Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Microplastics in Agricultural Soil: Fate, Impacts, and Bioremediation by Earthworms

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Microplastics enter the soil through various means, including the degradation of plastic film mulch, waste from cosmetics industries and municipalities, and the use of bioplastic seed coatings. These microplastics disrupt soil structure, microbial activity, enzyme function, and plant growth.

Insects as sustainable source of feed for poultry

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Production of animal feed in an environmentally effective way is the key point for the development of sustainable agriculture. The livestock farming industry is increasing globally to meet the demand for animal protein, resulting in higher food–feed competition while rationing animal diets. In addition, it creates increased pressure on natural

Comparative analysis of primary and secondary metabolites in wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivated under varying photosynthetic photon flux densities and growth periods

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND To elucidate the impact of environmental factors on the nutritional quality of metabolites in wheat seedlings, both primary and secondary metabolites must be comprehensively examined. We thus conducted a comparative analysis of these metabolites in wheat seedlings grown under various photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD) (200,

Nutrients on the move: Investigating large scale fatty acid exports from European ponds via emerging insects

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Permanent ponds are key landscape units that supply various ecosystem services. Notably, the export of aquatic subsidies to land via emerging insects may significantly influence terrestrial food webs. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which enhance consumer fitness, are among the essential exported components.
