Energy densities of key prey species in the California Current Ecosystem

Frontiers in Marine Science
The energetic content of primary and secondary consumers is central to understanding ecosystem functioning, community assembly, and trophodynamics. However, these foundational data are often limited, especially for marine ecosystems.

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

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 ...

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.

Dual‐Functional Food‐Derived Bioactive Peptides: Expanding Beyond Biological Activity

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This review examines recent advances in dual‐ and multifunctional food‐derived bioactive peptides, highlights emerging research integrating biological and techno‐functional properties, and offers perspectives to inform future studies in this field. ABSTRACT Food‐derived bioactive peptides (FBPs) are a diverse group of peptides with proven physiological

Marine n‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Mitigate Obesity Traits Through PRDM16‐Driven Gene–Nutrient Interaction and Spatiotemporal Scale Browning Process

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
This large cohort study of 45,664 participants from the UK Biobank provides strong epidemiological evidence that fish oil use was associated with 12% and 7% lower risks of obesity and high body fat percentage, respectively. Mechanistically, marine n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids mitigate obesity traits through PRDM16‐driven gene–nutrient interactions ...

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 ...
