BACKGROUND: Larval zebrafish phenotypes serve as critical research indicators in fields such as ecotoxicology and safety assessment since phenotypic defects are closely related to alterations of underlying pathway. However, identifying these defects ...
Suboptimal nutrition in organic waste limits the growth of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, thereby reducing biowaste recycling efficiency. In this study, weight gain data from BSF larvae fed diets with distinct nutrient compositions were used to buil...
Microplastics are widely distributed in the environment and pose potential hazards to organisms. However, our understanding of the transgenerational effects of microplastics on terrestrial organisms remains limited. In this study, we focused on the m...
Hundreds of loci have been robustly associated with obesity-related traits, but functional characterization of candidate genes remains a bottleneck. Aiming to systematically characterize candidate genes for a role in accumulation of lipids in adipocy...
Identifying new anti-seizure medications (ASMs) is difficult due to limitations in animal-based assays. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) serve as a model for chemical and genetic seizures, but current methods for detecting anti-seizure responses are limited b...
BACKGROUND: High-throughput behavioral analysis is important for drug discovery, toxicological studies, and the modeling of neurological disorders such as autism and epilepsy. Zebrafish embryos and larvae are ideal for such applications because they ...
This in vitro study aimed to quantify the penetration of hydrogen peroxide (HP), bleaching efficacy (BE) and toxicity in larvae in different bleaching techniques using 6% HP. Sixty maxillary premolars were divided in six groups (n = 10): Pola Luminat...
Accurate counting of mosquito larval populations is essential for maintaining optimal conditions and population control within rearing facilities, assessing disease transmission risks, and implementing effective vector control measures. While existin...
Rapid technological advances and growing participation from amateur naturalists have made countless images of insects in their natural habitats available on global web portals. Despite advances in automated species identification, traits like develop...
Net-winged midge larvae (Blephariceridae) are known for their remarkable ability to adhere to and crawl on the slippery surfaces of rocks in fast-flowing and turbulent alpine streams, waterfalls, and rivers. This remarkable performance can be attribu...
