Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Trace Levels of Triclosan May Affect Root Growth and Morphology in Cultivated Plants

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) is a micropollutant frequently detected in biosolids applied to agricultural soils. In soil solution—where it is potentially bioavailable to roots—it occurs at residual concentrations (ng L−1). Nevertheless, the ecotoxicological implications of TCS exposure in agricultural crops at these concentrations are still not fully ...

Commercial Product Based on Metarhizium Anisopliae Affects Survival, Midgut Morphology, and Behavior in the Stingless Bee Scaptotrigona depilis (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazilian social stingless bees are important pollinators and producers of honey, wax, royal jelly, propolis, and other products. These species are experiencing a population decline, attributed to different factors, such as the excessive use of pesticides.

Plant‐derived nanovesicles as potential drug delivery systems for topical use: Emerging applications in dermatology and cosmetology

VIEW, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are naturally secreted by fruit, vegetables, seeds, leaves and other natural sources. Used as drug delivery systems, they can combine intrinsic therapeutic activity, enhanced skin permeation and cargo‐carrying capacity, suitable for dermatological and cosmetic applications including hydration, antioxidant/anti ...

Fecal Glucocorticoid and Androgen Metabolites in Eastern Gray Kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) Following Environmental Relocation

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Fecal glucocorticoid (GCM) and androgen metabolite (AM) concentrations were monitored for 3 months following the relocation of three eastern gray kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) between zoological facilities. Both metabolites showed high concentrations during the early postrelocation period, followed by a rapid decline and stabilization, suggesting ...

A short history of Auto‐Rickshaw

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
Auto‐Rickshaw is an example of practical, decision‐driven automated macromolecular structure determination from crystallographic diffraction data. This review traces its development at the EMBL Hamburg/DESY beamline environment, where rapid validation of diffraction experiments was essential, through its expansion into a general platform for automated ...

Anesthetizing Sea Cucumbers v1

, 2019
This protocol is for anesthetizing sea cucumbers. After soaking the sea cucumber in the menthol/ethanol/saltwaer solution for 30-60 minutes the sea cucumber should be flacid and relatively unresponsive to poking. No sea cucumber has eviscerated during surgery after being anesthetized although they do contract and appear like they are trying.

Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...

Embracing uncertainty in time: A Bayesian dynamic mixing model for isotopic diet estimation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Isotopic mixing models are powerful tools in ecology for estimating diets. Since their initial formulation, these models have evolved into two distinct branches: Bayesian mixing models and dynamic mixing models. Bayesian mixing models significantly improve uncertainty management but remain static assuming a stable state.
