Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 3060-3075, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Although animal dispersal is known to play key roles in ecological and evolutionary processes such as colonization, population extinction and local adaptation, little is known about its genetic basis, particularly in vertebrates. Untapping the genetic basis of dispersal should deepen our understanding of how dispersal behaviour evolves, the ...

Welfare of Decapod Crustaceans with Special Emphasis on Stress Physiology
Aquaculture Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Despite the growing concern on animal welfare in crustacean farming, both from legislative bodies as well as the common public, studies on welfare are limited and transfer to routine farming is missing. While biocertification schemes such as the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) involve a welfare dimension, these dimensions cannot be communicated ...

Signaling Pathways That Regulate the Crustacean Molting Gland
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 A pair of Y-organs (YOs) are the molting glands of decapod crustaceans. They synthesize and secrete steroid molting hormones (ecdysteroids) and their activity is controlled by external and internal signals.

Identification and Characterization of the Corazonin Receptor and Possible Physiological Roles of the Corazonin-Signaling Pathway in Rhodnius prolixus. [PDF]
, 2016 Neuropeptides control many physiological and endocrinological processes in animals, acting as neuroactive chemicals within the central and peripheral nervous systems.

[Retracted] Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Associated with Endometriosis and Its Influencing Factors
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Aim. To investigate the adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with endometriosis and its influencing factors. Methods. A total of 188 endometriosis patients who gave birth at our hospital between June 2018 and January 2021 were screened for eligibility and included in the research group, while a control group of 188 nonendometriosis women who delivered

Endocrine modulation of primary chemosensory neurons regulates Drosophila courtship behavior.
PLoS Genetics, 2022 The decision to engage in courtship depends on external cues from potential mates and internal cues related to maturation, health, and experience. Hormones allow for coordinated conveyance of such information to peripheral tissues.

Ancient origins of arthropod moulting pathway components
eLife, 2019 Ecdysis (moulting) is the defining character of Ecdysoza (arthropods, nematodes and related phyla). Despite superficial similarities, the signalling cascade underlying moulting differs between Panarthropoda and the remaining ecdysozoans.

Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) transcriptomic analysis and neuropeptidomics [PDF]
, 2018 Stinkbugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are of major economic importance as pest of crops. Among the species composing the stinkbug complex, Nezara viridula is one of the most abundant in Brazil, Argentina and the Southern USA. However, this species has been

The role of neuropeptides in regulating ecdysis and reproduction in the hemimetabolous insect Rhodnius prolixus [PDF]
, 2022 In ecdysozoan animals, moulting entails the production of a new exoskeleton and shedding of the old one during ecdysis. It is induced by a pulse of ecdysone that regulates the expression of different hormonal receptors and activates a peptide-mediated ...
