Summary: The copepod Apocyclops royi can survive and reproduce in freshwater for a period of time, but eventually stops reproducing due to the lack of vital ions. Metabolomics analysis showed significant changes in metabolites, with a large decrease in glycine betaine and a large increase in lactate in copepods challenged by freshwater. This study highlights the challenges and potential benefits of culturing A. royi in freshwater, as well as the possibility of developing a 'universal' live-feed product.

Summary: The Baltic Sea is a marginal ecosystem between marine and freshwater extremes, and the differences in invasion history and dispersal capabilities of Baltic species have resulted in large variations in species distributions, genetic structure, and edge populations. Through a phylogenomic approach, we found that there is little relation between populations of P. elegans and C. volutator, but a higher degree of resemblance among populations of M. arenaria. Each species exhibited unique phylogenetic patterns.

Summary: This study investigates the feeding behavior of the cyclopoid copepod Apocyclops royi and how it senses cells of Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae). The study finds that A. royi still exhibits ambush feeding behavior when feeding on S. cerevisae, and its sensitivity to fluid disturbances is similar to other copepod species. The researchers suggest that A. royi likely senses S. cerevisae cells by randomly touching them with setae on their first antennae, as remote detection of the non-motile yeast cells through hydromechanical signals is unlikely.

Summary: Pseudodiaptomus annandalei and Apocyclops royi, two copepod species, are predominant in a tropical brackish fishpond system and serve as important live feed for larval fish and shrimps. They exhibit remarkable physiological plasticity and the ability to convert poor fatty acid composition into the necessary long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that characterize their tissues. This makes them suitable candidates for mass production and usage as live feed in fish and shrimp hatcheries.

Summary: Conventional identification based on morphology is the preferred tool for monitoring earthworm diversity, but it requires skills that can become a bottleneck in soil ecological studies. DNA-based metabarcoding is increasingly used for monitoring soil organism diversity, but few studies have compared it with conventional methods. This study aimed to compare metabarcoding using the mitochondrial 16S rRNA region with conventional morphology-based identification. Metabarcoding captured more species than the conventional method, and the PowerMax DNA extraction kit had higher richness than PowerSoil.

Summary: Earthworms play an important role in soil ecosystem functioning and are used as indicators of ecosystem health. This study investigates the interactions between earthworms and soil microorganisms by comparing soil with and without earthworms in microcosms. The results show that earthworms increase microbial activity, decrease species richness, and shape soil prokaryotes community structure. Certain bacterial phyla were enriched, while the relative abundance of the archaeal phylum Thaumarchaeota decreased in the presence of earthworms. The study highlights the influence of earthworms on soil microbial communities and their activity, suggesting the need to incorporate earthworm-prokaryote interactions in future soil microbiome studies.

Summary: This study compared the changes in T & O concentrations and the microbial community at different sites along the Brisbane River. It found that 2-MIB concentrations mainly came from the upstream lake, while the source of GSM was more complex, involving both lakes and in-river production. Concentrations of 2-MIB and GSM decreased downstream, with lower concentrations observed in the lower reaches. Cyanobacteria and nonphotosynthetic bacteria were identified as important in controlling the concentrations of these compounds in the river.

Summary: An increasing demand for fish products has led to intensive aquaculture production in Brazil, with Nile tilapia constituting almost half of the aquaculture production. Off-flavor production is a major constraint in intensive fish production. This study determined the levels of taste and odor compounds in Nile tilapia produced in net cages in reservoirs in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The analysis showed the presence of geosmin, 2-MIB, and other volatile organic compounds in the fish flesh, which correlated with sensory analysis. Water quality analysis revealed that geosmin and 2-MIB levels were influenced by nutrient levels in the water.

Summary: Freshwater reservoirs are important sources of drinking water, but the risk of cyanobacteria blooms and toxin production is increasing due to eutrophication and higher temperatures. To improve the prediction of cyanotoxin episodes in the Lobo reservoir, Brazil, the occurrence of potential microcystin and saxitoxin-producing cyanobacteria was studied. The detection of mcyE and sxtA genotypes was found to be a useful predictor of toxin episodes, which can be combined with chemical toxin detection for monitoring cyanotoxins.

Summary: This study compared the transcriptome of quiescent embryos and normal embryonic development in A. tonsa, identifying pathways and differentially regulated transcripts involved in quiescent embryogenesis. The results showed that the expression profile of quiescent embryos was not significantly different from the normal embryonic gastrulation stage, and a large proportion of annotated transcripts displayed expression values between gastrulation and organogenesis stages. Furthermore, comparison with organogenesis stage samples confirmed that a developmental arrest had been induced through quiescence, and stress response transcripts, such as the autophagy gene Sequestosome-1/p62 (SQSTM), were upregulated in quiescence. These findings provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the quiescent embryonic state of A. tonsa.
