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 ...

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

Marine heatwave and keystone predator loss drive broad-scale decline and hinder recovery of a rocky intertidal kelp. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Human activities are increasingly driving the co‐occurrence of multiple ecological stressors, resulting in interactive and cumulative impacts that can reshape ecosystem dynamics and accelerate population declines of climate‐sensitive species. Here, we use over two decades of rocky intertidal monitoring data from 17 sites spanning over 1200 km ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Vertebrate interleukins originated in invertebrates?

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2007
Previous studies have demonstrated that invertebrate immune and neural tissues contain mammalian-like cytokines, which activate specific cellular functions. Therefore, it was of interest to attempt to identify these molecules via Applied Biosystems Human

Ancestral Origin and Functional Expression of a Hyaluronic Acid Pathway Complement in Mussels

Biology
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key extracellular matrix component of vertebrates, where it mediates cell adhesion, immune regulation, and tissue remodeling through its interaction with specific receptors.

Effect of soiling agents on disinfection efficacy of a pulsed‐xenon UV lamp towards Listeria monocytogenes on stainless steel surfaces

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This study quantifies the effects of different soils found in the food processing environment on the efficiency of pulsed‐xenon UV disinfection. Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne illness that poses a significant threat to human health in young, old, and immunocompromised persons and accordingly, prevention of Listeria contamination is of ...

New Insights into the Mechanisms of Toxicity of Aging Microplastics

Toxics
Nowadays, synthetic polymer (plastic) particles are ubiquitous in the environment. It is known that for several decades microplastics (MPs) have been accumulating in the World Ocean, becoming available to a large variety of marine organisms. Particularly
