Stress Nutrition in Aquatic Animals: From Definition to Practice
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aquaculture faces numerous challenges, with stress being one of the major issues that lead to growth loss, metabolic disorders, weakened immunity, redox imbalance, and organ damage in aquatic animals. Nutritional intervention is one of the effective strategies to address these problems. Traditional research has primarily focused on the impacts

The role of parthenogenesis in snakes
, 2021 Parthenogenesis, or the production of embryos from unfertilized eggs, is a form of reproduction that occurs predominantly in different taxa of invertebrates where various types of such reproduction are recognized. Some animal species consist exclusively,

Mating System and Facultative Parthenogenesis in the Termite Reticulitermes speratus [PDF]
, 2005 Both Social Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps) and Isoptera (termites) have independently evolved eusociality based on similar colony structures. In social Hymenoptera, queens found their colonies either solitarity or together with other newly mated ...

Parthenogenesis in birds: a review
, 2018 Parthenogenesis or ‘virgin birth’ is embryonic development in unfertilized eggs. It is a routine means of reproduction in many invertebrates. However, even though parthenogenesis occurs naturally in even more advanced vertebrates, like birds, it is ...

The emerging phylogenetic pattern of parthenogenesis in snakes
, 2020 Parthenogenesis occurs across a variety of vertebrate taxa. Within squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes), a group for which the largest number of cases has been documented, both obligate and facultative types of parthenogenesis exists, although the ...

BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground The evolution of differences in gamete size and number between sexes is a cornerstone of sexual selection theories. The green macroalga Ulva, with incipient anisogamy and parthenogenetic gametes, provides a unique system to investigate ...

Ecology and EvolutionParents can invest in offspring by transferring environmental factors, such as nutrients or diet‐derived defence chemicals, into eggs or embryos. However, in systems where females can reproduce facultatively without a male (facultative parthenogenesis ...

Data from: Sex at the margins: parthenogenesis vs. facultative and obligate sex in a Neotropical ant
, 2012 Geographic parthenogenesis is a distribution pattern, in which parthenogenetic populations tend to live in marginal habitats, at higher latitudes and altitudes and island-like habitats compared with the sexual forms. The facultatively parthenogenetic ant
