Are rare plant species less resistant than common ones to herbivores? A multi-plant species study using above- and below-ground generalist herbivores. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol, 2023
In our multi‐herbivore and multi‐plant species experiment, we address the link between plant resistance to herbivores and their local and regional rarity by putting it into context with their life‐history traits, habitats and evolutionary history. We found that rare plant species are not less resistant to herbivores than common ones.

Parasitological studies of snails of different regions Ukraine

open access: yesНауковий вісник Львівського національного університету ветеринарної медицини та біотехнологій імені С.З. Ґжицького: Серія Ветеринарні науки, 2019
Dandelion (Gastropoda) is a numerical class of molluscs (about 130 thousand species), which representatives live in seas, salted and freshwater basins, and in wetlands on land.

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

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesGlobal 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 ...

Finding Solutions for Fibrosis: Understanding the Innate Mechanisms Used by Super‐Regenerator Vertebrates to Combat Scarring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 8, Issue 15, August 4, 2021., 2021
Fibrosis is a serious medical problem that remains unresolved in many cases. However, regenerative organisms have evolved to avoid fibrosis and are capable of scar‐free healing. Herein, the physiological and molecular mechanisms behind fibrosis and regenerative wound healing are reviewed and how this knowledge may be applied to solve issues in human ...

Phylogeny and evolutionary history of the amniote egg

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 282, Issue 7, Page 1080-1122, July 2021., 2021
We review morphological features of the amniote egg and embryos in a large comparative phylogenetic framework, including all major clades of extant vertebrates. We discuss 40 characters that are relevant for an analysis of the evolutionary history of the vertebrate egg. Special attention is given to the morphology of the cellular yolk sac, the eggshell,

Climate shifts vs. edaphic humidity and the difficulty of palaeoreconstructions – a malacological study on stable isotopes in Quaternary dune sequences of Fuerteventura

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 426-440, April 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Dune palaeosurface sequences on the Eastern Canary Islands were investigated for stable isotope records in gastropod shells of the genus Theba. Due to the ecology of the taxon and the special oceanic insularity of the study site, we assume that δ18Oshell signals in our case mainly reflect shifts in δ18O signals of sea surface water.

Histological Studies of Snails at Different Periods of Their Life Activity

open access: yesUkrainian Journal of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, 2022
Large species of terrestrial mollusks are used for human consumption and are bred for this purpose. They have become a part of national cuisine in many countries. Histology is used in many fields of humane and veterinary medicine.
