Breakdown of coevolution between symbiotic bacteria Wolbachia and their filarial hosts [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Wolbachia is an alpha-proteobacterial symbiont widely distributed in arthropods. Since the identification of Wolbachia in certain animal-parasitic nematodes (the Onchocercidae or filariae), the relationship between arthropod and nematode Wolbachia has ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ivermectin sensitivity is an ancient trait affecting all ecdysozoa but shows phylogenetic clustering among sepsid flies [PDF]

, 2014
Avermectins are potent and popular veterinary pharmaceuticals used globally to fight parasites of livestock and humans. By disturbing ion channel transport through the membrane, avermectins are effective against endo- and ectoparasitic round and ...

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 ...

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.

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
