Milkfish, an important aquaculture species in Asian countries, are traditionally cultured in outdoor-based systems. There, they experience potentially stressful fluctuations in environmental conditions, such as temperature, eliciting changes in fish physiology. While th...

Highlights • Acute aquatic toxicity of the arsenic-based chemical warfare agents (CWA) was investigated. • Results from standard OECD D. magna tests serve as a new risk categorization tool. • Sea-dumped PDCA, Lewisite, Clark I and Adamsite remain very toxic in water. Se...

This study evaluated the effects of γ-irradiated horseshoe crab chitosan coating on extending the shelf-life of selected high commercial value seafood. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopes (FE-SEM), X-ray diffracti...

Drosophila melanogaster recently spread from its tropical origin in Africa and became a cosmopolitan species that has adapted to a wide range of different thermal environments, including temperate climates. An important limiting factor of temperate climates has probably...

International audience; Cells are arranged into species-specific patterns during early embryogenesis. Such cell division patterns are important since they often reflect the distribution of localized cortical factors from eggs/fertilized eggs to specific cells as well as...

The transmembrane protein 33 (TMEM33) was originally identified as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein that influences the tubular structure of the ER and modulates intracellular calcium homeostasis. However, the role of TMEM33 in antiviral immunity in vertebrates has...

distribution. However, recent genetic comparisons have pointed to another scenario. The latest morphological study has confined F. grisea to the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia, from which it was originally described, and resurrected F. antarctica as a congeneric ...

LRP was supported by a contract associated to the project NICHEAPPS (CGL2014-56416-P) granted to PA. JB is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) through the Central England NERC Training Alliance (CENTA) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) (RRBN19276...

Aim: Current species distributions are shaped by present and past biotic and abiotic factors. Here, we assessed whether abiotic factors (habitat availability) in combination with past connectivity and a biotic factor (body mass) can explain the unique distribution patte...

Cylindrospermopsis (Raphidiopsis) raciborskiiis an invasive, filamentous, nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacterium that forms frequent blooms in freshwater habitats. While viruses play key roles in regulating the abundance, production and diversity of their hosts in aquatic ecosy...
