Molecular, Enzymatic, and Cellular Characterization of Soluble Adenylyl Cyclase From Aquatic Animals. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The enzyme soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) is the most recently identified source of the messenger molecule cyclic adenosine monophosphate. sAC is evolutionarily conserved from cyanobacteria to human, is directly stimulated by [Formula: see text] ions ...

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.

Optimal Strouhal number for swimming animals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
To evaluate the swimming performances of aquatic animals, an important dimensionless quantity is the Strouhal number, St = fA/U, with f the tail-beat frequency, A the peak-to-peak tail amplitude, and U the swimming velocity.

Collective decision‐making in aquatic mammals

open access: yesMammal Review, 2023
ABSTRACTCollective decision‐making is an essential part of day‐to‐day life for group‐living animals. These decisions can be unshared (e.g. leadership) or shared (e.g. consensus).Aquatic mammals face particular challenges when making collective decisions, including a three‐dimensional habitat that can make group coordination and collective navigation a ...
