Archaeometry, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 299-318, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Depositional and erosional processes, subsidence and sea‐level changes have strongly modified the coastal landscape of northern Adriatic lagoons. Such rapid transformations have induced significant consequences on human settlements and, thus, on the archaeological visibility of the area, still largely unexplored.

Sex‐specific paternal age effects on offspring quality in Drosophila melanogaster
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 720-729, April 2023., 2023 We explored the effect of paternal age on offspring quality using Drosophila melanogaster. Older fathers produced heavier, higher quality offspring, particularly daughters. However, we did not detect any influence of paternal age on the ratio of offspring sexes.

Marine animal evolutionary developmental biology—Advances through technology development
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 580-588, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Evolutionary developmental biology, the interdisciplinary effort of illuminating the conserved similarities and differences during animal development across all phylogenetic clades, has gained renewed interest in the past decades. As technology (immunohistochemistry, next‐generation sequencing, advanced imaging, and computational resources ...

Optimized protocols for RNA interference in Macrostomum lignano
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 Abstract Macrostomum lignano, a marine free-living flatworm, has emerged as a potent invertebrate model in developmental biology for studying stem cells, germline, and regeneration processes. In recent years, many tools have been developed to manipulate this worm and to facilitate genetic modification.

Nutritional assessment models for diabetes and aging
Food Frontiers, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 689-705, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Diabetes is a chronic disease, and its complexity and its various complications complicate studies in diabetes management. Aging is one of the main risk factors for diabetes, and elderly are a high‐risk group for developing the disease. In recent years, increasing evidence has revealed the underlying molecular basis for aging diabetes and its ...

Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 12, Page 3054-3066, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Gene repertoire turnover is a characteristic of genome evolution. However, we lack well‐replicated analyses of presence/absence patterns associated with different selection contexts. Here, we study ∼100 transcriptome assemblies across Macrostomum, a genus of simultaneously hermaphroditic flatworms exhibiting multiple convergent shifts in ...

Evolution of sex allocation plasticity in a hermaphroditic flatworm genus
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 817-830, June 2022., 2022 Interspecific variation in both sex allocation and sex allocation plasticity in the hermaphroditic flatworm genus Macrostomum, including among closely related species, suggests that both sex allocation and sex allocation plasticity are evolutionarily labile. Moreover, self‐fertilization, but not mating strategy, predicts the evolution of sex allocation

Frequent origins of traumatic insemination involve convergent shifts in sperm and genital morphology
Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 63-82, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Traumatic insemination is a mating behavior during which the (sperm) donor uses a traumatic intromittent organ to inject an ejaculate through the epidermis of the (sperm) recipient, thereby frequently circumventing the female genitalia. Traumatic insemination occurs widely across animals, but the frequency of its evolution, the intermediate ...

A pan‐metazoan concept for adult stem cells: the wobbling Penrose landscape
Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 299-325, February 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Adult stem cells (ASCs) in vertebrates and model invertebrates (e.g. Drosophila melanogaster) are typically long‐lived, lineage‐restricted, clonogenic and quiescent cells with somatic descendants and tissue/organ‐restricted activities.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 18, Page 12285-12293, September 2021., 2021 Sexual contact commonly occurs among insects (Eberhard, 1994). However, descriptions of precopulatory oral sexual contact in invertebrates remain rare and the evidence for an evolutionary function of precopulatory oral sexual contact is still lacking.
