The Trichoptera are an important component of freshwater ecosystems. In the Iberian Peninsula, 380 taxa caddisflies known, with nearly 1/3 total species being endemic in region. A reference collection morphologically identified specimens, representing 142 taxa, was constructed. InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) 01 dataset contains records 438 sequenced specimens. this correspond to about 37% dive...

Freshwaters are likely to serve as reservoirs for engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) due their accelerated unintentional release, increasing the relevance of assessing impacts on aquatic biota and ecosystem processes they drive. Stream-dwelling microbes, particularly fungi, invertebrate shredders play an essential role in decomposition organic matter transfer energy higher trophic levels. We asses...

BACKGROUND There is a need to develop potential new therapies for the management of diabetes and hypertension. Australian medicinal plants collected from the Kuuku I'yu (Northern Kaanju) homelands, Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia were investigated to determine their therapeutic potential. Extracts were tested for inhibition of protein glycation and key enzymes relevant to the managem...
