Same genus, same burden: Microplastic pollution in banded newts
(Elsevier, 2025)Microplastic (MP) pollution is a worldwide environmental issue, but its effects on amphibians, especially urodeles, are still largely understudied. This study investigates MP ingestion in three species of the salamander ... -
Present and future habitat shifts of the most important commercial fish species in the Black Sea under climate change
(Springer Nature, 2025)The Black Sea is unique due to its semi-enclosed area and anoxic layer. However, changes in ecosystem conditions due to climate change in recent years threaten the viability of fish populations. This study focuses on ... -
Evaluation of synthesized methoxy chalcones for therapeutic potential through in vitro and in silico methods
(Marmara University, 2025)Chalcones are the precursors of flavonoids and have a wide range of biological activities. A series of methoxy chalcones (1-12) were synthesized using the Claisen-Schmidt method and identified by NMR analyses. Enzyme ... -
Integrated meta-analysis identifies keratin family genes and associated genes as key biomarkers and therapeutic targets in metastatic cutaneous melanoma
(MDPI, 2025)Background/Objectives: Cutaneous melanoma is one of the aggressive forms of skin cancer originating from melanocytes. The high incidence of melanoma metastasis continues to rise, partly due to the complex nature of the ... -
Microplastic contamination of the Turkish corm lizard (Blanus strauchi Bedriaga, 1884) in Muğla province (Türkiye)
(MDPI, 2025)Because of their diversity, microplastics (MPs), which are synthetic particles smaller than 5 mm, are highly bioavailable and widely distributed. The prevalence of microplastics in aquatic habitats has been extensively ... -
Age structure, growth, and survival rates of an insular population of hemidactylus turcicus
(Wiley, 2025)The Mediterranean house gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758), a widespread nocturnal lizard, exhibits diverse life-history traits, yet its insular populations in Türkiye are underexplored. This study examines how ... -
Genome-wide analysis of codon usage bias in Ascovirus: Insights into viral evolution and host adaptation
(Academic Press, 2025)Ascoviruses are circular double-stranded DNA viruses that infect lepidopterans, producing large enveloped virions and causing a chronic, deadly disease with apoptosis-like cytopathology. Understanding the codon usage ... -
Essential oils, phenolic contents, and antimicrobial activities of vicia bithynica l. And vicia cracca l. Subsp. Cracca
(Wiley, 2025)This study aimed to determine the essential oils (EOs), phenolic content, and antimicrobial activity of Vicia bithynica L. and V. cracca L. subsp. cracca. The chemical composition of the EOs was identified by gas ... -
Comprehensive analysis of the codon usage patterns in the polyprotein coding sequences of the honeybee viruses
(Frontiers Media SA, 2025)Honeybee viruses (HVs) are some of the most significant pathogens affecting these insects and are commonly found in beehives across the globe. This viral infection leads to substantial economic losses in the beekeeping ... -
Microplastics in the Euphrates: Assessing contamination in water, sediment, and commercial fish species
(Elsevier, 2025)Microplastics (MPs) are increasingly recognized as emerging pollutants in freshwater ecosystems, with implications for ecological integrity and food safety. This study presents the first integrated assessment of MP ... -
Production starch using the yeast (cryptococcus neoformans HTM1 strain) isolated from tea (camellia sinensis)
(Wiley, 2025)Starch is a staple food in human and animal nutrition as well as a widely used raw material in industry. This study determined the capacity of producing starch of a new yeast culture, which was defined as Cryptococcus ... -
Secondary volatile metabolite composition in scorzonera pseudolanata grossh. Plant parts
(MDPI, 2025)Scorzonera species exhibit various biological activities largely dependent on their chemical composition. While numerous studies have investigated these species’ secondary volatile metabolite content, to our knowledge, ... -
Microplastic footprints in marsh frogs (Pelophylax ridibundus) from two Turkish lakes
(Springer, 2025)Microplastic (MP) pollution poses a growing threat to freshwater ecosystems with potential consequences for inhabiting species such as amphibians. In this study, MP contamination in biotic (Pelophylax ridibundus—gastrointestinal ... -
Contribution to the biosystematics of the wild Vaccinium species distributed in Turkey
(Altai State University, 2025)The genus Vaccinium L. (Ericaceae) consists of shrubs or dwarf shrubs species widely distributed in Southeast Asia, America, and Europe. In the present paper, members of the genus (V. arctostaphylos, V. myrtillus, V. ... -
Comprehensive analysis of hedysarum nitidum: identification phytochemical contents, antioxidant potential, antimicrobial properties, cytotoxic effects, and enzyme inhibition activities
(Wiley, 2025)Hedysarum species play a crucial agronomic role due to their high feed quality and ability to enhance soil fertility through nitrogen fixation. Traditionally, they have been used in medicine to boost energy, support the ... -
Synthesis of novel thiazole/thiadiazole conjugates of fluoroquinolones as potent antibacterial and antimycobacterial agents
(Wiley, 2025)Twenty azole-fluoroquinolone hybrids were designed and synthesized by conjugating thiazole and thiadiazole structures to ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin via a 2-oxoethyl bridge. The structures and purities of the synthesized ... -
Predicting the distribution of Sphagna (Bryophyta) in Türkiye: a perspective of present and future climate scenarios
(Frontiers Media SA, 2025)Climate change is a fact that impacts all living organisms. To understand its effects, numerous methods and techniques have been refined in recent years, with species distribution modeling (SDM) being one of the most widely ... -
Distribution of microplastics in tadpoles, adults, and habitats of three water frogs of Pelophylax spp.
(Springer, 2025)Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants, and amphibians are especially susceptible owing to their dual aquatic and terrestrial life cycle and permeable integument. This research examines the presence, ... -
Some novel 5-benzylidenethiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazole-6(5H)-one derivatives in the battle against cancer: Design, synthesis and their biological activities
(Elsevier, 2025)Considering the significant biological potential and the privileged status of the 1,2,4-triazole-5-thione scaffold as one of the essential building blocks in medicinal chemistry, a novel series of 30 new hybrid compounds ... -
