Beyond synapses: cytoplasmic connections in brain function and evolution
ABSTRACT Following Ramón y Cajal's groundbreaking contributions to the identification of synapses, research in neuroscience predominantly focused on their pivotal role in neural communication (the neuron doctrine), overlooking an intriguing possibility suggested by Golgi of non‐synaptic interactions among neural cells.

First records of two lobate comb-jellies (Ctenophora) from the Pakistani coast [PDF]
The knowledge on the comb-jellies faunistics along the southern Asian coast is very scarce. For some countries such as Pakistan there are no previous formal records of ctenophores. This study is a first survey to the group diversity along Pakistani coast,

Adult and offspring size in the ocean over 17 orders of magnitude follows two life history strategies [PDF]
Explaining variability in offspring vs. adult size among groups is a necessary step to determine the evolutionary and environmental constraints shaping variability in life history strategies.

The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans
ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major

Background Multiple RNA samples are frequently processed together and often mixed before multiplex sequencing in the same sequencing run. While different samples can be separated post sequencing using sample barcodes, the possibility of cross ...

The early expansion and evolutionary dynamics of POU class genes. [PDF]
The POU genes represent a diverse class of animal-specific transcription factors that play important roles in neurogenesis, pluripotency, and cell-type specification. Although previous attempts have been made to reconstruct the evolution of the POU class,

ABSTRACT Aim Copepods are the key secondary producers in marine ecosystems, yet their in situ diet and symbionts remain underexplored due to technical challenges, limiting our understanding of their population dynamics and ecological functions. Using DNA metabarcoding, we jointly characterised the natural diet and symbionts of copepods across Chinese ...

A late-surviving stem-ctenophore from the Late Devonian of Miguasha (Canada)
Like other soft-bodied organisms, ctenophores (comb jellies) produce fossils only under exceptional taphonomic conditions. Here, we present the first record of a Late Devonian ctenophore from the Escuminac Formation from Miguasha in eastern Canada. Based
