Toxic Effects of Bisphenol A on L. variegatus and A. punctulata Sea Urchin Embryos
HydrobiologyBisphenol A, BPA, is a small molecule frequently used in large-scale plastic production. The chemical has garnered a reputation for its association with harmful human health effects, and numerous animal studies have contributed to its classification as ...

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.This study developed an optimized multiplex RT‐MIRA assay for the simultaneous detection of EML4‐ALK variants, achieving single‐copy sensitivity. Unexpectedly, during the development of the reaction system, we discovered a “low‐concentration enhancement effect,” where reducing primer or probe concentrations within a specific range markedly improved ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Transcriptomic identification of starfish neuropeptide precursors yields new insights into neuropeptide evolution [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 Neuropeptides are evolutionarily ancient mediators of neuronal signalling in nervous systems. With recent advances in genomics/transcriptomics, an increasingly wide range of species has become accessible for molecular analysis.

Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde‐preserved zooplankton time series?
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract The recovery of amplifiable DNA from formaldehyde‐fixed (FF) zooplankton samples has long been considered problematic, but advances in degraded‐DNA retrieval have renewed interest in FF samples. To access the information stored in long‐term zooplankton time series, we evaluated methods for extracting amplifiable DNA from community samples ...

Direct, but not indirect, predation‐risk cues deter larval settlement in a scyphozoan jellyfish
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Predators can shape population dynamics before consumption occurs, with prey using chemical information to guide larval settlement. We show that jellyfish larvae (Aurelia coerulea) respond selectively to predation‐risk cues, reducing settlement in response to predator presence and active predation cues, but not to residual cues from previously preyed ...
