Understanding the drivers of invasive species' success is essential for predicting and managing their ecological impacts. , a South American species first recorded in Bucharest in 2015, is currently expanding into urban and peri-urban areas of Romania, raising concerns about its invasive potential. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of its invasiveness by integrating species distribution modeling, a reproductive trait analysis, and morpho-structural evaluations.

2,6-Dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (2,6-DCBQ) is an emerging chlorinated disinfection byproduct (DBP) in bodies of water. However, this compound poses an unknown toxic effect on cyanobacteria. In this study, the toxicological mechanisms of 2,6-DCBQ in () were investigated through physiological and nontargeted metabolomic assessments.

Casting a shadow upon marine ecosystems worldwide, microplastic pollution emerges as a formidable threat, yet its repercussions on commercially significant marine fish remain largely unexplored. This investigation delves into the realm of microplastic contamination within three tuna species (Euthynnus affinis, Thunnus tonggol, and Auxis rochei) inhabiting Malaysian waters, with a keen focus on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), gills, and edible muscle. These species were chosen due to their significant ecological roles and considerable commercial value, being extensively fished and widely consumed across global regions.

The growth of knowledge and research practices in any discipline is characterised by a trade-off between depth and breadth: we can either invest efforts to learn a little about many things, or learn a lot about few things. In parasitology, breadth of knowledge corresponds to research on biodiversity and taxonomy: the discovery and description of an increasing number of new species. In contrast, depth of knowledge comes from focused research on a few model species, about which we accumulate much detailed information.
