Migration in animals and associated adaptations to contrasting environments are underpinned by complex genetic architecture. Here, we explore the genomic basis of facultative anadromy in brown trout (Salmo trutta), wherein some individuals migrate to sea while others remain resident in natal rivers, to better understand how alternative migratory tactics (AMTs) are maintained evolutionarily. To identify genomic variants associated with AMTs, we sequenced whole genomes for 194 individual trout from five anadromous-resident population pairs, situated above and below waterfalls, in five different Irish rivers.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute pancreatitis (AP) can lead to an increased risk of diabetes (DM) in young individuals, prompting a study to identify predictors of prediabetes (preDM) or DM after AP episodes.
  • A cohort of patients aged 21 and under was monitored for 3 and 12 months after an initial AP admission, assessing various clinical, laboratory, and imaging factors against the development of preDM/DM.
  • Key findings indicated that severe AP, higher levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), along with certain imaging markers and patient age, were significant predictors for the onset of preDM/DM in this population.

Rainbow trout fingerlings were fed, in triplicate, diets supplemented with 0 (CTL), 50 (50 TM), 100 (100 TM), 200 (200 TM), 400 (400 TM) and 800 (800 TM) mg/kg of thymol, followed by 48 h of thermal stress. Growth performance and humoral immunological parameters showed no significant responses to dietary thymol concentrations. Fish fed 50-400 mg/kg thymol diets had significantly higher survival after heat stress.

Insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) regulate insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling, but IGFBP-specific functions are not well characterized in fishes. A line of rainbow trout () lacking a functional IGFBP-2b was produced using gene editing and subsequent breeding to an F2 generation. This loss-of-function model [IGFBP-2b knockout (2bKO)] was subjected to either continuous feeding or feed deprivation (3 wk) followed by refeeding (1 wk).

The significant surge of ionic liquids (ILs) research over the past decade has led to the formation of various novel ionic liquid compounds and their diverse applications. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) for geothermal power generation are an emerging IL application as a heat extraction fluid. The once widely held belief in the environmentally friendly characteristics of ionic liquids, mainly due to their insignificant vapor pressure, is now being scrutinized.
