Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 51, December 23, 2025.Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Microalgae are a valuable source of nutrients that are widely used in aquaculture to support the growth of aquatic species. This study aimed to assess the effect of replacing fishmeal with Spirulina powder (Arthrospira platensis) on the growth, survival, body coloration, and meat quality of Macrobrachium caementarius.

Eukaryogenesis From FECA to LECA: Radical Steps Along the Way
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2025.How did the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) population evolve? Recent evidence shows an Asgard archaeon‐like organism acquiring a bacterium, the future mitochondrion, going from symbiosis to endosymbiosis. I postulate that almost all salient LECA characteristics could have resulted from the ensuing enhanced ATP generation and internal reactive ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2588-2600, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animal coloration serves a variety of visually related functions in nature (e.g. mate choice, aposematism and camouflage) but the pigments in integumentary tissues such as skin, scales and feathers may also serve functions unrelated to the visual environment (e.g ...

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT Plastids in almost all photosynthetic lineages originated from a primary endosymbiosis between cyanobacteria and heterotrophic eukaryotes in an ancestor of Archaeplastida. Strikingly, this event was repeated about a billion years later in an ancestor of photosynthetic Paulinella.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.Abstract Colour signals play pivotal roles in different communication systems, and the evolution of these characters has been associated with behavioural ecology, integumentary production processes and perceptual mechanisms of the species involved. Here, we present the first insight into the molecular and histological basis of skin colour polymorphism ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 7, Page 1849-1866, July 2025.Abstract Purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) of the family Chromatiaceae (Gammaproteobacteria) can perform chemo‐ and photo‐lithoautotrophy (through anoxygenic photosynthesis) in anoxic layers of freshwater stratified (including meromictic) lakes. This group has been extensively studied via physiological and ecological approaches, albeit their genomics has ...
