Of Titans and Terraria: Exploring and Conceptualising Philanthropic Foundations Through the Lens of Metaphors

Journal of Philanthropy, Volume 31, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Addressing ongoing calls for a more robust understanding of philanthropic foundations, this paper uses metaphor analysis to map and analyse analogical metaphors on foundations—metaphors that make a direct comparison between philanthropic foundations and another domain—put forward in academic and non‐academic discourse.

Refining Spat‐Collection Practices to Optimise Single‐Seed Spat Production for New Zealand's Greenshell (Perna canaliculus) Mussel Industry

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mussel aquaculture depends on a consistent spat supply, often sourced from spat‐collection ropes suspended in coastal waters. However, settlement on these ropes can be highly variable due to environmental factors. Therefore, improving spat supply from this source relies on optimising aspects of the process, particularly the timing of ...

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.
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 ...

Emerging Contaminants in Raw and Cooked Marine Mussels: The QuEChERS Approach Combined With High‐Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled With Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 61, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mussel aquaculture has experienced substantial growth in recent decades, with global production exceeding 2.17 megatons (live weight), more than doubling since the early 21st century. Representing nearly 94% of the total mussel production, aquaculture plays a crucial economic and ecological role.

Assessment of the Incidence of Vibrio spp. in Shrimp Farms Relative to Water Parameters and Their Molecular Detection in the Southwest Coastal Region of Bangladesh

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
There was no significant relation between the incidence of Vibrio spp. and water parameters, except ammonium in the winter season. In this study, 48.02% (85/177) isolates were positive for Vibrio cholerae, 51.97% (92/177) for Vibrio parahaemolyticus, 15.21% (14/92) for trh gene, and 6.52% (6/92) for tdh gene.

Membrane Lipid Remodeling Strategies Regulate Fluidity for Acute Temperature Adaptation in Oysters

Evolutionary Applications
Extreme climatic temperature stress induced by global warming poses a severe threat to the survival of marine invertebrates. The plasma membrane functions as a natural barrier and serves as the first responder to ambient temperature through dynamic ...

Protein Involved in Initiation 1 Interaction With Starch Synthase 4 From Arabidopsis thaliana Induces Inhibition of Elongating Activity

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 973-986, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Starch is the major energy storage compound in plants. It accumulates in the form of insoluble, partly crystalline granules whose number and shape are specific to each plant species. These characteristics are defined very early in starch biosynthesis, at the initiation stage.

Reliable Inference of Phylogenomic Relationship via Assembly‐Based Strategy Accommodating Raw Reads and Proteins

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Phylogenomics is a transformative approach in systematics, conservation biology, and biomedical research, enabling the inference of evolutionary relationships by leveraging hundreds to thousands of genes from genomic or transcriptomic data. However, acquiring high‐quality genomes and transcriptomes necessitates samples with intact DNA and RNA,

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 826-847, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...
