The sea urchin embryo: A model to study Alzheimer’s beta amyloid induced toxicity [PDF]
, 2009 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. The cause of AD is closely related to the accumulation of amyloid beta peptide in the neuritic plaques.

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Recent studies have suggested that plant‐based proteins, such as algal powder, can partially replace fishmeal used in formulated aqua feeds while maintaining the growth performance of aquaculture species. In Taiwan, the traditional pickled cabbage industry produces high‐salinity wastewater rich in nutrients and microelements essential for plant growth.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.ABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.

Sedimentology and geomorphology of tufa barrages on rock coast shore platforms
Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 2173-2200, December 2025.ABSTRACT Despite tufa deposits being widely distributed and increasingly recognised globally on rock coasts, their distribution in the tidal frame and geomorphology is poorly understood. The distribution, sedimentology and geomorphology of tufa barrages on supratidal rock coasts are assessed and their controls established.

Grazing halos reveal differential ecosystem vulnerabilities in vegetated habitats
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract The dynamic balance between primary production and herbivory is key to the resilience of plant‐dominated ecosystems across the world. However, many vegetated ecosystems are becoming increasingly susceptible to herbivore‐triggered collapses, as this balance is disrupted due to predator declines, increasing nutrients, and other interacting ...

Autophagy as a defense strategy against stress: focus on Paracentrotus lividus sea urchin embryos exposed to cadmium [PDF]
, 2015 Autophagy is used by organisms as a defense strategy to face environmental stress. This mechanism has been described as one of the most important intracellular pathways responsible for the degradation and recycling of proteins and organelles.
