expectations, highest occurred orchard. most abundant groups Formicidae species Euphyllura olivinae (Homoptera: Psyllidae). 2 Canopies tree (interior soil) selected as informative sites for sampling. months with strongest differences May, June...

This study is aimed at analyzing the occurrence and transport of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in Quequén Grande river basin, as representative a catchment under diffuse pollution sources. Pollutant levels soils, bottom sediments (RBS), streamwater (Sw), suspended particle materials (SPMs), macrophytes muscle silverside were determined by GC-ECD. Soil Kd values for current-used insecticides, endosulfans cypermethrin,...
