Association between sperm motility in thawed semen and pregnancy rate in Mediterranean buffaloes by Armando Quintero-Moreno, Carla Osorio Meléndez, Héctor Nava-Trujillo, Jorge Rubio Guillén, Juan Carlos Gutiérrez-Añez, Adriana Camacho de Gutiérrez

“…To contribute to knowledge in buffalo reproduction, an experiment was carried out where four sperm motility descriptors (VCL: curvilinear velocity, VSL: straight-line velocity, VAP: average path velocity, and LIN: linearity) were evaluated using a Computerized Semen Analysis System (Sperm Class Analyzer®, CASA System, Barcelona, Spain) in samples obtained from 8 frozen-thawed straws of 8 Mediterranean buffaloes. The PR data for each buffalo bull were obtained from 2 farms where the management and FTAI protocol employed was handled by the same professionals and straws of similar provenance and proper nitrogen thermos management were used. …”

Parameterization of the Stomatal Component of the DO3SE Model for Mediterranean Evergreen Broadleaf Species by Roccío Alonso, Susana Elvira, María J. Sanz, Lisa Emberson, Benjamín S. Gimeno

“…A new parameterization of the model is proposed for Holm oak (Quercus ilex), a tree species that has been selected as a surrogate for all Mediterranean evergreen broadleaf species. This parameterization was based on a literature review, and was calibrated and validated using experimentally measured data of gs and several atmospheric and soil parameters recorded at three sites of the Iberian Peninsula experiencing long summer drought, and very cold and dry winter air (El Pardo and Miraflores) or milder conditions (Tietar). …”
