Spiroplasma eriocheiris Invasion Into Macrobrachium rosenbergii Hemocytes Is Mediated by Pathogen Enolase and Host Lipopolysaccharide and β-1, 3-Glucan Binding Protein

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Spiroplasma eriocheiris is a crustacean pathogen, without a cell wall, that causes enormous economic loss. Macrobrachium rosenbergii hemocytes are the major targets during S. eriocheiris infection. As wall-less bacteria, S.

New Insights Into the Effects of Electrode Polarization of Chitosan on Graphene Nanomaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the use of chitosan as an electrode polarization suppressor for graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide using voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and density functional theory studies. The findings demonstrate that chitosan effectively reduces the electrode polarization of graphene materials, thereby enhancing

The mitochondrial genome of Bottapotamon fukienense (Brachiura: Potamidae) is fragmented into two chromosomes

open access: yesBMC Genomics
Background China is the hotspot of global freshwater crab diversity, but their wild populations are facing severe pressures associated with anthropogenic factors, necessitating the need to map their taxonomic and genetic diversity and design conservation

Fine-scale population structure analysis in Armadillidium vulgare (Isopoda: Oniscidea) reveals strong female philopatry [PDF]

open access: yesActa Oecologica, 2019, 2018
In the last decades, dispersal studies have benefited from the use of molecular markers for detecting patterns differing between categories of individuals and have highlighted sex-biased dispersal in several species. To explain this phenomenon, several hypotheses implying mating systems, intrasexual competition or sex-related handicaps have been ...

Comment: Food web interactions and biomanipulation in Australian reservoirs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The authors have been studying the control of phytoplankton biomass in several Australian reservoirs. To manipulate fish communities in order to reduce phytoplankton biomass, one needs a thorough understanding of processes in the plankton-associated food

Nanoengineering of Chitosan Sponges Via Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO for Water Remediation Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Chitosan sponges are modified with ZnO through atomic layer deposition (ALD) to enhance water remediation. Characterization reveals the growth of defective ZnO, which improves the water stability of the sponges. The material's effectiveness is demonstrated through the removal of Direct Blue 78 dye and the photocatalytic degradation of Naproxen ...

Substrate preference by the porcelain crab Pachycheles monilifer (Crustacea, Anomura): the bryozoan Schizoporella errata or the polychaete Phragmatopoma caudata?

open access: yesNauplius, 2014
Differences on reproductive performance between two sampling points of the porcelain crab Pachycheles monilifer from Ubatuba (São Paulo, Brazil), one from Itaguá Beach (living on Schizoporella errata) and the other from Grande Beach (living on ...

Design strategies of the mantis shrimp spike: How the crustacean cuticle became a remarkable biological harpoon

open access: yesNatural Sciences, 2023
Spearing mantis shrimps are aggressive crustaceans using specialized appendages with sharp spikes to capture fishes with fast movement. Each spike is a biological tool that has to combine high toughness, as required by the initial impact with the victim,

Spatiotemporal Modeling of Nursery Habitat Using Bayesian Inference: Environmental Drivers of Juvenile Blue Crab Abundance [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Nursery grounds are favorable for growth and survival of juvenile fish and crustaceans through abundant food resources and refugia, and enhance secondary production of populations. While small-scale studies remain important tools to assess nursery value of habitats, targeted applications that unify survey data over large spatiotemporal scales are vital
