Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change
Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

The Digestive Tract of Cephalopods: Toward Non-invasive In vivo Monitoring of Its Physiology
Ensuring the health and welfare of animals in research is paramount, and the normal functioning of the digestive tract is essential for both. Here we critically assess non- or minimally-invasive techniques which may be used to assess a cephalopod's ...

A Spontaneous Mutation in tfoX Impairs Bioluminescence in Photobacterium kishitanii ANT‐2200
A frameshift mutation in tfoX generates a truncated regulator associated with reduced lux–rib expression and low luminescence. Complementation with wild‐type tfoX restores transcription and light production, supporting a role for TfoX in regulating bioluminescence independently of quorum sensing.
