Morphological, anatomical, and micromorphological features of pseudonectaries To understand the morphological nature of pseudonectaries, we first performed morphological, anatomical, and micromorphological studies. Under stereomicroscope, petals of N. damascena appear to be long-stalked, hair-bearing, doubly geniculated, and vertically bilabiate structures (Fig. 2a, b). Pseudonectaries, which are located at the distal geniculate bend of the lower petal lip, […] More
Seafloor mapping The Neopycnodonte bioconstructions were studied in two different areas of the southern Apulian coast, Otranto (OT) and Santa Maria di Leuca (SML) (Fig. 1). In the OT area, Neopycnodonte bioconstructions were discontinuously detected along 600 m of the coastline within a bathymetric range of 45–64 m, reaching a total length of 200 m (Fig. 2). In the SML […] More

A total of 318 calves were sampled across 12 farms positive for the environmental presence of VTEC O157:H7. Fifty-six calves were colonised as detected by recto-anal mucosal swabs (RAMS) from the terminal rectum and their faecal shedding levels varied between 0 and 840 000 cfu/g faeces (Table 1). Animal-based assessment of health and welfare of the […] More

Discovery of novel candidate virus species Two high-throughput sequencing efforts, combined with PCR and RACE, allowed us to assemble the genomes of six unique viral candidate species associated with S. solidus. BLAST searches against the genome of S. solidus did not yield significant matches, confirming that the viruses are not endogenous. The first virus, named […] More
Study site This study was conducted at the Abisko Scientific Research Station (68°21′17.0′′ N; 18°48′54′′ E) about 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. The station is located within the sporadic permafrost zone, with a mean annual temperature around 0 °C and mean annual precipitation of 335 mm (1981–2010, Abisko Scientific Research Station, 380 m.a.s.l). Common garden experiment We […] More
