Background: Disturbances in the gut microbiome (GM) during the first year of life may contribute to allergy risk. This period is characterized by rapid microbial colonization, influenced by factors like delivery mode and infant feeding practices. This study investigates changes in key GM taxa and...
Bivalves serve as an ideal ecological indicator; hence, their use by the NOAA Mussel Watch Program to monitor environmental health. This study aimed to expand the baseline knowledge of using metabolic end points in environmental monitoring by investigating the dreissenid mussel metabolome in the ...
Maritime traffic exposes coastal organisms to both acoustic disturbance and chemical pollution, yet how these stressors affect and interact across early developmental stages remains poorly understood. We investigated stage-specific metabolic responses of blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) larv...
