Assessing Biodiversity at Eastern Oyster (<i>Crassostrea virginica</i>) Aquaculture and Reef Sites Utilizing Real-Time Monitoring and Environmental DNA in Rehoboth Bay, Delaware, USA. [PDF]
Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are a keystone species and vital to the commercial shellfish industry, acting as environmental engineers that enhance biodiversity. To study their impact, real‐time monitoring and Environmental DNA analysis were conducted at various sites in Rehoboth Bay, Delaware and 23 species were identified, with Spot ...

Carbon content of Mnemiopsis leidyi eggs and specific egg production rates in northern Europe [PDF]
The comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi is considered to be a successful invasive species, partly due to its high reproduction potential. However, due to the absence of direct carbon measurements of eggs, specific reproduction rates remain uncertain.

Inertia-driven flow symmetry breaking by oscillating plates
While cilia are generally found in viscosity-dominated regimes, those of a comb jelly, the longest motile cilia in nature, are used for propulsion and feeding in inertia-dominated flows.

Population genomic structure of the gelatinous zooplankton species Mnemiopsis leidyi in its nonindigenous range in the North Sea [PDF]
Nonindigenous species pose a major threat for coastal and estuarine ecosystems. Risk management requires genetic information to establish appropriate management units and infer introduction and dispersal routes. We investigated one of the most successful

Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.
