Sea cucumbers as bioindicators of pollution and sea cucumber microbiomes as markers of environmental stress: A review

Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering
The gut microbiota of sea cucumbers has been revealed to be a sensitive indicator of both the physiological state and environmental conditions affecting these echinoderms. Thus, they offer promising potential as a biomonitoring tool for assessing environmental stress.

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 ...

Water depth and human disturbance drive occupancy of endangered softshell turtles (Nilssonia spp.) in eastern Nepal

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Freshwater turtles play vital roles in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by supporting ecological balance, nutrient cycling and regulating prey populations. Unfortunately, they are among the most threatened species worldwide. Habitat fragmentation, illegal trade, overharvesting for meat, and use in ethnomedicinal practices have severely ...

Impact of Starfish Predatory Pressure on the Immune and Antioxidant Functions of Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Fishes
This study simulated the effects of direct predatory pressure, indirect predatory pressure, and conspecific injury signals on sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) to determine changes in the activity of immune defense enzymes (lysozyme, acid phosphatase,

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 ...

An update of a systematic review and meta‐analyses exploring flavours in intervention studies of e‐cigarettes for smoking cessation

Addiction, Volume 120, Issue 4, Page 770-778, April 2025.
Abstract Aims To determine patterns of e‐cigarette flavour use (sweet, tobacco, menthol/mint) in interventional studies of e‐cigarettes for stopping smoking, and to estimate associations between flavours and smoking/vaping outcomes. Methods Update of secondary data analyses, including meta‐analyses subgrouped by flavour provision and narrative ...

The dynamic changes of flavor characteristics of sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) during puffing revealed by GC–MS combined with HS-GC-IMS

Food Chemistry: X
To improve the ease of eating sea cucumbers, we investigated the impact of puffing temperature (190 °C - 250 °C) and time (1–5 min) on their quality and flavor. As temperature and time increased, sea cucumber puffing significantly enhanced.
