Summary: Cadmium pollution has detrimental effects on the reproductive function of the wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata. It impairs the antioxidant enzyme system, decreases vitellogenin content, and reduces the number of hatched spiderlings. The transcriptome and proteome analysis revealed down-regulation of genes and proteins involved in protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of spiders' response to Cd pollution.

Summary: Soil application of phosphate fertilizer has negative effects on the growth and reproduction of Pardosa pseudoannulata spiders, leading to reduced efficiency in pest control. Phosphate fertilizer treatment prolongs longevity and increases mortality in subadults, and negatively affects the reproduction of adult spiders, resulting in lower mating rate, fewer eggsacs and eggs per female, and fewer offspring in the first eggsac. Transcriptomic sequencing analysis reveals changes in gene expression related to stress resistance and protein processing in phosphate fertilizer-treated spiders.

Summary: This study found that the wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata, fed with Nilaparvata lugens enriched with Cry1Ab protein, suffered no significant toxicity in terms of body mass, carapace width, and survival rate, except for a prolonged developmental duration. The activities of detoxifying enzymes and neuron sensitivity in spiders were not affected, but down-regulated cuticle encoding genes were observed. Additionally, venom gland transcriptome analysis revealed an up-regulation of toxin encoding genes under Cry1Ab protein stress. Behavioral experiments showed that both Cry1Ab and Cry1Ab-free spiders followed the Holling type II functional response model.

Summary: This study explored the impact of chronic cadmium exposure on a wolf spider and its molecular mechanism. The findings revealed that the spider fed with cadmium-accumulated flies showed reduced enzyme activity and increased malondialdehyde content. Transcriptomic analysis identified differentially expressed genes and down-regulated genes encoding enzymatic indicators. The study also suggested that cadmium stress inhibited the expression of certain genes involved in cuticle and chitin production, and affected hedgehog and FoxO signaling pathways. The interactive network showed that cadmium exposure repressed key biological processes in the spider.

Summary: Cadmium pollution poses a serious threat to agricultural production and paddy field fauna. This study explores the effects of combined stress of Cd and Cry1Ab protein on a field indicator species, spiders. The findings reveal that Cd accumulation is significantly higher in spiders fed with Cd-containing flies and Cry1Ab protein, and the protective mechanism is activated. Transcriptome analysis suggests the involvement of ion metal binding proteins, transporters, and channels in the Cd accumulation process. Additionally, the combined stress prolongs the developmental duration of spiders and down-regulates the genes involved in the molting process. These findings provide a research basis for the cultivation of transgenic Cry1Ab crops in heavy metal contaminated soil.

Summary: In this study, a human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was developed to assess its toxicity. The model considers the distribution and metabolism of DEP and its active metabolite monoethyl phthalate (MEP) in different tissue compartments. Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations were performed to evaluate the uncertainty and variability of the model parameters. The results suggest that dermal absorption is an important route of exposure to DEP in the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.

It was found that increasing the application of thiencarbazone-methyl center dot isoxaflutole resulted in increased stress on soil bacterial community structure and diversity. Increasing soil pH was recognized as a key factor in improving the diversity and structure of soil microflora. Supplemental use of nitrapyrin or modified attapulgite can increase soil pH and improve bacterial diversity.
