Environmental governance in the face of collapse: The case of Acapulco, Mexico, between tourist splendour and ecological risk

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Underwater clean‐up efforts in Acapulco Bay reveal the visible consequences of chronic coastal pollution. This study shows how Environmental Risk Assessments (ERAs) can integrate scientific evidence, regulatory frameworks and practitioner experience to identify pollution sources and guide more effective coastal governance in cities of the Global South.

Ferroptotic neurodegeneration and diet: a narrative review

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2026.
Dietary regimes and separate components have been reported to reduce ferroptosis by (1) altering iron metabolism, (2) increasing antioxidant defense, and (3) reducing lipid peroxidation. This ultimately leads to reduced ferroptosis and neurodegeneration.

Removal of paralytic shellfish toxins by probiotic lactic acid bacteria. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel), 2014
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are non-protein neurotoxins produced by saltwater dinoflagellates and freshwater cyanobacteria. The ability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains GG and LC-705 (in viable and non-viable forms) to remove PSTs (saxitoxin (STX), neosaxitoxin (neoSTX), gonyautoxins 2 and 3 (GTX2/3), C-toxins 1 and 2 (C1/2)) from neutral and ...

Comparative paralytic shellfish toxin accumulation in three important Aotearoa New Zealand marine invertebrate species: kina (Evechinus chloroticus), pāua (Haliotis iris) and hohehohe (Panopea zelandica)

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1252-1264, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the potential for paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) accumulation in three of Aotearoa New Zealand's (NZ) taonga seafood species: kina (urchin; Evechinus chloroticus), pāua (abalone; Haliotis iris) and hohehohe (geoduck; Panopea zelandica) in laboratory exposures to the dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum.

Nutrient‐driven regulation of saxitoxin gene expression and toxin production in Raphidiopsis raciborskii (Cyanobacteria)

Journal of Phycology, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1738-1752, December 2025.
Abstract Raphidiopsis raciborskii is a diazotrophic cyanobacterium, globally distributed in aquatic environments and known for forming toxic blooms, thereby affecting ecosystem services. South American strains are producers of saxitoxins, potent neurotoxins harmful to humans and animals.
