Volumetric Comparison of Overall Brain and Neuropil Size Between Social and Non‐social Spiders: Exploring the Social Brain Hypothesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals Coordinated Adaptations in Genes, Metabolism, and Gut Microbiota Underpinning Herbivory in Lordiphosa Flies

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Multi‐omics analysis reveals that herbivorous adaptation in Lordiphosa flies arises from coordinated interactions across the genome, transcriptome, and gut microbiota: genomic expansions of detoxification (e.g., cytochrome P450s) and carbohydrate metabolism gene families, transcriptomic upregulation of energy pathways like lipid oxidation and ...

Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

Sex Role–Dependent Behavioral and Architectural Divergence in a Jumping Spider

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract contrasts sex‐equivalent cognition (route‐planning & memory) with female‐biased nest architecture. Both sexes perform similarly in cognitive tests, but females build complex, geometry‐matching nests while males make simple shelters.

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Genotype‐Informed Whole‐Animal Kinome Screening Reveals Shared Kinase Vulnerabilities Across Driver Contexts in PDAC

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Overview of experimental workflow and key findings. Clinically prevalent 2‐hit and 3‐hit PDAC genotypes were first modeled in Drosophila to enable kinome‐wide genetic screening. Candidate therapeutic targets were prioritized using human tumor expression data and pathway enrichment analyses.
