Suitability of Laurentian Great Lakes for invasive species based on global species distribution models and local habitat

open access: yesEcosphere, 2017
Efficient management and prevention of species invasions requires accurate prediction of where species of concern can arrive and persist. Species distribution models provide one way to identify potentially suitable habitat by developing the relationship ...

Estimates of genetic parameters and genotype-by-environment interaction for inner shell color and inner shell luster in the golden strain of the freshwater mussel Hyriopsis cumingii

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2022
Color is an important trait of pearls which significantly affects their economic value. Golden seawater pearls with excellent luster are becoming popular among consumers, but golden freshwater pearls are rare.

Biodegradable Natural Polymer‐Based Drug Delivery Systems for Bone Tissue Engineering

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 966-988, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing incidence of bone diseases and injuries, especially among aging populations, has underscored the shortcomings of traditional treatments such as bone grafts and metal implants, which often face complications including immune rejection, mechanical failure, and delayed healing.

Air Exposure as a Control Mechanism for the Golden Mussel,Limnoperna fortunei, (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 2004
ABSTRACT We examined the response of the invasive freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei to air exposure under different conditions of relative humidity, at 25.00 ± 0,4°C. Survival of L. fortunei increased with relative humidity. Specimens exposed to air without humidity control (49 to 63% relative humidity) did not survive more than 120 hours, while ...

Targeting Inflammaging: A Metformin‐Releasing Titanium Implant Reprograms Senescent Macrophages to Orchestrate Angiogenesis and Osteogenesis

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Bone defect repair in elderly patients is frequently compromised by reduced osteogenic capacity and delayed healing. Chronic inflammation‐driven inflammaging is a critical contributor to this impairment, characterized by dysfunctional autophagy in senescent macrophages (S‐MΦs), excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and ...

Biochemical responses of the golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei under dietary glyphosate exposure

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2018
The aim of this study was to analyze the biochemical alterations in the golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei under dietary glyphosate exposure. Mussels were fed during 4 weeks with the green algae Scenedesmus vacuolatus previously exposed to a commercial formulation of glyphosate (6 mg L-1 active principle) with the addition of alkyl aryl polyglycol ether

Surface complexity and gastropod exclusion drive colonization of an intertidal eco‐engineered structure

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Habitat complexity and grazing by invertebrate molluscs shaped community structure and ecosystem functioning on eco‐engineered substrates through distinct mechanisms. Increasing structural complexity increased invertebrate species richness with limited effects on macroalgae and carbon flux, while grazer exclusion had strong effects on macroalgal ...

Including Fitness and Health Proxies Can Alter Our Understanding of Habitat Selection

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
Habitat selection studies rarely account for fitness or health, yet our simulations show that ignoring such information can misguide management actions. Using three case studies, we demonstrate how easily health and fitness proxies can be integrated into habitat selection analyses and the added insights they provide, such as links between habitat ...
