Acetylcholine Depolarizes Barnacle Photoreceptors [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1985
ABSTRACT A variety of vertebrate and invertebrate sensory cells are known to be sensitive to acetylcholine (ACh), although the purpose of ACh receptors on these cells is not understood. Acetylcholine elicits action potentials from the sensory cell of the crayfish stretch receptor organ, which receives inhibitory but not excitatory ...

Norman and Nietzsche: The Political Project of Lindsay's The Magic Pudding

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
Australian artist and writer Norman Lindsay (1879–1969) wrote 11 novels and two children's books, one of which—The Magic Pudding first published in 1918—remains a national classic. This article argues that readers and critics have long misunderstood Lindsay's intention in writing this lengthy cartoon‐story about the adventures of Bunyip Bluegum in ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Low breeding propensity in a declining Arctic‐breeding swan revealed by telemetry data

Ibis, EarlyView.
Many migratory bird populations are declining in the face of habitat degradation and climate change, making it important to identify which stages of their annual cycle are most affected in order to guide conservation measures. The Bewick's Swan Cygnus columbianus bewickii, an Arctic‐breeding waterfowl species, has suffered a dramatic population decline

Testing adaptive hypotheses on the evolution of larval life history in acorn and stalked barnacles

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Despite strong selective pressure to optimize larval life history in marine environments, there is a wide diversity with regard to developmental mode, size, and time larvae spend in the plankton.
