Nanotechnology‐Based Immunostimulants in Aquaculture: Mechanisms, Advances and Practical Applications

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Nano‐immunostimulants improve fish health through targeted and controlled delivery of immunostimulatory compounds. Biodegradable polymeric and lipid‐based nanocarriers enhance immune responses, bioavailability and disease resistance while reducing antibiotic dependence and environmental impact.

Effects of Teucrium polium L. (Lamiaceae) essential oil and α-pinene on the detoxifying- and intermediary engaged enzymes of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, 1879 (Lep.: Pyralidae)

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Slovenica, 2019
This study investigated the effect of Teucrium polium L. essential oil (Tp EO) and α-pinene as its major component on the detoxifying- and intermediary-engaged enzymes of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller. Fourth instar larvae were separately fed on the treated

Elevated UV‐B alters anti‐herbivore plant defence allocation, while silicon supplementation maintains resistance

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2982-3000, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The impacts of elevated surface ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B) on ecological processes, such as anti‐herbivore defence in plants, remain poorly understood. Many cereal crops depend on accumulating silicon (Si) in their tissues to resist insect herbivory.

The Phenoloxidase Activity in Prawn Hemocytes.

open access: yesFish Pathology, 1992
1. クルマエビ血液中のフェノールオキシダーゼ (PO) 活性の分布を調べるために, 血漿成分と血球成分のPO活性を測定した。その結果, 血漿ならびに血球成分ともにPO活性が認められたが, とりわけ血球中の活性が高かった。2. クルマエビ血球成分中のPO活性の酵素化学的性状について検討した結果, PO活性の反応至適温度は40℃であり, 熱処理または0.5M以上の条件下において著しい活性の低下がみられた。また, 活性はEDTAにより阻害されたが, EGTAによる阻害性は低く, Caイオン依存性ではなかった。3. PO活性はPMSFやDEDTによって阻害されたことから, 活性の反応系にはセリンプロテアーゼや銅酵素の関与が示唆された。

Different Scales, Different Rules: How Do Temperature and Radiation Across Macro‐ and Microclimate Shape Forest Insect Traits?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We show that temperature and solar radiation shape insect community traits in scale‐dependent ways across German forests. Whereas macroclimatic temperature predicts consistent shifts in body size and colouration, microclimatic variation driven by canopy structure can override these broad patterns, producing contrasting trait filtering among taxa ...

Sublethal Clothianidin Exposure Increases Trait Variation and Drives Sex‐Specific Selection in the Water Strider Gerris latiabdominis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We highlight the importance of considering insecticide effects on trait variance and selection—not merely trait means—to fully understand evolutionary changes in non‐target populations. We suggest incorporating sublethal effects on semi‐aquatic predatory insects into ecological risk assessments on agroecosystems. ABSTRACT Agricultural insecticides pose

Soluble peroxidase from winter wheat seedlings with phenoloxidase-like activity.

open access: yes, 1990
Peroxidase isozymes from winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Orso) seedlings extracts showed phenoloxidase-like activity, becoming visible on polyacrylamide gels also in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. The results obtained after a characterization

Phenoloxidase activity and haemolymph cytology in honeybees challenged with a virus suspension (deformed wings virus DWV) or phosphate buffered suspension (PBS)

open access: yesCiência Rural, 2019
: The innate immune system of honeybees mainly consists in antimicrobial peptides, cellular immunity and melanisation. In order to investigate the immune response of honeybees to immune stressors, three stress degrees were tested.
