Ethnobotanical survey of plants locally used in the control of termite pests among rural communities in northern Uganda by Betty C. Okori, Christine Oryema, Robert Opiro, Acur Amos, Gilbert I. Obici, Karlmax Rutaro, Geoffrey M. Malinga, Eric Sande

“…However, screening is urgently needed to validate their bioactivity and to determine the bioactive constituents responsible for killing the invertebrates in pest management. Furthermore, simple methods for local propagation and cultivation are needed to ensure a sustainable supply of termicidal plant biomass.…”

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. …”

Transcriptomic responses of sponge holobionts to in situ, seasonal anoxia and hypoxia by Strehlow, Brian W., Schuster, Astrid, Francis, Warren R., Eckford-Soper, Lisa, Kraft, Beate, McAllen, Rob, Nielsen, Ronni, Mandrup, Susanne, Canfield, Donald E.

“…A meta-analysis demonstrated that sponge transcriptional responses to anoxia were distinct from those displayed by other invertebrates while dormant, and the hypothesis of sponge dormancy under anoxia was not supported. …”

Insights from the single-cell level: lineage trajectory and somatic-germline interactions during spermatogenesis in dwarf surfclam Mulinia lateralis by Yajuan Li, Huilan Wei, Xiaoting Dai, Lijing Zhang, Liangjie Liu, Xiaomei Chen, Tian Liu, Ya Shu, Yaxin Yang, Shi Wang, Zhenmin Bao, Lingling Zhang

“…However, a substantial gap remains in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms and key driver genes that underpin this process, particularly in invertebrates. The dwarf surfclam (Mulinia lateralis) is considered an optimal bivalve model due to its relatively short generation time and ease of breeding in laboratory settings. …”

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). …”

Hemolymph microbiota and immune effectors’ expressions driven by geographical rearing acclimation of the aquacultured Penaeus stylirostris by Valérie Perez, Viviane Boulo, Julien De Lorgeril, Dominique Pham, Dominique Ansquer, Gwenola Plougoulen, Valentine Ballan, Jean-Sébastien Lam, Océane Romatif, Jeremy Le Luyer, Corinne Falchetto, Caline Basset, Stanley Flohr, Moana Maamaatuaiahutapu, Marc André Lafille, Christophe Lau, Denis Saulnier, Nelly Wabete, Nolwenn Callac

“…While the gut microbiota is highly studied, in marine invertebrates the hemolymph microbiota is often set aside even if it remains an important actor of the hemolymph homeostasis. …”

White, Chris Harrod, Chris Harrod, Chris Harrod, Morten E. Allentoft, Morten E. Allentoft

“…Saline and hypersaline wetlands are biodiversity hotspots for metazoans such as aquatic invertebrates and wading birds. However, the survival of these habitats and their biota is increasingly threatened by a combination of pressures from climate change and extractive processes. …”

Roy, Karl‐Manfred Schweinzer, Kristijn Swinnen, Elena Tricarico, Joana R. Vicente, Maarten de Groot, Michael J. O. Pocock

“…Compared with official records, vertebrates were more likely to have earlier records on citizen science platforms, than plants or invertebrates. Greater popularity of the IAS in citizen science platforms and its observation in neighbouring countries resulted in earlier citizen science reporting. …”

The association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor 3 with susceptibility/resistance of Magallana gigas to Halomonas sp. 7T by Hongmei Fan, Qingyu Peng, Tianbao Liu, Lei Fang, Chuanyan Yang, Ning Kong, Lingling Wang, Linsheng Song

“…MgTNF-3 was constituted of a typical TNF domain and a transmembrane region, and shared low sequence identity and similarity with the TNF superfamily members from vertebrates and other invertebrates. The MgTNF-3 mRNA was constitutively expressed in haemocytes and all the examined tissues with the highest expression level in adductor muscle, and was significantly induced by lipopolysaccharide stimulation. …”

“…Differences observed in sympatric species were due to a higher incidence of vertebrates and plants in the diet of T. gigas, while differences between the allopatric populations of T. raziana were due to a higher incidence of plants and a lower incidence of invertebrates in the population of Santa Luzia, compared to Raso. …”

IgE-based analysis of sensitization and cross-reactivity to yellow mealworm and edible insect allergens before their widespread dietary introduction by Majsiak Emilia, Choina Magdalena, Gromek Weronika, Wykrota Julia, Kozłowska Danuta, Swadźba Jakub, Cukrowska Bożena, Kowal Krzysztof

“…Based on the serum asIgE levels to TM prior to this ingredient being introduced as a food in Poland, we hypothesised that this primary sensitization may be associated with invertebrate allergies. Our analysis showed that sensitisation to TM was most commonly associated with a positive reaction to house dust mites and shrimp tropomyosins. …”
