CASA in invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yesReproduction, Fertility and Development, 2018
Sperm movement has been described in several phyla of invertebrates. Yet, sperm motility has only been quantified using computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA-Mot) in externally fertilising species (broadcast spawners) of two phyla, molluscs and echinoderms.

Zoology: Invertebrates that Parasitize Invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Autism and mild epilepsy associated with a de novo missense pathogenic variant in the GTPase effector domain of DNM1

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...

New evidence from exceptionally “well-preserved” specimens sheds light on the structure of the ammonite brachial crown

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Ammonite soft body remains are rarely preserved. One of the biggest enigmas is the morphology of the ammonite brachial crown that has, up till now, never been recovered.

First Short-Term Study of the Relationship between Native and Invasive Earthworms in the Zone of Soil Freezing in Western Siberia—Experiments in Mesocosms

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Earthworm invasions often reduce biodiversity and affect the ability of ecosystems to perform ecosystem functions. Over the past few decades, European lumbricid species have spread widely in natural habitats in Western Siberia, without completely ...

Effects of a short-term temperature increase on arthropod communities associated with pastures [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal, 2023
The impact of climate change on islands is expected to cause dramatic consequences on native biodiversity. However, limited data are available for arthropod communities in island agroecosystems.

Growth rates of the giant clam Tridacna maxima (Röding, 1798) reared in cages in the Egyptian Red Sea

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2019
The giant clam, Tridacna maxima were reared in cages in the sea; measurements of the shell's length, height, width and buoyant weight were taken under water to compare the growth rates of different size groups of T. maxima.

The importance of museum collections in determining biodiversity patterns, using a freshwater mussel Unio caffer (Krauss 1848) as an example

open access: yesBothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2019
Background: Two recent distributional maps of the African freshwater mussel Unio caffer (Krauss 1848) in South Africa represented an incomplete picture compared to the records held by the national museums. Objectives: This study is partly in response to
