Syncrip/hnRNP Q is required for activity-induced Msp300/Nesprin-1 expression and new synapse formation. [PDF]
, 2019 Memory and learning involve activity-driven expression of proteins and cytoskeletal reorganization at new synapses, requiring posttranscriptional regulation of localized mRNA a long distance from corresponding nuclei.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

Shaped by context: Evolutionary trajectories of desiccation tolerance in land plants
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Desiccation tolerance (DT), the ability to survive near‐complete cellular dehydration, is widespread in diaspores but rare in the vegetative tissues of land plants. The patchy and punctuated phylogenetic distribution of vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) suggests that the trait is both ancient and recurrent, yet the evolutionary ...

THE ART OF WAR: PATTERNS AND MECHANISMS UNDERLYING PREDATOR-INDUCED PLASTICITY OF AMPHIBIANS [PDF]
, 2013 Organisms often employ phenotypic plasticity as a strategy to cope with variable environments. This is particularly true of predation threats, wherein prey induce defenses to reduce detection or capture by predators.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Developmental and Transcriptomic Responses in Sea Urchin Larvae to an Urban‐Associated Pollutant
Ecology and EvolutionUrban environments provide a unique opportunity to investigate the impacts of novel stressors on organismal performance. Marine intertidal zones exist at the transition from sea to land, where they are exposed to a unique suite of stressors, including ...
