Recent Progress on Graphitic Carbon Nitride–Based Photocatalysts for Hydrogen Peroxide Synthesis

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent progress in using graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) photocatalysts to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). It highlights how solar energy can cleanly convert water and oxygen into this valuable chemical. We discuss key modification strategies, such as defect engineering, doping, and junction construction, to enhance ...

On the identity of broad-shelled mussels (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Mytilus) from the Dutch delta region

open access: yes, 2011
Late Quaternary (Eemian) deposits of the Netherlands contain shells that resemble those of living Mytilus galloprovincialis. Similar broad-shelled mytilids also occur in estuaries of the southwestern Netherlands together with slender individuals typical ...

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

Freshwater Mussels as Biofilters

open access: yes, 2022
Freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) are filter feeders, removing phytoplankton and other suspended particulate matter from the water. The removal of suspended matter from water is often considered desirable, in order to reduce algal blooms and in ...

Immunomodulatory Effect of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Scale Gelatin Peptides in RAW264.7 Macrophages and Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Currently, small‐molecular‐weight collagen peptides are a research hotspot in functional factor development due to their high bioavailability and diverse bioactivities. In this study, gelatin was extracted from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) scales by hot water extraction, followed by pepsin hydrolysis and ultrafiltration to obtain the < 3 ...

Interactive effects of pH, temperature and exposure period on native and invasive mussels from the West Coast of South Africa

open access: yes, 2013
Global warming and ocean acidification due to an increase in anthropogenic carbon dioxide can impact marine calcifying organisms. Shells of marine calcifying organisms protect their internal soft tissue and may be key in determining the susceptibility of

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Risk analysis on the import of mussels from the Limfjord and the Isefjord (Denmark) to the Oosterschelde

open access: yes, 2008
This report is the result of a risk analysis on the introduction of exotic non-indigenous species – species that have their origin outside the North Atlantic Continental Shelf region – with the import of bottom culture mussels from the Isefjord and the ...

Glochidia ecology in wild fish populations and laboratory determination of competent host fishes for an endemic freshwater mussel of south-western Australia

open access: yes, 2012
Glochidia (parasitic larvae) of freshwater mussels generally require a fish as a host. Westralunio carteri Iredale, 1934 (Bivalvia : Hyriidae), the only freshwater mussel found in south-western Australia, was listed as Vulnerable, but recently changed to
