The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Specific versus non-specific immune responses in an invertebrate species evidenced by a comparative de novo sequencing study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Our present understanding of the functioning and evolutionary history of invertebrate innate immunity derives mostly from studies on a few model species belonging to ecdysozoa.

Origin and evolution of microvilli
Biology of the Cell, Volume 116, Issue 11, November 2024.Microvilli are widespread organelles of animal cells that frequently play a role in sensation and feeding. Ansel et al. reconstitute their origin and evolution by performing a broad morphological survey of microvilli in animals and their unicellular relatives, coupled with a bioinformatic study of the phylogenetic distribution of the main microvillar ...

Developmental and genomic insight into the origin of the tardigrade body plan
Evolution &Development, Volume 26, Issue 4, July 2024.Three hypotheses for the homology of tardigrade segments to segments of other panarthropods. H, tardigrade head; T1‐T4, tardigrade trunk segment 1–trunk segment 4. Abstract Tardigrada is an ancient lineage of miniaturized animals. As an outgroup of the well‐studied Arthropoda and Onychophora, studies of tardigrades hold the potential to reveal ...

Ecdysis in a stem-group euarthropod from the early Cambrian of China
Scientific Reports, 2019 Moulting is a fundamental component of the ecdysozoan life cycle, but the fossil record of this strategy is susceptible to preservation biases, making evidence of ecdysis in soft-bodied organisms extremely rare. Here, we report an exceptional specimen of

From parasite genomes to one healthy world: Are we having fun yet? [PDF]
, 2009 In 1990, the Human Genome Sequencing Project was established. This laid the ground work for an explosion of sequence data that has since followed. As a result of this effort, the first complete genome of an animal, Caenorhabditis elegans was published in

Maternal age effects on offspring lifespan and reproduction vary within a species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.We compared maternal age effects among four strains of rotifers in the Brachionus plicatilis species complex. For each strain, we measured lifespan, reproductive schedule, and lifetime reproductive output of offspring produced by young, middle‐aged, and old mothers.
