Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Comparative feeding behaviour of Penaeus kerathurus (Forskål, 1775) (Crustacea, Penaeidae) and Palaemon Serratus (Pennant, 1777) (Crustacea, Palaemonidae) during larval development

Ciencias Marinas, 2001
Aspects of larval feeding of two autochthonous species of shrimp, Penaeus kerathurus (Forskål, 1775) and Palaemon serratus (Pennant, 1777), were studied. For P. kerathurus, feeding rates on Chlorella sp. and Isochrysis galbana Parke were determined at 3

Wildfire Ash Alters Freshwater Crustacean Behavior: Disentangling the Contributions of Suspended Macroparticles and Ash‐Induced Alkalinization

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...

The Effects of Noise on the Juvenile Life Stage of Crustaceans: Behavioral, Cellular, and Molecular Responses in Procambarus clarkii

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Juvenile Procambarus clarkii exposed to noise exhibited behavioral changes, shifts in enzymatic activity, and altered expression of stress and immune genes. The findings highlight the sensitivity of invertebrate juveniles to anthropogenic acoustic pollution.

Better Control With More Food: Continuous Provision of Alternative Food Enhances Thrips Control by Predatory Mites

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of alternative food has become an integral component of biocontrol, allowing the introduction and establishment of predators into a crop before pest invasion and sustaining populations even when pest densities are low. The addition of alternative food also has a positive long‐term effect in decreasing the densities of the pest.

Biochemical studies on sphingolipids of Artemia franciscana: complex neutral glycosphingolipids [PDF]

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2012
Brine shrimp are primitive crustacean arthropodal model organisms, second to daphnia, which can survive in high-salinity environments. Their oviposited cysts, cuticle-covered diapausing eggs, are highly resistant to dryness. To elucidate specialties of brine shrimp, this study characterized glycosphingolipids, which are signal transduction-associated ...

Evaluating astigmatid mites as supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus: contrasting responses between commercial and wild populations

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8319-8326, September 2026.
Astigmatid mites provide low‐cost supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus, supporting survival and development, with population‐specific responses and Acarus siro and Carpoglyphus lactis as the most promising alternatives. Abstract BACKGROUND Early establishment of Macrolophus pygmaeus in crops depends on the availability of supplemental food ...
