Comparative Embryology and Transcriptomics of Asellus infernus, an Isopod Crustacean From Sulfidic Groundwater. [PDF]
Evol DevIndividuals of Asellus infernus, a sulfidic subterranean population of the Asellus aquaticus species complex from southeastern Romania (left) and surface individuals of A. aquaticus (right). Extreme differences in phenotype are seen comparing the subterranean and surface individuals as adults (top panels) and as embryonic samples (bottom panels ...

A glimpse into the biosynthetic potential and resistome of microbial communities inhabiting sulfidic, chemoautotrophic Movile Cave ecosystem [PDF]
ARPHA Conference Abstracts, 2022 Background: Microbial secondary metabolites (SM), especially those produced by soil microorganisms, have been a valuable source of antibiotics, antitumor agents, pigments, growth-promoting substances, etc., with tremendous market potential. These molecules are encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) within the bacterial genome.

System Dynamics Review, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 239-276, July/September 2023., 2023 Abstract Various methods have been proposed to analyze national trends of malnutrition and food insecurity; however, these methods often fail to consider regional specificities that drive national food security dynamics. This case study seeks to close this gap through the novel use of participatory causal loop diagrams (CLDs) to analyze the ...

A new cave Pseudoscorpion from the region of Mangalia (Romania): Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) borissketi n. sp. (Chthoniidae, Pseudoscorpiones) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014 Only two species of Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) (Chthoniidae) are presently known from Dobruja, Romania. Among these one should mention Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) tetrachelatus (Preyssler) (not endemic) and C.

Swap It on WhatsApp: The Moral Economy of Informal Online Exchange Networks in Contemporary Cuba
The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 27, Issue 1-2, Page 80-100, June 2022., 2022 Abstract The inhabitants of Cuba's capital, Havana, are using semipublic group chats on messaging applications such as WhatsApp and Telegram to access food, hygiene products, medication, and other basic necessities during times of scarcity. This has been especially prevalent during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Such chat groups created digital spaces in which

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 14, Page 3530-3547, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Organisms well suited for the study of ecotype formation have wide distribution ranges, where they adapt to multiple drastically different habitats repeatedly over space and time. Here we study such ecotypes in a Crustacean model, Asellus aquaticus, a commonly occurring isopod found in freshwater habitats as diverse as streams, caves and lakes.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 195-208, April 2021., 2021 Summary Methylated amines are ubiquitous in the environment and play a role in regulating the earth's climate via a set of complex biological and chemical reactions. Microbial degradation of these compounds is thought to be a major sink. Recently we isolated a facultative methylotroph, Gemmobacter sp. LW‐1, an isolate from the unique environment Movile

Niphargus-Thiothrix associations may be widespread in sulphidic groundwater ecosystems: evidence from southeastern Romania. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2014 Abstract Niphargus is a speciose amphipod genus found in groundwater habitats across Europe. Three Niphargus species living in the sulphidic Frasassi caves in Italy harbour sulphur‐oxidizing Thiothrix bacterial ectosymbionts. These three species are distantly related, implying that the ability to form ectosymbioses with Thiothrix may be common among ...

ARPHA Conference Abstracts, 2022 Life in Movile Cave (Romania) relies entirely on carbon fixation by bacteria oxidizing sulfide, methane and ammonia, using oxygen, nitrate, sulfate, and ferric iron as electron acceptors. There, our attention was drawn by a white veil-like structure at the water surface.
