Abstract The four-track walking mining vehicle can better cope with the complex terrain of cobalt-rich crusts on the seabed. To explore the influence of different parameters on the obstacle-crossing ability of mining veh...

Marine communities are changing at an accelerated rate because of anthropogenic stressors such as global warming and overfishing. Community compositional change over time (temporal β diversity) is mainly driven by the r...

ABSTRACT An eco-friendly method of extraction for chitin and chitosan extracted from crawfish was our goal. Chitin is always present with proteins, minerals, and other components. This study used an eco-accommodating, no...

ABSTRACT While lichens are vital for ecosystem processes and serve as useful bioindicators, lichen diversity remains understudied, particularly in southern Ecuador. Here, we report the first inventory of corticolous (on ...

ABSTRACT Growing global concern surrounds microplastics, found in various environments. However, data on microplastics contamination in salted shrimp and associated health risks remain scarce. We analyzed whether salted ...

Abstract The reservoirs in the western South China Sea oilfield are characterized by low permeability, poor pore connectivity, high laminated content, severe pollution, and prominent interlayer contradictions. For this r...

This investigation focused on the compilation and analysis of the incidence of foodborne diseases and foodborne outbreaks related to protein-based foods, published in official surveillance reports from the European Union...

ABSTRACT The River Continuum Concept (RCC) proposes links between functional groups within assemblages with habitat and ecological characteristics of different river sizes. This theory is supported by extensive evidence ...

ABSTRACT Pyrethroids are ectoparasiticides safe for mammals and widely used in farm animals. An outbreak of systemic intoxication with irritant contact dermatitis resulting from the use of cypermethrin pour on in dairy c...

Abstract Here we present a multi-marker DNA barcoding library for Hong Kong marine fishes (Teleostei), cephalopods (Mollusca), and crustaceans (Arthropoda) frequently captured by purse seine fisheries. In total, 605 spec...

There is a series of symmetric deep-seated cracks (DSC) in the abutment slope of Yebatan Hydropower Station. The special geological phenomenon is analyzed to provide a scientific basis for a comprehensive analysis on roc...

The differentiation of the male reproductive system, the copulatory structures, "red patch" and onset of sexual maturity were studied in Cherax quadricarinatus. For this characterization 353 males were observed, dissecte...

ABSTRACT This study investigated the diversity of metazoan parasites in Colossoma macropomum from the Jari River, in the eastern Amazon, northern Brazil. We collected a total of 4966 parasites from 34 fishes, including m...

Abstract Epistyliasis has been characterized as an emergent disease which has a great impact on fish farms, especially on Oreochromis niloticus production systems. Although epidemiological important, information about th...

For the first time, the eastern flank at Cordón Santa Elena, within the Valle Hermoso district, has been mapped and described in detail. Based on key field observations, petrographic, geochemical and geochronological re...

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine effects of aging methods (wet-aged, dry-aged, and packaged dry-aged) during 60 d on quality traits and microbial characteristics of beef. Wet-aged beef was packed by ...

The widespread application of chlorantraniliprole (CAP) in rice-crayfish co-culture systems poses a potential threat to the health of the non-target crustacean Procambarus clarkii. However, the sub-chronic effects of env...

Introduction. The most commonly diagnosed cancer group in humans is cancers of the skin. One pre‑invasive form of squamous cell carcinoma is Bowen's disease. It manifests in the form of single or multiple lesions, whi...

ABSTRACT Lontra longicaudis is a semi-aquatic predator which mainly feeds on fish and crustaceans, but which can opportunistically predate mammals, birds, and reptiles. In the Amazon, this species is sympatric with Paleo...

his study focused on the geochemical and isotopic features of thermal fluids discharged from five zones located in the high altitude Puna plateau (Jujuy Province between S 22°20′–23°20′ and W 66°–67°), i.e. G...

The pattern of somatic growth reflects the variable allocation of energy and materials throughout ontogeny, with direct impact on an individual’s fitness, and is therefore expected to be adaptive with regard to the dif...

The article describes the feeding habits of the catfish Sciades herzbergii caught in the Crabs Island (Ilha dos Caranguejos), an important coastal area of the Maranhão state, Brazil. A total of 167 individuals were coll...

In lake food webs, pelagic basal organisms such as bacteria and phytoplankton incorporate mercury (Hg2+) from the dissolved phase and pass the adsorbed and internalized Hg to higher trophic levels. This experimental inve...

The decomposition of Erythrina crista-galli L. (Leguminosa) leaf litter and its colonization by invertebrates were studied in a secondary channel of the Middle Paran´a River. This species is native to and very abundant ...
