Collection, handling and care of cephalopod eggsNARA Subscribed
Research on cephalopod early ontogeny has significantly advanced in recent decades, including embryo organogenesis and neurogenesis and early behavioural adaptations, particularly in commercially important and coastal species. Within this context, here we compiled current knowledge on the collection, handling and care under experimental conditions and monitoring in the field of cephalopod eggs and egg masses. It covers field o...
Adaptive Variation Amid High Gene Flow Across a Broad Latitudinal Gradient in the Reef‐Building Honeycomb Worm, Sabellaria alveolataNARA Subscribed
Climate change is already altering, and will continue to reshape, the persistence and spatial structure of marine populations. Understanding metapopulation connectivity and local adaptation is therefore critical for identifying both vulnerable populations and those with adaptive resilience. We applied a seascape genomics approach to investigate connectivity patterns and adaptive responses in the honeycomb worm, Sabellaria alve...
Conventional bivalve depuration protocols may compromise organoleptic and nutritional quality, largely as a consequence of fasting. This study investigates an innovative post-depuration feeding strategy in the clam Ruditapes decussatus using microencapsulated diets containing Nannochloropsis sp. supplemented with either a standard dose of vitamins C and E (MV) or a high dose—4× the standard level—of these vitamins (MV+). A thr...
Habitat explains intraspecific leaf morphological and physiological variation in the facultative epiphyte Nephrolepis cordifoliaNARA Subscribed
Epiphytic and terrestrial habitats differ markedly in water, nutrient, and light availability and variability, yet few facultative epiphytes successfully grow in both habitats. As a facultative epiphyte, Nephrolepis cordifolia provides a valuable opportunity to investigate how individuals of the same species adjust morphological and physiological traits along contrasting microhabitats. We measured frond structure, physiology,...
Feeding duration of a Dunaliella salina finishing diet influences carotenoid deposition, color and consumer appeal in sea urchin gonadsNARA Subscribed
Dunaliella salina is one of several carotenoid sources that have been considered to enhance gonad coloration in sea urchins, although its relatively high cost may limit routine use in commercial echinoculture. Identifying the minimum feeding duration required to achieve optimal results may offer a cost-effective strategy. This study evaluated a cold-extruded diet supplemented with 1.5% D. salina (DUN) as a finishing diet for P...
A machine learning framework for California vineyard water status monitoring using sUAS Imagery and short-term meteorological dataNARA Subscribed
Efficient irrigation management is essential for sustainable crop production under increasing temperatures and tightening water supplies. In vineyards, water status significantly influences vine growth, yield, and fruit quality, and deficit irrigation is often used to impose controlled stress while avoiding damaging levels of water limitation. This creates a practical need for routine, field-scale monitoring of vine water stat...
Physical and chemical characterisation of ophthalmic lens-grinding wastewater: uncovering environmental implicationsNARA Subscribed
The ophthalmic industry’s eyewear lens production generates substantial waste during the lens grinding processes, contributing to significant environmental challenges. This process consumes approximately 20 L of water per eyeglass lens pair, which is subsequently discharged directly into wastewater systems, releasing a complex mixture of pollutants, including micro- and nanoplastics, into the environment. This study investigat...
Micro‐Refuges or Ecological Traps: Context‐Dependent Effects of Rock Pools on Intertidal Biodiversity Across LatitudesNARA Subscribed
Aim We investigated how local‐scale environmental heterogeneity influences biodiversity patterns across broad biogeographic gradients, using intertidal microhabitats as a model system within one of the most environmentally stressful ecosystems on Earth. Location Intertidal habitats at 26 locations (two rocky shore sites per location) across six continents, spanning 98° of latitude (38°S to 60°N). Time Period 2019–2022. Major T...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Controlled release of chemotherapeutic drugs is a key factor in cancer therapy. In this regard, temperature triggered release of drugs offers a precise control over the release within the tumour region, thus avoiding premature drug release and unspecific toxicity. In this work a novel polymeric N-isopropylacrylamide-based nanocarrier was developed to carry and release doxorubicin in response to the natural higher temperature o...
