The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

Phototactic Response in Earthworm – “Eisenia foetida” [PDF]

International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development, 2018
It is proved that the reactions which are typical of the life in the burrow are more definite and controlled by weaker stimuli then reaction in the open, and this may be expresses by saying that the earthworm's organization is more highly adapted for life in the burrow.

Assessment of the feed additive consisting of lasalocid A sodium (Avatec® 150G) for turkeys, pheasants, guinea fowl, quails and partridges except laying birds thereof for the renewal of its authorisation (Zoetis Belgium SA)

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of lasalocid A sodium (Avatec® 150G) as a coccidiostat for turkeys, pheasants, guinea fowl, quails and partridges. The additive currently on the market complies with the existing conditions of authorisation.

Synthetic Ligands of Myeloid C‐Type Lectin Receptors

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Binding of ligands to C‐type lectin receptors (CLRs) on myeloid cells can lead to an array of cellular responses. Exploitation of these receptors for therapeutic purposes requires high‐affinity ligands. This review surveys the diversity of synthetic ligands of myeloid CLRs in the context of binding, signaling, and downstream effects, as well as ...

Earthworms With Low Dose n‐MoS2 Improve Soybean Yield and Quality by Reconfiguring Rhizosphere Chemistry and Strengthening Nitrogen Fixation

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Nano‐enabled fertilizers can enhance biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and yield in legumes; yet, their interactions with earthworms remain poorly understood. Herein, we performed a 120‐day greenhouse experiment applying low‐dose n‐MoS2 at 10 mg kg−1 with earthworms to evaluate interactive effects on soybean yield and underlying mechanisms ...
