International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 While there is considerable interest in, and good evidence for, the role that parasites play in biological invasions, the potential parallel effects of species introduction on parasite dynamics have clearly received less attention.

Crustaceans Parasitic on Fishes
The American Biology Teacher, 1986 Most commercial and sport fishermen, especially those who frequent marine waters, are well acquainted with parasitic crustaceans scurrying about rapidly over the external surface of fishes. Sportsmen often refer to them as "fish lice" or "sea lice". Students of biology might also want to become familiar with these curious creatures, and would probably ...

Assessment of parasite virulence in a natural population of a planktonic crustacean [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2019 Understanding the impact of disease in natural populations requires an understanding of infection risk and the damage that parasites cause to their hosts (= virulence). However, because these disease traits are often studied and quantified under controlled laboratory conditions and with reference to healthy control hosts, we have little knowledge about

Applications of Biomaterials in Separators for Secondary Batteries
Carbon Energy, EarlyView.In this review, biomaterial‐based separators are reviewed as sustainable alternatives to conventional polyolefin‐based separators. For 12 different natural polymers, spanning from Protista, Plantae, and Animalia, viable strategies for synthesizing biomass‐based separators are described.

Antimicrobial Peptides and Peptidomimetics in Foods – A Synthetic Foray
ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.This Review discusses AMPs in foods and their syntheses. It espouses facile methods to make them accessible and suggests their utility in the mitigation and eradication of the burgeoning maladies of antimicrobial and multidrug resistance (AMR and MDR).

Infection with an acanthocephalan helminth reduces anxiety-like behaviour in crustacean host
Scientific Reports, 2022 Trophically transmitted heteroxenous parasites of diverse clades can decrease or reverse antipredator behaviours in their intermediate hosts, thereby increasing their chances of reaching their final hosts.

Fecampiid flatworms parasitic in a tanaidacean crustacean
Journal of HelminthologyAbstract We report the first record of fecampiidan platyhelminths parasitic in tanaidacean crustaceans. Two fecampiidans (0.75 mm and 1.10 mm in length) were found in a female of Pseudotanais sp. (Pseudotanaidae; 1.75 mm in length) collected at 794 m depth off the southern coast of Japan, northwestern Pacific.

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

Induced metamorphosis in crustacean y-larvae: Towards a solution to a 100-year-old riddle
BMC Biology, 2008 Background The y-larva, a crustacean larval type first identified more than 100 years ago, has been found in marine plankton samples collected in the arctic, temperate and tropical regions of all oceans.
