The biochemical analyses of the blood are largely used for the routine diagnosis and especially for the metabolic survey in farm animals. These facts conduct us to the idea that similar analyses, applied on honeybee hemolymph, could be used IN monitoring

ROLE OF POLLEN AND/OR BEE BREAD AVAILABILITY IN BROOD REARING AND CELLULAR IMMUNE SYSTEM OF HONEYBEES [PDF]
The role of pollen and/or bee bread availability was evaluated on brood rearing, protein content and haemolymph of 6-days-old larvae worker honeybees. The highest area of stored pollen and/or bee bread and worker unsealed brood was recorded during August

ABSTRACT Host–parasite interactions represent an evolutionary arms race, with parasites evolving strategies to exploit host resources, and hosts deploying mechanisms to resist or tolerate infection. Unlike vertebrates, which possess a sophisticated immune system, invertebrates rely entirely on innate immunity to combat pathogens.

Why does the Namib Desert tenebrionid Onymacris unguicularis (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) fog-bask?
Dehydration of Onymacris unguicularis (Haag) for 10 days at 27°C resulted in a weight loss of 14.9%, and a 37% decrease in haemolymph volume. Although there was an overall decrease in the lipid content during this period, metabolic water production was ...

An Update on Advancement in Genomics Resources for Spiny Lobster Aquaculture Development
ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of high‐throughput sequencing technologies has transformed aquaculture genomics, enabling unprecedented insights into the biology and improvement of non‐model aquatic species. Among crustaceans, lobsters represent one of the most commercially valuable yet genomically underexplored taxa. This review synthesises the current

Shellfish, including crustaceans and molluscs, inhabit aquatic environments that are densely populated with microorganisms and are therefore continuously exposed to a wide range of potential pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, and ...

ABSTRACT Abalone are economically, ecologically and culturally significant marine molluscs, with both wild and farmed populations under pressure due to intrinsic and extrinsic stressors. Abalone performance and health are centred on a highly specialized digestive system supported by a diverse gut microbiome, which enables nutrient assimilation ...

Acid and Alkaline Phosphatase Activity in the Indian Apple Snail Pila globosa (Swainson) During Aestivation [PDF]
The Indian apple snail Pila globosa (Swainson) experiences an annual cycle of aestivation (summer sleep) as a survival strategy during a hot and dry period to avoid damage from high temperatures and the risk of desiccation.

A Field Tool for the Rapid Measurement of Mussel Valve Closure Strength as a Proxy for Condition
ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels (Unionida) are key to the health of many freshwater systems through the ecosystem functions and services they provide, yet their populations are declining across the globe. To address these declines with appropriate conservation actions, it is necessary to apply informative tools for measuring and monitoring mussel health ...
