MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophen- oxyacetic acid) is a herbicide used to control weeds in cereals and other crops. The aim of this study was to investigate the toxic effects of an MCPA-based herbicide formulation (Chwastox Extra ® 300 SL) in the common carp ( Cyprinus carpio ). The fish were exposed for 10 days, to a concentration which corresponded to 1 mg/l or 5 mg/l of MCPA. Our analysis showed fluctuations of the haematological parameters during the treatment. Plasma biochemical changes that were statistically significant, i.e.a decrease of the total protein concentration and alanine aminotransferase activity, were observed after 1 day of exposure. No histopathological lesions in the gills, trunk kidney and liver were identified. The results of the present study indicate that Chwastox Extra ® 300 SL has a relatively low toxicity for the common carp. It was also observed that the blood indices were more sensitive to the tested herbicide formulation than the microstructure of the selected organs. Further research aimed at studying the effects of Chwastox on water invertebrates and fish of other taxa is recommended.","PeriodicalId":50438,"journal":{"name":"Folia Biologica-Krakow","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135296608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Representatives of this genus are narrow oligophages associated mainly with plants of the genus Acer. Previous studies have focused only on the morphology of selected species, while not considering their geographical distribution. Among all species, the painted maple aphid Drepanaphis acerifoliae deserves particular attention, because it represents the broadest range in North America and is the only species of this genus to be found outside of its natural range, i.e. in Europe. Thanks to suitable niche modelling based on a maximum entropy model, we were able to present maps with the potential distribution of D.acerifoliae in its natural range. In North America, its distribution coincides with the natural range of the host plants (native to the eastern part), as well as the areas where they are planted (the western part). An extrapolation of these results to the area of Europe allowed for the designation of places where the aphids can find suitable climatic conditions for developing and expanding their spatial distribution. The model indicated the Mediterranean basin, almost all of Italy, excluding mountainous areas, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the western part of Germany, the southeast and central part of Great Britain, Hungary and the Balkan Peninsula. In a more continental view, the model pointed to areas stretching from the middle of eastern Ukraine, including Crimea, through Russia, to northern parts of Kazakhstan along the border with Russia. Additionally, the impact of climate change on the spread of the species within the next 80 years was analysed, both in North America and Europe. Models considering the potential future climate changes indicate that D.acerifoliae may find suitable niches further north of its current ranges. In North America, this is mostly areas of eastern Canada, while in Europe it includes the central and eastern part and the Asian part of Russia.","PeriodicalId":50438,"journal":{"name":"Folia Biologica-Krakow","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are few publications examining how groynes affect the functioning of a river. We investigated the effect of these hydro-engineering structures on the water beetle fauna of a river subject to strong\u0000 human pressure. The species composition, assemblages, functional and ecological groups of these beetles in groyne fields were compared with those of oxbows in the Odra valley. We demonstrated that the groyne fields were highly beneficial for water beetle development, offering highly suitable\u0000 alternative habitats to oxbows which, though natural, are sensitive and endangered habitats in river valleys. The numerically dominant species in the groyne fields were rheophiles, which are typical of weakly eutrophic, well-oxygenated oxbows. Species-wise, eurytopes were the most important\u0000 beetle assemblage. Macrophytes and organic matter were the factors governing the occurrence of saprophages and polyphages, which provide plentiful food resources for the predominating predators in these habitats. Either the pH, visibility, temperature, hardness and O2 both the vegetation,\u0000 water depth, breadth of the littoral of the two habitat types were key to the beetles' distribution. The presence of groyne fields has rendered the species richness of the Odra's water beetles comparable with that of large, natural rivers, which amply demonstrates that not all anthropogenic\u0000 transformations of habitats are inherently negative.","PeriodicalId":50438,"journal":{"name":"Folia Biologica-Krakow","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44652190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results obtained revealed that the tested PCBs and OH-PCBs interacted with and/or abolished the inhibitory\u0000 effects of DEX on T3 secretion and T4 to T3 conversion. The tested dl- and ndl-PCBs and their hydroxylated metabolites affected the basal and DEX-modified mRNA expression and the protein concentration of all three deiodinases. The PCBs and OH-PCBs did not change\u0000 the MCT8 gene expression; however, PCB118 and 4-OH-PCB107 reduced the MCT10 mRNA levels with a concomitant increase in the basal and DEX - -stimulated LAT1 mRNA expression. PCB153 and 3-OH-PCB153 did not influence the MCT10 expres- sion, but they elevated the\u0000 basal and reduced DEX-stimulated LAT1 mRNA levels. Among the four tested PCBs, only 4-OH-PCB decreased the TRβ0 mRNA expression. In conclusion, to our knowledge, these results revealed for the first time that both dl-PCB and ndl-PCB and their OH-PCBs affect T3\u0000 secretion and T4 to T3 conversion, as well as the expression of iodothyronine deiodinases and TH transporters in chicken liver. These results indicate that not only the parental PCBs, but also their hydroxylated deriva - tives may influence iodothyronine metabolism in\u0000 a chicken's liver, resulting in changes in T3 availability in the organism.","PeriodicalId":50438,"journal":{"name":"Folia Biologica-Krakow","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41767196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
