Nanocrystalline Cellulose from the Solitary Tunicate Phallusia Mammillata, a Valuable Nanocellulose Precursor

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores the potential of locally harvested Phallusia mammillata, a tunicate usually discarded as waste from mussles farming as a viable source for producing various high‐grade cellulose derivatives in the form of nanofibrils (NFC) and nanocrystals (CNC). Abstract Ascidians are ubiquitous filter‐feeding marine invertebrates, the only animals

Identification of free amino acids (FAA) that are important as major intracellular osmolytes in the estuarine Hong Kong oyster, Crassostrea hongkongensis

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2023
Crassostrea hongkongensis (Hong Kong oyster), a commercially valuable bivalve thriving in the estuaries along the northern coast of the South China Sea, is threatened by the increase of salinity during the dry season. It is essential to improve its hyper-

Automatic image-based identification and biomass estimation of invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Understanding how biological communities respond to environmental changes is a key challenge in ecology and ecosystem management. The apparent decline of insect populations necessitates more biomonitoring but the time-consuming sorting and identification of taxa pose strong limitations on how many insect samples can be processed.

On the Relentless Pursuit of an Oral Insulin Delivery System: How Far is Too Far?

open access: yesAdvanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Injectable insulin preparations have far outpaced oral ones by virtue of adequate bioavailability and are driven by innovations, including insulin pumps, real‐time blood glucose monitoring, and artificial intelligence. In contrast, oral insulin delivery systems, including nanomedicines, continue to struggle and lag due to varied reasons.

Multiple scales of biological variability in New Zealand streams : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Stream fish communities in Taranaki, New Zealand, were studied for the patterns and drivers of their spatial ecology. The study was focused on three main themes: a) complementarity between geography and landuse in driving regional distribution patterns ...

Spatial variability in the hyporheic zone refugium of temporary streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A key ecological role hypothesized for the hyporheic zone is as a refugium that promotes survival of benthic invertebrates during adverse conditions in the surface stream.

Enzyme-Assisted Discovery of Antioxidant Peptides from Edible Marine Invertebrates: A Review

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2017
Marine invertebrates, such as oysters, mussels, clams, scallop, jellyfishes, squids, prawns, sea cucumbers and sea squirts, are consumed as foods. These edible marine invertebrates are sources of potent bioactive peptides.

Nanoparticle Delivery of Antisense miR162 Inhibits Invasive Habitat Adaption of Alternanthera Philoxeroides

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the miRNA pathway plays a key role in the invasive growth of Alternanthera philoxeroides in aquatic habitats. Specifically, miR162 is critical for its invasive success, facilitating stem elongation and enhancing survival during submergence.

The Influence of Canopy Cover on the Ecological Function of A Key Autogenic Ecosystem Engineer

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
Intertidal fucoid algae can function as ecosystem engineers across temperate marine regions. In this investigation, we assessed the function of the alga dominating rocky reefs in temperate Australia and New Zealand, Hormosira banksii.
