A global analysis of portion size recommendations in food-based dietary guidelines by Fanny Salesse, Fanny Salesse, Alison L. Eldridge, Tsz Ning Mak, Eileen R. Gibney, Eileen R. Gibney

“…Recommendations for Fruits and Vegetables showed the highest consistency across FBDGs worldwide, whereas guidance on Meat, fish & eggs and Cooked cereals/grains showed discrepancies in the classification of foods into categories, as well as in the number of portions per day.DiscussionWhile some variation in PS recommendations across countries can be expected due to cultural and regional dietary practices, inconsistent definitions to refer to a portion and varied derivation methods may further produce discrepancies. …”

The Calicophoron daubneyi genome provides new insight into mechanisms of feeding, eggshell synthesis and parasite-microbe interactions by Shauna M. Clancy, Mark Whitehead, Nicola A. M. Oliver, Kathryn M. Huson, Jake Kyle, Daniel Demartini, Allister Irvine, Fernanda Godoy Santos, Paul-Emile Kajugu, Robert E. B. Hanna, Sharon A. Huws, Russell M. Morphew, J. Herbert Waite, Sam Haldenby, Mark W. Robinson

“…We reveal that C. daubneyi eggshell proteins lack L-DOPA typically required for eggshell crosslinking in trematodes and propose that C. daubneyi employs atypical eggshell crosslinking chemistry that produces eggs with greater stability. Finally, although extracellular digestion of rumen ciliates occurs within the C. daubneyi gut, unique ultrastructural and biochemical adaptations of the gastrodermal cells suggest that adult flukes also acquire nutrients via uptake of volatile fatty acids from rumen fluid. …”
