Rapid self-assembly of complex biomolecular architectures during mussel byssus biofabrication
Nature Communications, 2017 Protein-based biogenic materials provide important inspiration for the development of high-performance polymers. The fibrous mussel byssus, for instance, exhibits exceptional wet adhesion, abrasion resistance, toughness and self-healing capacity ...

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

The Minimal Nonplanar Strong Digraphs
Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Kuratowski's theorem says that the minimal (under subgraph containment) graphs that are not planar are the subdivisions of K 5 ${K}_{5}$ and of K 3 , 3 ${K}_{3,3}$. Here we study the minimal (under subdigraph containment) strongly‐connected digraphs that are not planar.

Is blue mussel caging an efficient method for monitoring environmental microplastics pollution?
Science of the Total Environment, 2019 The effectiveness of mussel caging for active microplastics (MPs) biomonitoring was investigated for the first time by comparing abundance and characteristics (shape, size, color and type of polymers) of MPs ingested by caged depurated blue mussels with ...

Ecology, life history and conservation status of Westralunio carteri IREDALE 1934, an endemic freshwater mussel of South-western Australia [PDF]
, 2012 Westralunio carteri, the only hyriid in south-western Australia, was nominated ‘Vulnerable’ (IUCN) in 1994. The aims of this study were to update the species’ range and determine factors limiting its distribution, quantify tolerance to threats, quantify ...
