The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

The Physicochemical Properties of Flavor Enhancer Made from Different Types of Snail Protein Hydrolysates

International Journal on Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources, 2022
Golden apple snails, apple snails, and freshwater snails are mollusks found in shallow waters with mud on the bottom, such as rice fields, swamps, and riverbanks. Snail has a high protein content of 14%-19%, but its utilization is still limited.

Comparing non‐staining methods with Mutvei's solution to visualize growth increments in short‐lived intertidal marine gastropod shells

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mutvei's solution is a widely utilized standard staining method for revealing growth increments in biogenic carbonates; however, it is a slightly toxic, destructive approach with varying success across species groups. Therefore, there has been growing interest in finding non‐toxic, less destructive, and straightforward alternative techniques ...

Effects of External Calcium Concentrations on Calcium uptake in Freshwater Snail Planorbarius Corneus L.

Croatian Journal of Fisheries
Calcium content of water is of fundamental importance for freshwater snails since it is correlated with growth rates, egg fertility and fecundity. In this study, calcium uptake from the external medium (tap water) in two groups of freshwater snail ...
