Synthetic Peptides Suppress Nervous Necrosis Virus Absorption and Improve Survival Rates in European Sea BassNARA Subscribed
With few preventive strategies available against nodavirus (NNV) in aquaculture, therapeutic applications remain underexplored. This study aimed to peptide-based treatments disrupting critical stages of its viral life cycle. Thus, we designed and synthesized seven low-molecular-weight peptides (P1–P7) based on predicted binding regions of the capsid protein from the red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) genotype t...
Plastic pollution and changes in oceanic pH are both pressing environmental issues. Little emphasis, however, has been placed on the influence of sex and gametogenesis stage when investigating the effects of such stressors. Here, we examined histology and molecular biomarkers of blue mussels Mytilus edulis exposed for 7 days to a pH 7.7 scenario (− 0.4 units) in combination with environmentally relevant concentrations (0, 0.5...
ERA5 represents the state of the art for atmospheric reanalyses and is widely used in meteorological and climatological research. In this work, this dataset is evaluated using the wind kinetic energy spectrum. Seasonal climatologies are generated for 30° latitudinal bands in the Northern Hemisphere (periodic domain) and over the North Atlantic area (limited-area domain). The spectra are also assessed to determine the effective...
Behavioural Stress Propagation in Benthic Invertebrates Caused by Acute pH Drop-Induced MetabolitesOA Marine
Studies on pH stress in marine animals typically focus on direct or species-specific aspects. We here test the hypothesis that a drop to pH = 7.6 indirectly affects the intra- and interspecific interactions of benthic invertebrates by means of chemical communication. We recorded fitness-relevant behaviours of small hermit crabs Diogenes pugilator , green shore crabs Carcinus maenas , and harbour ragworms Hediste diversicolor i...
Host preferences of coexisting Perkinsea parasitoids during coastal dinoflagellate bloomsNARA Subscribed
Parasites in aquatic systems are highly diverse and ubiquitous. In marine environments, parasite‐host interactions contribute substantially to shaping microbial communities, but their nature and complexity remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined the relationship between Perkinsea parasitoids and bloom‐forming dinoflagellate species. Our aim was to determine whether parasite‐host species interactions are specific a...
Entangled fates of holobiont genomes during invasion: nested bacterial and host diversities in Caulerpa taxifoliaNARA Subscribed
Successful prevention and mitigation of biological invasions requires retracing the initial steps of introduction, as well as understanding key elements enhancing the adaptability of invasive species. We studied the genetic diversity of the green alga Caulerpa taxifolia and its associated bacterial communities in several areas around the world. The striking congruence of α and β diversity of the algal genome and endophytic com...
