Article Abstract
A miscible tetrahydrofuran-tris buffer mixture has been used to fabricate polydopamine hollow capsules with a size of 200 nm and with a shell thickness of 40 nm. An unusual non-emulsion soft template mechanism has been disclosed to explain the formation of capsules. The results indicate that the capsule structure is highly dependent on the volume fraction of tetrahydrofuran as well as the solvent, and the shell thickness of capsules can be controlled by adjusting the reaction time and dopamine concentration.

Predation by shell-breaking crabs on a marine gastropod along a latitudinal gradient in the southwestern Atlantic: influence of extrinsic and intrinsic factors.

Biotic interactions-and predation in particular-are thought to follow a latitudinal gradient, increasing towards the tropics; yet empirical evidence remains contradictory and largely based on studies from the Northern Hemisphere. Moreover, the role of environmental variables shaping latitudinal gradients of predation intensity has seldom been tested. Here, we quantify predation by shell-breaking crabs on modern shells of the marine gastropod along a latitudinal gradient (40°-54° S) on the southwestern Atlantic coast.

Here, Ln-Li co-doped YO@ZnO core-shell heterostructures were synthesized by three different techniques - intermediate layer conversion method, a hydrothermal method, and an interlayer mediated hydrothermal method. The synthesis procedure is optimized based on the thickness and compactness of the developed shell. The growth kinetics and synthesis mechanism of each adopted method have been explained in detail using XRD, FESEM, TEM, SAED, and EDX characterization techniques.

Laying hens possess a calcium-specific appetite that intensifies towards lights out to meet the high demands for eggshell formation and skeletal maintenance. Pecking blocks (PBs) are edible enrichments that can serve as an additional calcium source. We explored the relationships between PB preference (PBp), PB use, keel fracture status (KS), and eggshell quality.

Coastal sediments in semi-enclosed bays are particularly susceptible to contamination due to limited water circulation and ongoing contaminant input. In Masan Bay, a heavily impacted coastal area in Korea, sediment remediation is essential to alleviate the effects of organic enrichment and hypoxia. This study investigated the effectiveness of oyster shell capping as an in-situ remediation technique by assessing its impact on sediment environment, microbial communities, and macrobenthic fauna.
