Non‐invasive measurement of glucocorticoids: The reptile perspective

Journal of Zoology, Volume 323, Issue 2, Page 87-96, June 2024.
Understanding reptile stress is crucial for their welfare and conservation. While blood glucocorticoid measurement has been the gold standard, non‐invasive techniques can provide relevant endocrine data with minimal to no disturbance to the animal. Indeed, these can provide different information on stress response (short‐term vs. long‐term).

A Hormonal Signaling Cascade During an Early Adult Critical Period Required for Courtship Memory Retention in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2017
Formation and expression of memories are critical for context-dependent decision making. In Drosophila, a courting male rejected by a mated female subsequently courts less avidly when paired with a virgin female, a behavioral modification attributed to ...

The neuropeptide pigment‐dispersing factor signals independently of Bruchpilot‐labelled active zones in daily remodelled terminals of Drosophila clock neurons

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 59, Issue 10, Page 2665-2685, May 2024.
Anatomical characterisation of the distribution of endogenously tagged Bruchpilot (a homolog of mammalian ELKS proteins) and the neuropeptide PDF in a subset of circadian pacemaker cells in the fly brain combined with neurogenetic experiments suggests that the release of PDF is independent of the active zone.

Let's talk about sex: Mechanisms of neural sexual differentiation in Bilateria

WIREs Mechanisms of Disease, Volume 16, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
In many animals, sex differentiation of neural circuits involves two axes: Along the first axis, particular classes of neurons are specified to produce a sex‐sensitive factor; this specification event is sex‐neutral. Along the second axis, sex information is imposed on this sex‐sensitive factor, either through hormonal or cell‐autonomous mechanisms ...

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.
