Missense variants in TMEM17 disrupt its localization and function at the ciliary transition zone, leading to a wide range of ciliopathy phenotypes, from OFD6 and Joubert syndromes to Meckel syndrome. ABSTRACT Ciliopathies are rare genetic disorders characterized by significant genetic and phenotypic variability.

Sex as a modifier of genetic risk for type 1 diabetes
Abstract Sex differences influence the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D), yet most genetic studies have treated sex as a control covariate rather than a dynamic effect modifier. Sex influences immune cell behaviour, including CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation, regulatory T cell stability, B cell autoantibody production, dendritic cell priming and ...

Coconut rhinoceros beetle Oryctes rhinoceros (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) confirmed in the Americas
Abstract In 2022, a suspected incursion of Oryctes rhinoceros (coconut rhinoceros beetle, CRB) was reported in Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit, México, based on damage symptoms observed on coconut palms and photographs of beetles on a social media site. This prompted collaboration with local biologists and land managers, and a survey of the area with the ...

Unexpected diversity of alternative reproductive tactics revealed in Water Rails (Rallus aquaticus)
Monogamy in birds was long considered a general mating system until molecular studies provided evidence of alternative reproductive strategies (ARS), which are now assumed to be present in ~90% of bird species. These ARS or tactics (ART), as we consider them in this study, include extra‐pair copulation, which can lead to extra‐pair paternity or extra ...

Species traits modulate ecological release in island red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae)
We studied the species ability to undergo an ecological release process in the red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae) when colonising species‐depauperate environments, focusing on different aspects of their niche. We have found that the ability to expand their niche is highly dependent on the species trophic strategy, with specialist species being ...
