Abstract Biomonitoring surveys make use of metabarcoding tools to describe the community composition. These studies match their sequencing results against public genomic databases to identify the species. However, mitochondrial genomic reference data are yet incomplete, only a few genes may be available, or the suitability of existing sequence data is ...

Fossilized soft tissues in Palaeozoic bryozoans
Abstract Thin sections of three Palaeozoic bryozoans reveal fossilized soft tissues that show the position of organic cuticle and internal structures such as the membranous sac and gut. The fossilization occurred apparently due to fast burial under anoxic conditions.

Comparative study of the evolution of cancer gene duplications across fish
Abstract Comparative studies of cancer‐related genes not only provide novel information about their evolution and function but also an understanding of cancer as a driving force in biological systems and species’ life histories. So far, these studies have focused on mammals.

Sundanellid ctenostomes are a little investigated group of ctenostome bryozoans of ambiguous phylogenetic affiliation. In this study, we describe the soft‐body morphology of sundanellids from two localities, Singapore and Florida, to find characters elucidating the detailed anatomy of these animals and find characters supporting its relationship to ...

On the origin of BAG(3) and its consequences for an expansion of BAG3's role in protein homeostasis
In our here presented research, we were able to identify possible and highly conserved LC3 interacting region (LIR) motifs within the protein structure of BAG3. These revelations may cast a new light on BAG3's role in proteostasis and autophagy, independent of other receptor and adaptor proteins.

ABSTRACT Bryozoan–stromatolite associations (bryostromatolites) formed conspicuous reef structures throughout the Sheinwoodian (Wenlock) to Ludfordian (Ludlow) stratigraphy on Gotland but have not been described so far. They are mainly composed of encrusting bryozoans forming a complex intergrowth with porostromate and spongiostromate microbes and are ...

The Permian strata in the southwest Tarim Basin contain organic reefs with good exploration prospects. Based on observations of outcrops and thin section examination of the Permian Keziliqiman Formation reef in the Sangzhu section of Pishan County, Xinjiang, northwest China, the basic characteristics of the reef are studied.

Phylogeny and evolutionary history of the amniote egg
We review morphological features of the amniote egg and embryos in a large comparative phylogenetic framework, including all major clades of extant vertebrates. We discuss 40 characters that are relevant for an analysis of the evolutionary history of the vertebrate egg. Special attention is given to the morphology of the cellular yolk sac, the eggshell,

Development of the amniote ventrolateral body wall
Abstract In vertebrates, the trunk consists of the musculoskeletal structures of the back and the ventrolateral body wall, which together enclose the internal organs of the circulatory, digestive, respiratory and urogenital systems. This review gives an overview on the development of the thoracic and abdominal wall during amniote embryogenesis ...

A brief history of galectin evolution
Galectins are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins found in vertebrates in great abundance and diversity in terms of both structure and ligand-binding properties as well as physiological function.
