Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Nocturnal Behavior of Wintering Common Cranes (Grus grus) Under Varying Environmental Conditions
For diurnal species, nighttime represents a critical ecological boundary. Understanding the ecological determinants of nocturnal activity in taxa traditionally regarded as inactive after dusk is essential for elucidating the adaptive significance of nighttime behavior. We examined how night phase, nocturnal brightness (moon illumination and cloud cover)

Thermal stress is an important driver of species’ distribution in the intertidal zone and, with the forecasted increasing frequency of extreme high temperatures associated with climate change, is likely to play an even greater role in the future.

ABSTRACT Pedicellariae are small appendages on the surface of the echinoid test, involved in defence, cleaning, and locomotion. Pedicellariae in three species of camarodont sea urchins common in UK waters (Paracentrotus lividus [Lamarck, 1816], Psammechinus miliaris [P.L.S Müller, 1771] and Echinus esculentus [Linnaeus, 1758]) are the focus of this ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Case studies reporting crustaceans acting as basibionts for a wide range of encrusting invertebrates are widely observed in the literature. For swimming crabs of the genus Callinectes, these commensal interactions are commonly observed in estuaries and ...
