Interspecific Differences in the Effects on Embryos Between Freshwater and Marine Fish Exposed to Water‐Accommodated Fractions Derived From Very‐Low Sulfur Fuel Oil

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the toxic effects of water‐accommodated fractions (WAFs) of very‐low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) on freshwater and marine fish embryos. Embryos of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), Java medaka (Oryzias javanicus), and grass puffer (Takifugu alboplumbeus) were exposed to various concentrations of VLSFO‐WAF, and the effects on ...

Juvenile and Pubertal Exposure to Polystyrene Nanoplastics Impairs Epididymal Structure and Sperm Quality in Mice

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging environmental contaminants capable of crossing biological barriers, accumulating in tissues, and disrupting physiological pathways. The male reproductive system is particularly vulnerable during the postnatal period, a developmental window characterized by intense testicular differentiation and epididymal ...

Testicular Echobiometry and Sperm Characterization in Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) From the Caatinga Biome

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
We describe testicular echobiometry and sperm characterization in oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) from the Caatinga biome, Ceará, Brazil. ABSTRACT Among neotropical small felids, the Leopardus tigrinus is classified as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but studies on reproductive morphology and physiology are scarce for ...
