Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Although the field of plant EVs (PEVs) is experiencing exponential growth, rigorous characterisation complying with MISEV guidelines has not been yet implemented due to the lack of bona fide reference markers. In this work, we have paved the way for the standardisation of PEV markers, providing the most profound proteomic data so far from ...

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 All metazoans are exposed to a wide range of microbes and have evolved complex immune defenses used to repel infectious agents. Coelomocytes play a key role in the defense reactions of most invertebrates. They are involved in important immune functions, such as phagocytosis, encapsulation, graft rejection, and inflammation, as well as the synthesis and

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2025.We test how reproductive interference from inter‐species mating between sympatric Caenorhabditis nematodes can influence species coexistence and exclusion. We demonstrate that females from the species with higher intrinsic population growth experience reduced lifespan and fecundity due to incomplete interspecies mate discrimination that leads to ...

Helminthologia, 2017 In the years 2012-2014, carcasses of 286 birds of prey from the territory of Slovakia were examined for the presence of helminth parasites. The number of bird species in the study was 23; five belonging to the Falconiformes order, eleven to ...

Important Crop Pollinators Respond Less Negatively to Anthropogenic Land Use Than Other Animals
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.With a high proportion of crops requiring animal‐mediated pollination to some extent, understanding how anthropogenic landscapes impact communities and pollination provision is critical for ensuring food security. We find that the species most important for crop pollination are responding less negatively (and sometimes positively) to human disturbance ...

Different invasibility of permanent and temporary waterbodies in a semiarid Mediterranean Island [PDF]
, 2019 Nonindigenous species (NIS) represent a threat to aquatic biodiversity worldwide. However, freshwater ecosystems in drylands are potentially more prone to biological invasions than those located in temperate regions because of the higher number of ...

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 11, November 2024.Abstract The objective of this opinion was to determine if any wild caught fish species, originating from specific fishing grounds and consumed in the EU/EFTA could be considered free of zoonotic parasites. In this Opinion the term ‘fishery products’ only refers to fresh finfish.

A tale of three kingdoms: Members of the Phylum Nematoda independently acquired the detoxifying enzyme cyanase through horizontal gene transfer from plants and bacteria [PDF]
, 2018 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played an important role in the evolution of nematodes. Among candidate genes, cyanase, which is typically found only in plants, bacteria and fungi, is present in more than 35 members of the Phylum Nematoda, but absent ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 3, May–June 2024.Intertidal infaunal community data are obtained via: (1) morphological identification of macroinvertebrates from sediment cores, (2) cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA metabarcoding of the same pooled macroinvertebrate specimens, and (3) 18S ribosomal RNA (18S) DNA metabarcoding of benthic meiofauna from small volume sediment surface scrapes.
