The world grapples with the devastating loss of biodiversity, imperiling not only treasured species but also crucial genetic variation essential to food production, health, and safety. Conventional monitoring techniques struggle to detect rare species or juvenile life stages, necessitating innovative approaches. Environmental DNA (eDNA) enables non-invasive, cost-efficient biodiversity monitoring. Extracted from ancient and pr...

Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emergent global threat with widespread implications for ecological integrity, food security, and public health. These particles, typically smaller than 5 mm, originate from diverse sources, including the breakdown of larger plastic debris and direct emissions from products and industrial processes. This review critically examines the current understanding of MP sources, environmental distribut...

Introduction The presence and effect of triclosan (TCS), a non-antibiotic antimicrobial biocide mostly used in personal, household, and healthcare products, on aquatic life is alarming nowadays. Although several studies have addressed TCS toxicity in aquatic organisms, its effects on brain tissues remain poorly explored. Methods In our study, label-free proteomics liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) was...
