Coagulation in Invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Innate Immunity, 2010
In most animals there is a need to quickly prevent the loss of blood or equivalent fluids through inflicted injuries. In invertebrates with an open circulatory system (and sometimes a hydroskeleton as well) these losses may otherwise soon be fatal. Also, there is a need to prevent microbes that have gained access to the body through the wound from ...

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 ...

Influence of flood disturbances and biotic interactions on the microdistribution of stream invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Most living communities form a temporally shifting patchwork of irregularly distributed organisms. Besides many habitat-specific biotic and abiotic environmental conditions, two key drivers are known to shape community structure: abiotic disturbance and ...

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.

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

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.
