Keratins in Invertebrates [PDF]
Nature, 1950 IF the term ‘keratin’ were applied only to those proteins which contain a high proportion of cystine, which give a keratin-type of X-ray diffraction photograph and which dissolve with ease only in alkaline solutions of reducing agents, then keratins, so far as is known, are confined to the epidermis and epidermal appendages of vertebrates, and are ...

Marine invertebrates and noise [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Within the set of risk factors that compromise the conservation of marine biodiversity, one of the least understood concerns is the noise produced by human operations at sea and from land. Many aspects of how noise and other forms of energy may impact the natural balance of the oceans are still unstudied.

Zoology: Invertebrates that Parasitize Invertebrates [PDF]
Current Biology, 2016 The genome of an orthonectid, a group of highly modified parasitic invertebrates, is drastically reduced and compact, yet it shows the bilaterian gene toolkit. Phylogenetic analyses place the enigmatic orthonectids within Spiralia, although their exact placement remains uncertain.

Deterrent activities in the crude lipophilic fractions of Antarctic benthic organisms: chemical defences against keystone predators [PDF]
Polar Research, 2014 Generalist predation constitutes a driving force for the evolution of chemical defences. In the Antarctic benthos, asteroids and omnivore amphipods are keystone opportunistic predators.

Aggression in invertebrates [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2003 Invertebrates are outstanding model systems for the study of aggression. Recent advances and promising new research approaches are bringing investigators closer to the goal of integrating behavioral findings with those from other disciplines of the neurosciences.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The full mitogenome of an ethanol-preserved museum specimen of Ceramaster japonicus was determined using the NGS Illumina MiSeq platform. The specimen was collected from Tosa Bay, Japan, facing the Pacific Ocean (33.0781 N 134.0601 E), at 700 m depth in ...
