Evolution of Allorecognition in the Tunicata
Biology, 2020 Allorecognition, the ability to distinguish self or kin from unrelated conspecifics, plays several important biological roles in invertebrate animals. Two of these roles include negotiating limited benthic space for colonial invertebrates, and inbreeding

AlkaPlorer: A database‐driven explorer for natural alkaloids and derivatives
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1384-1398, May 2026.The alkaloid database AlkaPlorer integrates over 130,000 compounds across 12,250 species. By linking chemical structures with biological and evolutionary data, it reveals how these molecules evolve and function. This platform serves as a vital resource for AI‐driven discovery in plant metabolism and modern drug development. ABSTRACT Alkaloids, renowned

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.Catch and environmental performance of modified scallop dredge designs were assessed. Skid belly bags increased scallop catch by 14%–19% and reduced gear wear. N‐Virodredge reduced catch of scallop juveniles and sorting time. Gear footprint on the seabed was reduced by 50% for skid belly bags. N‐Virodredge cut fuel use by 30%, reducing carbon emissions

ChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 4, April 2026.Following the Danube Flow. The first total syntheses of highly brominated rubrolides T, U, and U‐analog, together with the efficient and divergent syntheses of rubrolides A, D, and P. The dibrominated key intermediate, obtained via a Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction, is the centerpiece of the synthesis.

An otx/nodal regulatory signature for posterior neural development in ascidians. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 In chordates, neural induction is the first step of a complex developmental process through which ectodermal cells acquire a neural identity. In ascidians, FGF-mediated neural induction occurs at the 32-cell stage in two blastomere pairs, precursors ...

The Amphioxus SoxB Family: Implications for the Evolution of Vertebrate Placodes [PDF]
, 2007 Cranial placodes are regions of thickened ectoderm that give rise to sense organs and ganglia in the vertebrate head. Homologous structures are proposed to exist in urochordates, but have not been found in cephalochordates, suggesting the first chordates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Captive coral aquaculture is increasingly important for both the aquarium trade and reef restoration, but production can be undermined by hard‐to‐detect pests such as the Acropora‐eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae. We developed and validated a highly sensitive ddPCR assay capable of detecting P.

Feeding cessation alters host morphology and bacterial communities in the ascidian Pseudodistoma crucigaster [PDF]
, 2016 11 páginas, 2 tablas, 7 figurasBackground: Ascidians can associate with abundant and diverse consortia ofmicrobial symbionts, yet these communities remain unexamined for the majority of host ascidians and little is known about host-symbiont interactions.
