Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Monitoring Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) distribution in the Southern Ocean: environmental DNA (eDNA) adds to the toolbox

Frontiers in Marine Science
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) is a key species of the Southern Ocean ecosystem, immensely abundant and targeted by the krill fishery. For their sustainable management, krill distribution and biomass estimates are required, typically achieved ...

Safety assessment of Superba™ krill powder: Subchronic toxicity study in rats

Toxicology Reports, 2015
The safety of krill powder was assessed in a subchronic 13-week toxicity study where rats were fed krill powder or control diets. The krill powder inclusion in the test diet was 9.67% (w/w).

More Than 10 Years on: Does a State‐of‐the‐Art Review and Synthesis Offer New Frameworks to Guide Future Design for Remanufacturing Research?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is strong evidence that design for remanufacturing (DfRem) can reduce initial‐design carbon emissions by up to 30%, and that product design can critically affect remanufacturing feasibility, yet academic adoption of DfRem remains limited.

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Effects of krill oil and lean and fatty fish on cardiovascular risk markers: a randomised controlled trial

Journal of Nutritional Science, 2018
Fish consumption and supplementation with n-3 fatty acids reduce CVD risk. Krill oil is an alternative source of marine n-3 fatty acids and few studies have investigated its health effects.

Characterization of the Antioxidant Peptides Prepared From the Seed Kernel of Xanthoceras sorbifolium Using Enzymatic Hydrolysis: Molecular Docking Analysis and In Vitro Binding Studies

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
XSPH‐I exhibits excellent cellular antioxidant activity and cell protective effects. Four novel antioxidant peptides were screened from XSPH‐I peptide, and the newly synthetic peptide exhibits excellent antioxidant properties in vitro. ABSTRACT In this study, the antioxidant peptides (XSPH) from Xanthoceras sorbifolium oleifera were extracted and ...

Sinking krill carcasses as hotspots of microbial carbon and nitrogen cycling in the Arctic

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Krill represent a major link between primary producers and higher trophic levels in polar marine food webs. Potential links to lower trophic levels, such as heterotrophic microorganisms, are less well documented.
