The Effect of Unpredictable Chronic Stress on Rare Minnow (): Growth, Behaviour and Physiology.

Fishes often adjust their behaviour patterns and physiological responses to cope with changing environments, and different life experiences affect them differently. Fishes might adapt to short-term stress, whereas long-term unpredictable stress may lead to various adverse effects. Although some studies have constructed unpredictable stress models of fish, the effect of unpredictable chronic stress (UCS) in the laboratory is poorly understood in fishes.

[Temporal and spatial evolution of regional cultural landscape under the influence of construction land expansion: A case study of Hanjiang delta in Guangdong, China.].

Cultural landscapes are the products of combination of natural and human factors with constant change in response to human behavior. Exploring the impacts of construction land expansion on cultural landscapes is the key to understand the formal connotations and value characteristics of human activities interfering with cultural landscapes. In this study, we first classified the cultural landscape of the Hanjiang Delta and then used the landscape index to quantitatively describe the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of the cultural landscape from 1980 to 2018.

Long-term exposure to microplastics induces intestinal function dysbiosis in rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus).

Microplastics are ubiquitous in the natural environment, especially in waters, and their potential impact is also a key issue of concern. In this study, we used 1 µm, 1000 μg/L, polystyrene (PS-MPs) particles to analyze the effects after exposure for 14 and 28 days in rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus). Results indicated that PS-MPs induce structural alterations in the intestinal tissue, including epithelial damage, villi damage and the inflammatory cell infiltration, while the changes were severer after exposure for 28 days.

Parental cadmium exposure during the spawning period reduces cadmium sensitivity through the antioxidant system in rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) larvae.

Cadmium (Cd) is a noxious heavy metal widely dispersed in aquatic systems. Parental Cd exposure of fish species at environmental concentrations has been shown to cause deformities and stunted growth in their offspring. However, the long-term effects and the mechanisms underlying parental Cd exposure in fish species on Cd sensitivity in their offspring remain unclear.

Exploring built environment factors on e-bike travel behavior in urban China: A case study of Jinan.

E-bike, characterized as a low-carbon and health-beneficial active travel mode, is gradually becoming popular in China. Although built environment factors are considered to be key parameters that can facilitate or hinder active transportation, such as cycling or walking, few studies have explored the impact of built environment on e-bikes. To fill this gap, this study was the first to explore the relationship between e-bike usage and built environment factors based on population level travel survey in central Jinan, China.

Unveiling and application of the chicken egg proteome: An overview on a two-decade achievement.

Egg proteins are not only the most complete and ideal form of protein for human or embryo nutrition but also play the vital role in the food industry. Egg proteins are subjected to many potential changes under various conditions, which may further alter the nutritional value, physicochemical-properties, and bioactivities of proteins. Recent advances in our understanding of the proteome of raw egg matrix from different species and dynamic changes occurring during storage and incubation are developing rapidly.

UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-based untargeted lipidomics reveals the variation of yolk lipids during egg storage.

Background: Egg yolk is recognized for its excellent nutritional benefit and economic value; however, egg is a perishable food, potentially losing quality if not handled properly between the time from farm production to consumption. Knowledge of the changes of yolk lipid composition under an extreme storage condition close to vitelline membrane breaking, which results in an inedible condition for shelf-eggs, remains incomplete. Considering the complexity of yolk lipids, the architectural features of yolk lipids at high-temperature storage (30°C for 10 days versus fresh) were classified through lipidomics.

The Effect of Environmental Enrichment on Laboratory Rare Minnows (): Growth, Physiology, and Behavior.

Environmental enrichment is a method to increase environmental heterogeneity, which may reduce stress and improve animal welfare. Previous studies have shown that environmental enrichment can increase the growth rate, decrease aggressive and anxiety-like behaviors, improve learning ability and agility, and reduce cortisol levels in animals. These effects usually differ between species.

Omics as a Window To Unravel the Dynamic Changes of Egg Components during Chicken Embryonic Development.

Chicken egg, as a completely aseptic and self-sufficient biological entity, contains all of the components required for embryonic development. As such, it constitutes not only an excellent model to study the mechanisms of early embryo nutrition and disease origin but can also be used to develop egg-based products with specific applications. Different omics disciplines, like transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, represent promising approaches to assess nutritional and functional molecules in eggs under development.
