Going Out on a Limb: Appendage Length and Function Shape Leg Loss Without Evidence of Autotomy Modulation

Ethology, EarlyView.
Leg autotomy in the harvestman Jussara sp. is primarily determined by leg identity rather than by the functional consequences of previous leg loss. Although sensory legs II are the most frequently autotomized, individuals do not avoid losing homologous legs or adopting an asymmetric gait.

Embryonic and larval development of the endangered Chiapas killifish Tlaloc hildebrandi (Cyprinodontiformes: Profundulidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The early ontogeny of endemic freshwater fishes provides essential baseline biological information for conservation and management, particularly in species with restricted distributions and high vulnerability to habitat degradation, environmental change and population decline. This study presents the first detailed description of embryonic and

A CRISPR‐Based Rapid Detection Assay for Crayfish Plague (Aphanomyces astaci) From Environmental Samples

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crayfish plague, caused by Aphanomyces astaci (Aa), is an infectious disease invasive in Europe, where its rapid spread has resulted in sharp declines of native crayfish species. Monitoring currently relies on a highly sensitive, but costly and time‐consuming qPCR approach.

East European crayfish stocks at risk: arrival of non-indigenous crayfish species

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2016
An increasing number of non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) of apparently pet trade origin have become established particularly in Europe. Especially alarming are recent confirmation of two distantly separated marbled crayfish Procambarus fallax f ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Crayfish distribution updating in central Italy [PDF]

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2009
Introductions of non-indigenous crayfish have received great attention from biologists and policy makers during the last decade. Purposes of this study are to update the knowledge about the crayfish distribution in Latium (central Italy), and to show how

First evidence of crayfish plague agent in populations of the marbled crayfish (Procambarus fallax forma virginalis)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014
The introduction of non-indigenous species and associated diseases can cause declines in indigenous flora and fauna and threaten local biodiversity.

Maturation of spinal motor control through developmental changes in ion currents

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Ion channels of spinal neurons have been shown to change during development in a wide range of species. These changes occur at specific stages of development. An important developmental process is the maturation of motor control by which the body acquires new movements or refines movements already present.

The Single, the Whole, and the Pooled: Implications of Tissue Choice for Stable Isotope Analysis

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 9, Page 933-939, November 2026.
ABSTRACT In the exciting era of non‐invasive tissue sampling and data reuse via open access databases, it is increasingly challenging to ensure comparability of sample types for stable isotope analysis in ecology. According to the theoretical predictions about the changes in the stable isotope values between prey and consumers and tissue turnover rates,
