Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metals in Finfish and Shellfish Samples From Tano River, Ghana: A Food Safety Issue

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study investigates mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) contamination in water, sediments, finfish, and shellfish from the Tano River in Ghana’s Western North Region. Forty‐eight fish and shellfish samples (12 species) and 27 paired water/sediment samples were analyzed.

Removing invasive stream macrofauna shifts nontarget invertebrate mesofauna through facilitation

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Positive interactions among non‐native species can drive invasional meltdowns to the detriment of native biota. Here, we assessed whether targeted control of aquatic invasive species (AIS) can benefit native species by eliminating synergies among invaders.

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Captive Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus Linnaeus, 1758) in Central Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) are determining factors in the health of Asian Elephants. The current coproscopic study recorded 95.2% prevalence rates with 19 different GIPs from these animals. The major risk factors could be overlapping niches with domestic and wild animals, irregular medication and the existence of critical stressors. .

Novel Mito‐Nuclear Combinations Facilitate the Global Invasion of a Major Agricultural Crop Pest

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 34, September 11, 2024.
Here, the study describes a novel invasion mechanism displayed by fall armyworm that facilitates its expansion and establishment in new environments. The rice strain used increases energy metabolism, faster wing‐beat frequencies, and lower wing loadings to drive greater flight performance, while corn stran adapts with more relaxed mitochondria and ...

The molluscicidal activity of niclosamide (Bayluscide WP70®) on Melanoides tuberculata (Thiaridae), a snail associated with habitats of Biomphalaria glabrata (Planorbidae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
The aim of this study was to determine the toxicity of niclosamide (Bayluscide ®) on Melanoides tuberculata and Biomphalaria glabrata under laboratory conditions. The latter species is the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni (Sambon 1917).

Long‐term climate and hydrologic regimes shape stream invertebrate community responses to a hurricane disturbance

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 7, Page 823-835, July 2024.
Aridity and local climate predictably affect the susceptibility of stream invertebrates to hurricane disturbances. Abstract Disturbances can produce a spectrum of short‐ and long‐term ecological consequences that depend on complex interactions of the characteristics of the event, antecedent environmental conditions, and the intrinsic properties of ...

Habitat preference of freshwater snails in relation to environmental factors and the presence of the competitor snail Melanoides tuberculatus (Müller, 1774)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005
Our objective is to evaluate the habitat preference of freshwater snails in relation to environmental factors and the presence of the competitor snail Melanoides tuberculatus. In the first phase, snails was collected at 12 sites.
