Differential expression of conserved germ line markers and delayed segregation of male and female primordial germ cells in a hermaphrodite, the leech helobdella. [PDF]
, 2013 In sexually reproducing animals, primordial germ cells (PGCs) are often set aside early in embryogenesis, a strategy that minimizes the risk of genomic damage associated with replication and mitosis during the cell cycle.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 17593-17603, December 2021., 2021 In our paper, four events of blood sucking on human by juvenile and adult specimens of Placobdella costata were described. We presented with a new data of juvenile specimens' body form and considered information about the potential role of mammals as hosts and dispersion vector of this leech.

Non‐invasive surveys of mammalian viruses using environmental DNA
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, Page 1941-1952, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) and invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) are used to survey biodiversity non‐invasively to mitigate difficulties in obtaining wildlife samples, particularly in remote areas or for rare species. Recently, eDNA/iDNA were used to monitor known wildlife pathogens; however, most wildlife pathogens are unknown and often ...

Maternal inheritance of twist and analysis of MAPK activation in embryos of the polychaete Annelid Platynereis dumerilii [PDF]
, 2014 In this study, we aimed to identify molecular mechanisms involved in the specification of the 4d (mesentoblast) lineage in Platynereis dumerilii. We employ RT-PCR and in situ hybridization against the Platynereis dumerilii twist homolog (Pdu-twist) to ...

Anthropogenic litter is a novel habitat for aquatic macroinvertebrates in urban rivers
Freshwater Biology, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 524-534, March 2021., 2021 Abstract Anthropogenic litter (solid manufactured waste) is an understudied but pervasive element of river systems worldwide. Its physical structure generally differs from natural substrates, such as gravel and cobbles (hereafter rocks). Consequently, anthropogenic litter could influence ecological communities in urban rivers by providing novel ...

Effect of competitive cues on reproductive morphology and behavioral plasticity in male fruitflies [PDF]
, 2015 Phenotypic plasticity will be favored whenever there are significant fitness benefits of responding to environmental variation. The extent and nature of the plasticity that evolves depends on the rate of environmental fluctuations and the capacity to ...
