Ultrafiltration and Fluid Excretion in Echinoids Involves the Axial Organ with Elimination via the Intestine

open access: yesLife
Many animals display nephridial structures for the ultrafiltration of metabolic waste. However, a nephridial equivalent and an excretory system are not generally recognized for echinoderms.

Enigmatic Nodal and Lefty gene repertoire discrepancy: Latent evolutionary history revealed by vertebrate‐wide phylogeny

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Homology in vertebrate body plans is traditionally ascribed to the high‐level conservation of regulatory components within the genetic programs governing them, particularly during the “phylotypic stage.” However, advancements in embryology and molecular phylogeny have unveiled the dynamic nature of gene repertoires responsible for early ...

Plastic‐to‐Treasure: Innovative advances in photo/electro‐catalytic upcycling technologies for commodity chemicals and fuels

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A huge amount of plastic waste is generated yearly. With the aid of photo/electrocatalysis, they can be upcycled to clean fuels and green chemicals, leading to rehabilitation of the environment and sustainability. This review shines a light on the design of photo/electrocatalysts for effective plastic transformation into economically high‐valued ...

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

WISER Deliverable D3.3-2: The importance of invertebrate spatial and temporal variation for ecological status classification for European lakes [PDF]

open access: yes
European lakes are affected by many human induced disturbances. In principle, ecological theories predict that the structure and functioning of benthic invertebrate assemblage (one of the Biological Quality Elements following the Water Framework ...

Multiple scales of biological variability in New Zealand streams : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Stream fish communities in Taranaki, New Zealand, were studied for the patterns and drivers of their spatial ecology. The study was focused on three main themes: a) complementarity between geography and landuse in driving regional distribution patterns ...

Stronger effect of temperature on body growth in cool than in warm populations suggests lack of local adaptation

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Body size is a key functional trait that has declined in many biological communities, partly due to changes in individual growth rates in response to climate warming. However, our understanding of growth responses in natural populations is limited by relatively short time series without large temperature contrasts and unknown levels of adaptation to ...

Macrogenetics Approach Reveals Spatial Trends and Drivers of Mitochondrial Genetic Diversity at Different Biological Organization Levels in Tropical Western Atlantic Decapods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Recent studies explored whether the latitudinal diversity gradient extends to a latitudinal genetic diversity gradient. There is a knowledge gap concerning the genetic diversity distribution across marine invertebrates, and whether the latitudinal ...
