Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 29, Issue 72, December 22, 2023., 2023 The fully functionalized A−F ring system of the Pacific ciguatoxin CTX3C suitable for coupling to the I−M fragment of the natural product, has been synthesized from a simple glucal derivative. A six‐step sequence that features ring‐closing metathesis and stereoselective palladium‐mediated allylation has been deployed in an iterative manner to construct

MultiBarcodeTools: Easy selection of optimal primers for eDNA multi‐metabarcoding
Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1793-1808, November 2023., 2023 Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) is a revolutionary technique for monitoring of ecosystems, but no single primer can amplify and discriminate all species in any environment. We developed MultiBarcodeTools, which automatically recommend the optimal combination of fish eDNA multi‐metabarcoding primers.

A Perspective on Removal of Cyanotoxins from Water Through Advanced Oxidation Processes
Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Sulfate radical‐based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) excel in cyanotoxin removal. Their high reactivity efficiently degrades diverse cyanotoxins, ensuring safe water quality. Their versatility and effectiveness make them the most suitable AOPs and safeguard aquatic ecosystems and human health.

An assessment of people living by coral reefs over space and time
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 23, Page 7139-7153, December 2022., 2022 Human populations near ecosystems are used as both a proxy for dependency on ecosystems, and conversely to estimate threats. We present trends of changes in human populations living near coral reefs over a 20‐year time period (2000‐2020). We find that across 117 coral reef countries there are currently close to a billion people living within 100 km of ...

Health benefits of microalgae and their microbiomes
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1966-1983, July 2022., 2022 Microalgae may offer solutions to the societal challenge we face concerning the lack of antibiotics treating the growing level of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and fungi in clinical and industrial settings. While the vast majority of microalgae and their associated microbiota are unstudied, they may be a fascinating and rewarding source for novel ...

A descriptive study of ciguatera fish poisoning in Cook Islands dogs and cats: Treatment and outcome [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2020 Background and Aim: Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is an illness caused by the ingestion of fish containing ciguatoxins. Dogs and cats are susceptible to CFP, but there is little published and much unknown about the condition in these species. This study
