Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Method for obtaining Chromosomes Method for obtaining Chromosomes

open access: yesCaldasia, 1973
It is very easy to obtain chromosomes from anuran amphibians.Amphibians have very large chromosomes which can easily be seen with an ordinary microscope. The method used has been tested in the laboratory and also at collecting sites. All that is required

Conservation of Mesoamerican Amphibians and Reptiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mesoamerica (or Middle America) is one of the world’s major herpetofauna hotspots with over 1,900 species of which about 1,000 are endemic. It is a hugely complicated region with megadiverse habitats and complex conservation conundrums.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

How developmental stressors affect mitochondrial respiratory function: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.

New Insights Into the Anconeus Epitrochlearis Muscle and Its Relationship to the Ulnar Nerve: Anatomical Study

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ulnar neuropathy due to compression at the cubital tunnel is common. However, our understanding of the relationships between this type of nerve compression and the variant anconeus epitrochlearis muscle (AEM) is poorly understood. Therefore, the present anatomical study was performed to better elucidate these relationships.

Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common
