Genomics of Caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) Species Associated With Terrestrial Habitats
Species of Limnephilidae (tube case making caddisflies (Trichoptera)) occur across a wide range of habitats, from cold headwater streams to stagnant pools to even terrestrial environments. We present high‐quality genome assemblies and annotations from two species that are associated with terrestrial environments: Enoicyla pusilla (Burmeister, 1839) and

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

Neuronal background of positioning of the posterior tentacles in the snail Helix pomatia [PDF]
The location of cerebral neurons innervating the three recently described flexor muscles involved in the orientation of the posterior tentacles as well as their innervation patterns were investigated, applying parallel retrograde Co- and Ni-lysine as ...

Impairment of context memory by β-amyloid peptide in terrestrial snail
We examined influence of the β-amyloid peptide (25-35) neurotoxic fragment (βAP) on Helix lucorum food-aversion learning. Testing with aversively conditioned carrot showed that 2, 5, and 14 days after training the βAP-injected group ...
