The terrestrial isopod symbiont ‘Candidatus Hepatincola porcellionum’ is a potential nutrient scavenger related to Holosporales symbionts of protists

open access: yesISME Communications, 2023
The order Holosporales (Alphaproteobacteria) encompasses obligate intracellular bacterial symbionts of diverse Eukaryotes. These bacteria have highly streamlined genomes and can have negative fitness effects on the host.

Coevolution of the CDCA7-HELLS ICF-related nucleosome remodeling complex and DNA methyltransferases

open access: yeseLife, 2023
5-Methylcytosine (5mC) and DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are broadly conserved in eukaryotes but are also frequently lost during evolution. The mammalian SNF2 family ATPase HELLS and its plant ortholog DDM1 are critical for maintaining 5mC. Mutations in

Pigment-dispersing factor is present in circadian clock neurons of pea aphids and may mediate photoperiodic signalling to insulin-producing cells

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2023
The neuropeptide pigment-dispersing factor (PDF) plays a pivotal role in the circadian clock of most Ecdysozoa and is additionally involved in the timing of seasonal responses of several photoperiodic species.

The Opisthokonta and the Ecdysozoa may be clades: An update on Philip et al. (2005) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
To test the monophyly of Opisthokonta (animal-fungal clade) and Ecdysozoa (nematode-arthropod clade), Philip et al [Mol. Biol. Evol. 22: 1175–1184 (2005)] used sequence data from 10 eukaryotic genomes (an alveolate, a plant, two ascomycetous ...

EF-hand proteins in onychophorans as compared to tardigrades and other ecdysozoans

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2013
To learn more about the regulation of muscle contraction in the structural and functionally different muscles in Ecdysozoa, we have analysed the four EF-hand proteins calmodulin (CaM), troponin C (TnC), essential myosin light chain (eMLC) and regulatory ...

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 848-868, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Palaeoscolecids from the early Cambrian Guanshan biota, Yunnan Province, China

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Palaeoscolecidomorphs (Palaeoscolecida and Cricocosmiidae) are widespread early Palaeozoic worms crucial to understanding the early evolution of Ecdysozoa. They are well known from the early–middle Cambrian of the Yangtze Platform of South China, but research has disproportionately focused on the well‐known Cambrian Stage 3 Chengjiang biota of

Insights into the microRNA landscape of Rhodnius prolixus, a vector of Chagas disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The growing interest in microRNAs (miRNAs) over recent years has led to their characterization in numerous organisms. However, there is currently a lack of data available on miRNAs from triatomine bugs (Reduviidae: Triatominae), which are the vectors of ...
