Investigating body patterning in aquarium-raised flamboyant cuttlefish (Metasepia pfefferi) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Cuttlefish are known for their ability to quickly alter their total appearance, or body pattern, to camouflage or to communicate with predators, prey and conspecifics.

Rotiferan Hox genes give new insights into the evolution of metazoan bodyplans [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Rotifers are microscopic animals with an unusual, nonsegmented body plan consisting of a head, trunk and foot. Here, Fröbius and Funch investigate the role of Hox genes—which are widely used in animal body plan patterning—in rotifer embryogenesis and ...

Centrin diversity and basal body patterning across evolution: new insights from Paramecium [PDF]
Biology Open, 2017 First discovered in unicellular eukaryotes, centrins play crucial roles in basal body duplication and anchoring mechanisms. While the evolutionary status of the founding members of the family, Centrin2/Vfl2 and Centrin3/cdc31 has long been investigated ...

The planarian dorsal-ventral boundary regulates anterior-posterior axis growth and patterning. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyRegeneration can involve the coordination of pattern formation in an outgrowth with the spatial pattern of pre-existing tissues, such as along body axes.

Retention of embryonic positional identity signatures in the adult sheep tail: evidence from HOXB13 spatial RNA expression gradients [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBody axis patterning in vertebrates is controlled by HOX genes during embryogenesis, with their expression gradients defining spatial identity along the anterior–posterior axis.

“Drop the Body”: Body Disposal Patterns in Sexual Homicide [PDF]
International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, 2020 The current study investigates body disposal patterns in sexual homicide and examines whether offender’s behavior differ between solved and unsolved cases. To address these two research questions in line with rational choice perspective, a series of logistic regression analyses was conducted on a sample of 250 solved, and 100 unsolved sexual homicide ...

Where does the cranial base flexion take place in humans? [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 The modern human has the most flexed cranial base among all living animals. The flexure allowed a larger cranial volume to accommodate a greater brain. Spheno-occipitalis synchondrosis (SOS) has been largely responsible for cranial base flexion, between ...

Sensors, 2021 This study investigated the whole-body coordination patterning in successful and faulty spikes using self-organising map-based cluster analysis. Ten young, elite volleyball players (aged 15.5 ± 0.7 years) performed 60 volleyball spikes in a real-game ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 Early patterning of the body during animal development is a fundamental process to subsequent events including cell differentiation, tissue and organ formation, and correct function of the adult body. We focused on two major topics: body segmentation and brain patterning, both of which are essential for conferring a functional complexity to the body ...
