Exploring the Sustainability Landscape of Nature‐Based Solutions in Food Systems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) offer a pathway toward more resilient food systems. Although previous studies analysed various sustainability benefits of integrating NbS within food systems, the field remains fragmented, with a significant gap in understanding development patterns, emerging research trends at the intersection of NbS, food systems,

Diversity of freshwater shrimp in South Sumatra

BIO Web of Conferences
South Sumatra is a unique environment because it is known as a floodplain area. When the rainy season, the river system is connected to other areas. Floodplains are created by seasonal changes that affect the freshwater environment of freshwater shrimp and promote adaptations throughout all life stages of the biota living in them.

Artemia salina Toxicity Assay: Standardization in a 24‐Well Microplate

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bioassays with Artemia sp. are widely used in aquatic, environmental, and human toxicology as an initial tool to investigate the toxicity of plant extracts, isolated compounds, drugs, and products of natural or synthetic origin. These assays allow for the estimation of the median lethal concentration (LC50) and guide subsequent studies in ...

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Mercury in Fish From a Gold‐Mining‐Impacted Amazonian River: Biomonitoring and Human Health Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Peixoto de Azevedo River, located in northern Mato Grosso, southern Brazilian Amazon, has a long history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM). This study evaluated total mercury (THg) concentrations in fish tissues to assess biomagnification and potential risks.

Allergy to freshwater shrimp (Gammarus).

Journal of investigational allergology & clinical immunology, 2005
We report three new cases of allergy to Gammarus, two of them involving cutaneous symptoms, and the third one with occupational asthma. The results showed exposure to feed containing Gammarus shrimp to be the main cause of the allergic symptoms in the three patients.

From Consumer Plastics to Aquatic Toxicants: Oxidative and Endocrine Effects of Microplastics on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) Larvae

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary microplastics (MPs) from single‐use consumer products are rapidly becoming one of the most persistent and widespread pollutants of our time. Freshwater systems act as early sinks for MPs where fragmentation and additive leaching expose aquatic life to a broad spectrum of toxic compounds.

Do hydroelectric dams affect the abundance and population structure of freshwater shrimps?

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2020
Freshwater shrimps play an important role in many ecological processes since they are epibenthic detritivores but also prey on other invertebrates and are predated by fishes.
