Neuropeptides and degenerin/epithelial Na+ channels: a relationship from mammals to cnidarians

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1583-1595, 1 May 2023., 2023
Abstract figure legend Several degenerin (DEG)/epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) ion channels interact with neuropeptides. Some DEG/ENaCs from vertebrates, including humans, are modulated by neuropeptides, whereas others, from bilaterian invertebrates and cnidarians, are directly activated by them. For modulation, neuropeptides [here, RFamides (RFa)] bind,

Physiological insight into the conserved properties of Caenorhabditis elegans acid‐sensing degenerin/epithelial sodium channels

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1625-1653, 1 May 2023., 2023
Abstract figure legend Polar view of a phylogram of representative members of the DEG/ENaC superfamily, coloured according to phylum (Annelida, yellow; Arthropoda, light green; Chordata, dark green; Cnidaria, blue; Mollusca, dark purple; Nematoda, magenta; Placozoa, red). Construction of the phylogram is described in Fig. 1.

Distinct glycoconjugate cell surface structures make the pelagic diatom Thalassiosira rotula an attractive habitat for bacteria

Journal of Phycology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 309-322, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Interactions between marine diatoms and bacteria have been studied for decades. However, the visualization of physical interactions between these diatoms and their colonizers is still limited. To enhance our understanding of these specific interactions, a new Thalassiosira rotula isolate from the North Sea (strain 8673) was characterized by ...

Collembola are Among the Most Pesticide‐Sensitive Soil Fauna Groups: A Meta‐Analysis

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 2333-2341, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Pesticides are a major concern because of their deleterious impacts on biodiversity and on the ecological functions provided by living organisms. Although earthworms are well studied, smaller‐sized organisms, such as Collembola, also contribute to the agroecosystem functioning, and their sensitivity to pesticides makes them good bioindicators ...

Long‐Term Effects of Imidacloprid, Thiacloprid, and Clothianidin on the Growth and Development of Eisenia andrei

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1686-1695, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Recently, the high toxicity of neonicotinoids to the survival and reproduction of adult earthworms has become apparent in standard 56‐day toxicity tests. The persistence of some neonicotinoids and/or their repeated application may lead to long‐term exposure, possibly also affecting other parts of the life cycle of earthworms. The present study

Synthesis and Characterization of a Biodegradable and Robust Film Using Gracilarialichenoides and Sargassumhorneri for Packaging Applications

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
In this study, a biodegradable and mechanically robust film was synthesized using seaweeds (Gracilarialichenoides and Sargassumhorneri), and its physicochemical and mechanical properties were characterized. In addition, its applicability in the packaging area was studied.

Microplastics in terrestrial ecosystems: Moving beyond the state of the art to minimize the risk of ecological surprise

Global Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 17, Page 3969-3986, September 2021., 2021
Our systematic assessment of previous microplastic research revealed that most studies have been conducted on single species (50%) compared to studies targeting exclusively multi‐species assemblages (36%). The results of single species testing showed that microplastics are rarely lethal for terrestrial organisms, but rather induce sub‐lethal effects ...
