Investigations into feline (Felis catus) palatability : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Nutritional Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 2004
Due to the finicky nature of the domestic cats' feeding habits, palatability is a highly complex area of feline nutrition, but one which is vitally important, with pet owners today selecting a brand based on palatability rather than nutritional value ...

Optimizing biophysical properties of cellular niches to enhance stem cell‐derived extracellular vesicle function in musculoskeletal regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from stem cells show promise for applications in regenerative medicine, but their scalability and yield remain challenges. This review explores the approaches for biophysical modulations within cell niches on EV properties, discusses the current clinical application of EVs, and provides an outlook on the existing ...

At-Sea Measurement of the Effect of Ship Noise on Mussel Behaviour

Sensors
Anthropogenic underwater noise is an increasing form of pollution that negatively affects biota. The effect of this pollutant on many marine species is still largely unknown, especially those that are more sensitive to particle motion than to sound ...

Comparison of Pearl Sac Formation in Four Mussel Species (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Unionoida) at the Graft Implantation

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2019
In this study, the most suitable mantle part and host mussel species for pearl sac formation were determined. A total of 400 mussels, consisting of four different types (Unio terminalis, Potamida littoralis, Leguminaia wheatleyi and Anodonta pseudodopsis)

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
