THE EVOLUTION OF SOME BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN THE HONEYBEES’ HAEMOLYMPH (A. M. CARPATHICA) COLLECTED IN THE INACTIVE SEASON

open access: yesScientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
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]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2014
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

Transcriptomic Landscape Reveals Immunity Related Trade‐Offs in an Invertebrate‐Fungal Host–Parasite System

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 18, September 2026.
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?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
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

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
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

Cellular and humoral immunity in shellfish: foundations for sustainable health management in aquaculture

open access: yesFrontiers in Aquaculture
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 ...

Abalone Gut Microbiome Regulators: A Review Synthesizing Gut Physiology, Microorganisms, Diet and the Environment

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
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]

open access: yesJournal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2023
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

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
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 ...
