Widespread Variation in Retinochrome Spectral Absorbance Across Scallop Phylogeny

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Vision is a two‐step process, including phototransduction initiated by a retinal‐bound opsin photopigment, and subsequent photopigment regeneration wherein the inactive state is restored. Because retinal isomerization, or changing of the molecular structural conformation, drives the activation of opsin photopigments, the reverse process is a ...

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 9, 5 May 2026.
Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination systems.

Proteo-Transcriptomic Analysis of the Venom Gland of the Cone Snail Cylinder canonicus Reveals the Origin of the Predatory-Evoked Venom

Toxins
Cone snails are carnivorous marine predators that prey on mollusks, worms, or fish. They purposefully inject a highly diversified and peptide-rich venom, which can vary according to the predatory or defensive intended use.
