A multigene approach to identify the scorpion species (Arachnida: Scorpiones) of Colima, Mexico, with comments on their venom diversity

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad
Scorpion species diversity in Colima was investigated with a multigene approach. Fieldwork produced 34 lots of scorpions that were analyzed with 12S rDNA, 16S rDNA, COI, and 28S rDNA genetic markers.

Comparative Genomics of Sex‐Determination‐Related Genes Reveals Shared Evolutionary Patterns Between Bivalves and Mammals, but Not Fruit Flies

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.

Invertebrate Bile Acid‐Sensitive Ion Channels and Their Emergence in Bilateria

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.
This graphical abstract presents the evolutionary distribution and functional characteristics of bile acid‐sensing ion channels (BASICs) across bilaterians. A phylogenetic tree illustrates the presence of BASICs in diverse groups, extending beyond previously established mammalian findings.

Neutralizing Effects of Mimosa tenuiflora Extracts against Inflammation Caused by Tityus serrulatus Scorpion Venom

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Scorpion bite represents a significant and serious public health problem in certain regions of Brazil, as well as in other parts of the world. Inflammatory mediators are thought to be involved in the systemic and local immune response induced by Tityus serrulatus scorpion envenomation.

Inhibition of cGMP‐Signalling Rescues Retinal Ganglion Cells From Axotomy‐Induced Degeneration

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 169, Issue 4, April 2025.
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons are myelinated only beyond the lamina cribrosa, that is, when leaving the eye. Axotomy‐induced RGC degeneration is likely to be related to excessive nitric oxide (NO) production, leading to an over‐production of cGMP, over‐activation of protein kinase G (PKG) and excessive phosphorylation of target proteins, such as ...

Non‐gonadal expression of piRNAs is widespread across Arthropoda

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 1, Page 3-18, January 2025.
PIWI‐interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are known to protect the germline genome from transposable elements. Recently, evidence for their non‐gonadal expression has begun to emerge in some species. In this Perspective article, we combine an extensive literature review with a large analysis of transcriptomic data across arthropod species to investigate non ...

Three Novel Spider Genomes Unveil Spidroin Diversification and Hox Cluster Architecture: Ryuthela nishihirai (Liphistiidae), Uloborus plumipes (Uloboridae) and Cheiracanthium punctorium (Cheiracanthiidae)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Spiders are a hyperdiverse taxon and among the most abundant predators in nearly all terrestrial habitats. Their success is often attributed to key developments in their evolution such as silk and venom production and major apomorphies such as a whole‐genome duplication.
