CuO NPs are widely used in various industrial and commercial applications. However, little is known about their potential toxicity or fate the environment. In this study effects of copper nanoparticles were investigated gills mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, comparative to Cu2+. Mussels exposed 10 μgCu·L–1 Cu2+ for 15 days, biomarkers oxidative stress, metal exposure neurotoxicity evaluated. Results show that accumulated responded differently Cu2+, suggesting distinct modes action. induced...
Ocean Sampling Day was initiated by the EU-funded Micro B3 (Marine Microbial Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology) project to obtain a snapshot of marine microbial biodiversity and function world's oceans. It is simultaneous global mega-sequencing campaign aiming generate largest standardized data set in single day. This will be achievable only through coordinated efforts an Consortium, supportive partnerships networks between sites. commentary outlines establishment, aims Consortium...
Open access to sequence data is a cornerstone of biology and biodiversity research, but has created tension under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Policy decisions could compromise research development, unless practical multilateral solution implemented. Ensuring international benefit-sharing from without jeopardising open sharing major obstacle for other UN negotiations. Here, authors propose address concerns both developing countries life scientists.
Abstract Human‐mediated transport creates secondary contacts between genetically differentiated lineages, bringing new opportunities for gene exchange. When similar introductions occur in different places, they provide informally replicated experiments studying hybridisation. We here examined 4,279 Mytilus mussels, sampled Europe and genotyped with 77 ancestry‐informative markers. identified a type of introduced called “dock mussels,” associated port habitats displaying particular genetic...
Marine hard-bottom communities are undergoing severe change under the influence of multiple drivers, notably climate change, extraction natural resources, pollution and eutrophication, habitat degradation, invasive species. Monitoring marine biodiversity in such habitats is, however, challenging as it typically involves expensive, non-standardized, often destructive sampling methods that limit its scalability. Differences monitoring approaches furthermore hinders inter-comparison among...
In anuran ovaries, 5S rDNA is regulated transcriptionally by transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA), which upon transcription, binds rRNA, forming 7S RNP. rRNA can be stockpiled also in the form of 42S RNP bound to 42sp43. The aim present study was assess differential transcriptional regulation and associated proteins thicklip gray mullet (Chelon labrosus) gonads. Up 75% total RNA from ovaries rRNA. qPCR quantification expression, gonads histologically sexed individuals different geographical...
The European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network (EMO BON) is an initiative of the Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC) to establish a persistent genomic observatory among designated coastal marine sites, sharing same protocols for sampling and data curation. Environmental samples are collected from water column, at some soft sediments hard substrates (Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures - ARMS), together with set mandatory discretionary metadata (including Essential Ocean...
Molecular methods such as DNA/eDNA metabarcoding have emerged useful tools to document the biodiversity of complex communities over large spatio-temporal scales. We established an international Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS-MBON) combining standardised sampling using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) with for genetic marine hard-bottom benthic communities. Here, we present data our first campaign comprising 56 ARMS units deployed in 2018-2019 and retrieved...
Continuing the international efforts of ARMS Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS-MBON), we present data from second sampling campaign, coming 56 Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) deployed in 2020 and 2021 along European coasts under Omics (EMO BON). The set includes information on locations conditions, sample archiving, quality reports collected samples. Data metadata are openly accessible can be downloaded associated GitHub repository. Sequence accessed via Nucleotide...

Abstract Background The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) formally recognized the sovereign rights of nations over their biological diversity. Implicit within treaty is idea that mega-biodiverse countries will provide genetic resources and grant access to them scientists in high-income use these share back benefits. However, little research has been conducted how this framework reflected real-life scientific practice. Result Currently, parties CBD are debating whether...
