Glycosaminoglycans in Anodonta californiensis, a Freshwater Mussel
The Biological Bulletin, 1993 The synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in a freshwater mussel was studied in organ culture using labeled precursors. The major GAGs synthesized were determined and characterized by chemical and enzymatic methods. They were shown to be heparin and an unusual type of heparan sulfate. Gills produced about 50% of each polymer; mantles synthesized little

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have become central to environmental governance. Yet, their societal legitimacy depends on how they are framed in public discourse. This study investigates how Norwegian media actors construct narratives around NbS, whose voices are amplified, and the extent to which plural and Indigenous epistemologies are ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are valuable sentinels of aquatic systems due to their long lifespans and resilience in environments impacted by contaminants. The Permian Basin, dominated by the oil and gas sector, spans western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, USA, including the Pecos River and its tributaries, the Delaware and Black Rivers.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems poses substantial risks to freshwater organisms, with mixture effects often deviating from predictions based on single‐metal toxicity. Understanding how age‐specific sensitivities and multiple exposure pathways influence mixture effects is critical for accurate risk assessment.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial detritivores such as isopods and springtails play a vital role in cycling nutrients through soil ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs, < 5 mm) are increasingly recognized as contaminants of terrestrial soils, yet little is known about whether soil invertebrates themselves are impacted by consuming these plastics or if they can generate ...
