Molt and gastroliths in Austropotamobius pallipes (Lereboullet, 1858) [PDF]

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2009
Knowledge of the molting cycle in crayfish may contribute (1) to improving a population analysis for monitoring and conservation purposes and (2) to imposing significant constraints on practices involved in culture.

Identification and characterization of the corazonin receptor and possible physiological roles of the corazonin-signaling pathway in Rhodnius prolixus.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Neuropeptides control many physiological and endocrinological processes in animals, acting as neuroactive chemicals within the central and peripheral nervous systems.

In silico identification of off-target pesticidal dsRNA binding in honey bees (Apis mellifera) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Background Pesticidal RNAs that silence critical gene function have great potential in pest management, but the benefits of this technology must be weighed against non-target organism risks.

Effects of Dietary Calcium and Magnesium Levels on the Growth Performance, Tissue Mineral Deposition, Exoskeleton Development, and Molting Performance of Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis)

open access: yesAquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Calcium and magnesium are essential mineral elements for animal growth and development, playing crucial roles in skeletal formation, particularly in the molting process of crustaceans. However, their interaction is still poorly elucidated. This study investigated the effects of dietary calcium and magnesium levels on the growth performance, tissue ...

Effects of Prawn Shell Meal Diets on Hemocyte Count, Hemolymph Clotting, and Sperm Quality of the Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium caementarius

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Crustacean shells are composed of chitin, which is bound to protein and minerals, along with other essential nutrients. These components are necessary for growth, immune response, the formation of reproductive structures, and the enhancement of sperm quality.

Neuromodulatory connectivity defines the structure of a behavioral neural network

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Neural networks are typically defined by their synaptic connectivity, yet synaptic wiring diagrams often provide limited insight into network function.

Unlocking the Antioxidant, Enzyme Inhibitory and Acaricidal Potential of Azadirachta indica Phytoconstituents Using In Vitro and In Silico Approaches

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
The study evaluated the acaricidal potential of bioactive components of Azadirachta indica against scabies mortality using both in vitro and in silico methodologies. Sarcoptes scabiei were stimulated with Azadirachta indica at four concentrations (25–100 mg/mL) at different intervals.

Evaluating antibiosis resistance to cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae L., 1758) in vegetable brassicas (Brassica oleracea L.) and related C‐genome brassica species

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 8431-8447, December 2025.
Nineteen Brassica accessions were screened for antibiosis resistance to Brevicoryne brassicae. Significant variation in resistance was identified. Detailed bioassays suggest that varietal effects upon aphid pre‐reproductive period conferred observed resistance.

Effect of replacing fishmeal with spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) powder on growth, survival, body coloration, and meat quality in the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium caementarius

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Microalgae are a valuable source of nutrients that are widely used in aquaculture to support the growth of aquatic species. This study aimed to assess the effect of replacing fishmeal with Spirulina powder (Arthrospira platensis) on the growth, survival, body coloration, and meat quality of Macrobrachium caementarius.
