Insect Science, EarlyView.We report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for the aphid Uroleucon formosanum, a serious pest that infests lettuce in eastern Asia. A combination of comparative genomic analyses and RNA‐seq transcriptome profiling suggests that U. formosanum employs integrative mechanisms to cope with host plant‐derived sesquiterpene lactone (STL)

Rowing jellyfish contract to maintain neutral buoyancy
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2018 : Jellyfish are easily carried by ocean currents, yet most studies on jellyfish focus on the kinematics in a quiescent fluid. In this experimental and theoretical study, we film six species of rowing jellyfish in a range of background flow speeds at the ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study investigates the potential adaptive advantages of female‐specific UV‐induced fluorescence in male mate‐choice and predation risk, as fitness costs, using two species of ornate jumping spiders Phintella vittata and Ph. bifurcilinea. Our findings provide empirical evidence of a trade‐off: While fluorescence enhances male mate preference, it ...

The genome of the giant Nomura’s jellyfish sheds light on the early evolution of active predation
BMC Biology, 2019 Background Unique among cnidarians, jellyfish have remarkable morphological and biochemical innovations that allow them to actively hunt in the water column and were some of the first animals to become free-swimming.

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The percomorph fish clade Gobioidei is a suborder that comprises over 2200 species distributed in nearly all aquatic habitats. To understand the genetics underlying their species diversification, we sequenced and annotated the genome of the loach goby, Rhyacichthys aspro, an early‐diverging group, and compared it with nine additional Gobioidei

Jellyfish collagen stimulates maturation of mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells
Journal of Functional Foods, 2015 Jellyfish has recently attracted much attention for various applications, including functional foods due to its abundance of collagen. Jellyfish collagen, extracted from Nemopilema nomurai, was found to stimulate murine macrophage-like J774.1 cells ...

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.This article examines white Australian veterans' views and memories of Vietnamese people in three stages: during the war, after the Fall of Saigon, and upon return to Vietnam. Drawing on original oral histories with veterans who returned to Vietnam, this article shows that veterans' characterisations of Vietnamese were fundamentally about defining ...
