A SH3b domain-containing peptidoglycan recognition protein from Magallana gigas with broad recognition spectrum by Yinan Li, Hongbo Lu, Chuanyan Yang, Zhuyun Liu, Weilin Wang, Chang Liu, Lingling Wang

“…Peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) is a kind of conserved pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and plays important roles in innate immune response in both invertebrates and vertebrates. In the present study, nine MgPGRP genes were identified in the updated genome of Magallana gigas, and the cDNA of MgPGRP5 which was consisted of a SH3b and a PGRP domain was cloned. …”

Introduced substrates trigger colonization by reef-associated fish in a degraded coastal system. by Maryann S Watson, Jon Dickson, Oscar Franken, Laura L Govers, Tjisse van der Heide, Sterre Witte, Britas Klemens Eriksson

“…We experimentally introduced hard substrates that were either historically common in a soft sediment-dominated ecosystem, or are mimicking these substrates with biodegradable material, and monitored the substrates for mobile species use (fish and invertebrates). Six substrates were tested: cockle shells, rocks of two sizes (cobbles and pebbles), wood, artificial reefs of calcium carbonate with shell fragments, and biodegradable structures based on potato starch. …”

Effects of polymethylmethacrylate nanoplastics on the swimming behaviour and gut microbiome of the freshwater amphipod Gammarus pulex by Sareh Yaripour, Mandar Bandekar, Jiri Vihavainen, Kuldeep More, Aslak Eronen, Manuela Faria Durão, Mikhail Daneliya, Tuure Houni, Tia Halonen, Jari T.T. Leskinen, Jaakko Haverinen, Hannu Huuskonen, Ulrika Candolin, Jukka Kekäläinen, Raine Kortet

“…Aquatic animals are increasingly exposed to NPs but their effects on many aquatic invertebrates remain inadequately known. Here, we assessed the effects of 25 nm polymethylmethacrylate NPs on the swimming behaviour and gut microbiome composition of juveniles of an ecologically important detritivore, the Gammarus pulex (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Gammaridae), during a 10-day exposure period at two different concentrations (2 mg/L and 20 mg/L). …”

Beauty Bias? Exploring the Influence of Attractiveness on Conservation Intentions for Plants and Their Pollinators by Pavol Prokop, Simona Todáková, Jana Fančovičová

“…Notably, colourful pollinators such as <i>Selasphorus rufus</i>, <i>Vestiaria coccinea</i>, and <i>Danaus plexippus</i> positively influenced WTP plants, while the remaining five species (predominantly invertebrates) did not exhibit a similar effect. We propose that establishing a connection between visually appealing pollinators and plants can help mitigate PB/PAD. …”

The impact of experimental forest fire on collembolan communities by Izabella Olejniczak, Anna Prędecka, Stefan Russel

“…Contribution of epigeic, hemiedaphic and euedaphic species in collembolan communities of investigated areas could point to different defense strategies of these invertebrates. Immature individuals of Collembola were the most numerous in burnt plots and at the border of burnt plots and this phenomenon is probably crucial for the reconstruction of collembolan communities after the fire.…”
