Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Molluscan Shells, Spicules, and Gladii Are Evolutionarily Deeply Conserved

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Evolutionarily conserved transcription factor encoding genes and other genes are expressed in the epithelia that give rise to spicules (green) and/or shells (blue) in developmental stages of diverse mollusks, including polyplacophorans, aplacophorans, scaphopods, and cephalopods.

Temporal evolution of plankton and particles distribution across a mesoscale front during the spring bloom

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract The effect of mesoscale features on the distribution of planktonic organisms are well documented. Yet, the interaction between these spatial features and the temporal scale, which can result in sudden increases of the planktonic biomass, is less known and not described at high resolution.

Climate change–induced terrestrial matter runoff may decrease food web production in coastal ecosystems

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is projected to cause elevated precipitation in northern Europe, leading to increased runoff of terrestrial matter to coastal areas. The consequences for food web production and ecosystem function remain unclear. A mesocosm experiment was performed to investigate the impacts of elevated terrestrial matter input, using a natural ...

A new dynamic distribution model for Antarctic krill reveals interactions with their environment, predators, and the commercial fishery in the south Scotia Sea region

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract The management strategy for the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) fishery is being revised. A key aim is to spatially and temporally allocate catches in a manner that minimizes impacts to both the krill stock and dependent predators. This process requires spatial information on the distribution and abundance of krill, yet gaps exist for an ...

Algal food identity affects morphological anti‐predatory defense in Daphnia pulex

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Microcrustaceans of the genus Daphnia have evolved various inducible anti‐predator defenses; however, it is largely underexplored how the bottom‐up factor food quality may affect the extent of these defenses. A well‐studied example of an inducible defense is the deployment of neckteeth in Daphnia pulex in response to infochemicals from ...

Picophytoplankton act as the primary consumers of excess phosphorus after the spring bloom in the eutrophic Baltic Sea

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea has caused an imbalance in the inorganic nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (P) ratio, leaving excess phosphate (PO4) after the phytoplankton spring bloom that terminates after N depletion. Using monitoring data, we demonstrated that the PO4 concentration has continued to increase in the outermost Gulf of Finland ...

In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens) Larva Extracts Against Gram-Negative Bacteria

Buletin Peternakan, 2019
The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of Black soldier fly (BSF) larva extract. The BSF larva was extracted using methanol and then tested for antibacterial activity using agar diffusion method (zone growth inhibition).

Visual Servoed Three-Dimensional Rotation Control in Zebrafish Larva Heart Microinjection System

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2018
Objective: Zebrafish larva heart microinjection is a widely used technique in cardiac disease study. Compared with intensively researched rotation control of spherical or nearly spherical targets with clear structures, such as cells and embryos, 3-D ...
