Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

ANALYSIS OF C. ELEGANS By

, 2014
Forty-six genomic gene expression studies of free living soil nematode C. elegans have been published. To facilitate exploratory analysis of those studies, we constructed a database containing all the published C. elegans expression datasets.

The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Identification and characterization of agrin in "Caenorhabditis elegans" [PDF]

, 2006
Agrin is a large basement membrane (BM) proteoglycan expressed in many tissues in vertebrates, with particularly important function at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) where it clusters acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and maintains structural stability ...

Knowledge gaps and research directions in migration ecology for advancing the conservation of migratory songbirds

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding migration ecology is essential for effective conservation of migratory species. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ecology of migrating species, it is necessary to study how species react to the complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic conditions when optimizing their migratory journey in terms of survival ...

Utilizing C. elegans Spermatogenesis and Fertilization Mutants as a Model for Human Disease

Journal of Developmental Biology
The nematode C. elegans is a proven model for identifying genes involved in human disease, and the study of C. elegans reproduction, specifically spermatogenesis and fertilization, has led to significant contributions to our understanding of cellular ...
