Diet‐manipulated body condition affects onset and speed of moult in common bulbuls in a tropical environment

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Resource acquisition and allocation are central to life history theory, explaining the diversity of strategies among species as well as the distribution of events over the annual cycle. Moult is a major phase in the annual cycle of birds, but explanations for moult scheduling are heavily biased towards temperate systems with seasonal breeding patterns.

Effect of Escherichia coli endotoxin on Archachatina marginata haemolymph coagulation system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The effect of _E. coli_ endotoxin on the heamolymph coagulation response of _Archachatina marginata_ was studied. Heamocyte Lysate(HL), Haemocyte Lysate Supernatant(HLS) and Haemocyte Lysate Debris (HLD) were exposed to _Escherichia coli_ endotoxin ...

Zooplankton diversity in highly urbanized ponds: The role of road salt is not reflected by watershed impervious cover

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Urban ecosystems are structured by multiple anthropogenic stressors, yet despite the increasing extent and rate of urbanization worldwide, the ecological consequences of excessive road salt application and other urban phenomena remain poorly resolved.

The Possible Role of Extra-ocular Photoreceptors in the Entrainment of Lobster Circadian Rhythms to Light:Dark Cycles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The American lobster, Homarus americanus, is a decapod crustacean whose daily nocturnal rhythms of activity are driven, in part, by an internal biological clock. While this circadian clock is capable of producing a rhythm of approximately 24 hours on its

Toxicity of Commonly Used Plasticizers to the Freshwater Organisms Tilapia sparrmanii (Fish) and Caridina nilotica (Shrimp): Lethal and Sublethal Effects

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 81-94, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The toxicity of microplastics in aquatic environments is usually due to plasticizers, the chemical additives that keep the plastic polymers together. Thus, the current study reports on the toxicity of three common plasticizers found in freshwater ecosystems and their impacts on two South African freshwater organisms at the organismal and ...

Cohabitation of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) and Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultured in low salinity water

open access: yesAquaculture Reports
Culture of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), using an intercropping production strategy, is being used by one shrimp farmer in Alabama. A concern is that crayfish feed on invertebrates.

Integrating refugia modeling and decision science to support climate‐adaptive conservation in the Sierra Nevada

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract To reduce detrimental impacts of anthropogenic change, natural resource managers often look for place‐based solutions to minimize biodiversity loss. Climate‐change refugia, areas buffered from contemporary climate change, can enable the persistence of valued natural resources and prolong the benefits of conservation action.
