An unexpected twist: Sperm cells coil to the right in land snails and to the left in song birds [PDF]

, 2017
In animals, cell polarity may initiate symmetry breaking very early in development, ultimately leading to whole-body asymmetry. Helical sperm cells, which occur in a variety of animal clades, are one class of cells that show clearly visible bilateral

Climate‐related variation of metabolic rate across the distribution of a broadly tolerant invasive forest pest

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 1117-1132, June 2024.
Abstract Aim Metabolic rate is a widely studied physiological species trait related to energetics, climate, and geographical distributions. Hypotheses have been proposed to explain variation in metabolic rate, but evidence has been mixed due to the limited sampling scope of intraspecific studies.
