Was Hupehsuchus a baleen whale-style filter feeder in the Early Triassic? A re-examination of the evidence [PDF]
PeerJOne of the recurring paleobiological questions over the last three decades has been whether there were any filter feeding tetrapods before whales evolved.

Size-Specific Growth of Filter-Feeding Marine Invertebrates
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Filter-feeding invertebrates are found in almost all of the animal classes that are represented in the sea, where they are the necessary links between suspended food particles (phytoplankton and free-living bacteria) and the higher trophic levels in the ...

Oxygen Extraction Efficiency and Tolerance to Hypoxia in Sponges
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringSponges have always been filter feeders, in contrast to all the other filter-feeding invertebrate groups for which this feeding mode is a secondary adaptation. This study calls attention to this aspect, which explains why sponges are tolerant to hypoxia,

Applied Sciences, 2022 This study designed a wide-beamwidth pixelated dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) combined with a low-pass filter (LPF) to suppress harmonics. The DRA was designed to create a wide-beam pattern with a pixelated structure.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Five shark stocks in the waters around Taiwan were assessed using the LBB method, addressing the present gap. Among them, only one filter-feeding shark, megamouth shark Megachasma pelagios, qualified as having a healthy status.

Microplastic Ingestion by a Benthic Amphipod in Different Feeding Modes
Journal of Water and Environment Technology, 2022 Microplastics adversely affect organisms through physical damage, inhibition of food assimilation, and/or toxicity of chemical leachates. We investigated the influence of feeding mode on microplastic ingestion by using polystyrene ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Prospecting the protein design landscape
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Actual and Model-Predicted Growth of Sponges—With a Bioenergetic Comparison to Other Filter-Feeders
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Sponges are one of the earliest-evolved and simplest groups of animals, but they share basic characteristics with more advanced and later-evolved filter-feeding invertebrates, such as mussels.
