Stanford University ranking selects the top 2% group of researchers most cited in scientific publications. There are 162 researchers at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in the chosen group of the 2% with the highest number of citations in scientific publications: of these, 119 (103 in 2023) are on the senior list (which…
Identifiant des méthodes essentielles pour améliorer la biodiversité dans l’environnement rural des Pyrénées occidentales
Une étude dirigée par le groupe FisioKlima-AgroSosT de l’Université du Pays Basque, en collaboration avec le gouvernement de Navarre et l’entreprise Gestion Ambiental de Navarra (GAN-NIK), a mis en lumière les pratiques de gestion cruciales pour promouvoir et préserver la biodiversité dans les pâturages du versant ouest des Pyrénées en Navarre. Malgré l’importance reconnue des…
Discovered the first metabolic pathway in production of nitric oxide from amino acids in plants
The Public University of Navarra (UPNA), in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), is leading a pioneering research that uncovers the first metabolic pathway responsible for the production of nitric oxide (NO) in plants from amino acids, highlighting the importance of oxymes, a type of chemical compounds, in this process. Recently published…
Genomes from Ancient Balkan Populations Illuminate the Formation of Slavic Europe
The University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) is actively engaged in the inaugural reconstruction of the genomic history of the first millennium in the Balkan Peninsula. The research has unveiled that the Balkans served as a frontier region of ancient Rome, exhibiting a cosmopolitan character comparable to the imperial center. Furthermore, the study indicates that…
