Physicochemical Quality and Chemical Safety of Commercial Wet Cat Food: Composition, Oxidation, Biogenic Amines, and Trace Elements. [PDF]

J Anim Physiol Anim Nutr (Berl)
ABSTRACT This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics and chemical safety of commercial wet cat foods marketed in Brazil. Twenty products labeled as beef, chicken and fish flavors were analyzed for proximate composition, pH, lipid and protein oxidation, biogenic amines, and essential and potentially toxic trace elements.

Low pH Does Not Impact Reproductive Success but Leads to Negative Carry-Over Effects Between Parents and Larvae in a Mediterranean Gastropod. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the long‐term effects of ocean acidification on reproduction and early development in the Mediterranean gastropod Hexaplex trunculus. While low pH did not affect spawning or reproductive output, it significantly delayed larval development and reduced the likelihood of reaching hatching, especially when parents were preconditioned to ...

Timing Is Everything: The Effect of Exposure to Pollution on Wildlife Gut Microbiota Is Contingent on Season. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Exposure to environmental pollutants can disrupt the gut microbiota, but how pollutants impact natural, seasonal changes in wildlife gut microbiota remains unknown. We quantified how exposure to radionuclides affected temporal changes in the gut microbiota of bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) inhabiting the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ ...

Lepidoptera research in Puerto Rico: Reconnecting with historical legacies to guide future priorities

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1215-1232, November 2023., 2023
In Puerto Rico, a tropical archipelago in a region characterized by complex socio‐economic and environmental change, ecological knowledge of the local insect fauna is scarce. Greater emphasis on ecological monitoring of model insect groups like Lepidoptera could provide insight into the effects of global change on tropical biodiversity and contribute ...

Perfluorooctanoic acid uptake in the mustard species Brassica juncea

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 199-206, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a surfactant, is a member of the perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) family and is a contaminant of emerging concern for human and environmental health. Perfluorooctanoic acid is a persistent organic pollutant, but currently little is known about (a) the potential ecological and toxicological effects of PFOA and (b) how

The role of trust and risk perception in current German nuclear waste management

Risk Analysis, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 2704-2719, December 2022., 2022
Abstract One of the lessons learned in various countries that have to deal with spent nuclear fuel is that finding a proper place and siting a repository for high‐level nuclear waste (HLW) cannot be achieved without public consent. After decades of obstruction, Germany recently launched a new, participatory, site‐selection process for the disposal of ...

Deposition of Gold Nanoparticles on a Self‐Supporting Carbon Foil

Particle &Particle Systems Characterization, Volume 39, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
The deposition of gold nanoparticles on a self‐supporting carbon foil as a substrate presents several challenges. Different deposition techniques are tested for homogeneity of the nanoparticle distribution, a sufficiently high area density as well as mechanical stability.

XPS Examination of the Chemical Composition of PEGMUA‐Coated Gold Nanoparticles

Particle &Particle Systems Characterization, Volume 39, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Polyethylene glycol (PEG)‐11‐mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA)‐coated gold nanoparticles are characterized using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy regarding their chemical composition. Analysis of the peaks shows that gold is present as gold (0) and gold (I).
