Using monk seal faeces as a non-invasive technique to monitor the incidence of microdebris
(Corresponding) Hernandez-Milian G., Tsangaris C., Anestis A., Bundone L., Panou A.
Topic:
Biodibersity conservation
required under the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive to prevent any harm on marine ecosystems and their biota. Sampling to evaluate effects of marine litter, including microdebris, in top predators is difficult. Usually, microdebris is examined in the gastro-intestinal tract of stranded dead...Read more
Environmental assessment using acoustic complexity indicators
(Corresponding) Tsaligopoulos A., Economou C., Matsinos Y.
Topic:
Biodibersity conservation
The procedure of sound recording offers new perspectives in ecology. Nevertheless, the existing tools that offer high resolution recordings are expensive. The use of acoustic indicators is proposed as an easy-to-use, rapid, non-intrusive, low-cost option in biodiversity assessment as well as in...Read more
In pine stands systematic harvesting of forest products, such as resin extraction, are known to affect trees’ vitality and consequently their response to fungal diseases. The latter constitutes a serious threat for standing vigorous trees, thus early warning signals and short diagnosis time of...Read more

GMOs Detection With Minimal Reaction Volume Real-Time PCR For Environmental Conservation
Psallida C., Argyropoulos D.
Topic:
Biodibersity conservation
Detection of GMOs with Real-time PCR is the standard technology for tracing their presence in different sample types ranging from food to plant materials. GM plant seeds are one of the main sources for GM dispersal in the environment, affecting genetic stability and biodiversity. A certified...Read more
GMO POLICIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN THE ERA OF GENOME EDITING
(Corresponding) Argyropoulos D., Psallida C.
Topic:
Biodibersity conservation
In recent years, immediate human interference with nucleic acid sequences has resulted in what is popularly known as Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). The process, based on molecular technologies under the term genetic engineering, has added new information to the existing pool of genetic...Read more
Bioaccumulation of pharmaceuticals, pesticides and PFASs in mussel´s visceral mass and haemolymph
(Corresponding) Álvarez-Ruiz R., Campo J., Picó Y.
Topic:
Biodibersity conservation
Human activities pose an important impact for coastal environments. Particularly aquatic fuana is afflicted by the discharge of organic pollutants of anthorpogenic origin. Furthermore, recent studies show sinergies between diffferent pollutants, such as interactions between the presence of...Read more

BRIEF BIOLOGY OF Sudanonautes africanus (CRUSTACEA: BRACHYURA: EUBRACHYURA: POTAMOIDEA: PATAMONAUTIDAE: POTAMONAUTINAE), IN OSSIOMO RIVER, NIGER-DELTA, NIGERIA
(Corresponding) Anani O., John O.
Topic:
Biodibersity conservation
The crab species africanus is a very notable detritivore, feeding on dead organic materials. It makes use of energy from the food and transfers it into the food chain trophic level, contributing to the gross ecosystem efficiency. However, their threat to human consumption and activities is...Read more
