The repeatable opportunity for selection differs between pre‐ and postcopulatory fitness components
Abstract In species with multiple mating, intense sexual selection may occur both before and after copulation. However, comparing the strength of pre‐ and postcopulatory selection is challenging, because (i) postcopulatory processes are generally difficult to observe and (ii) the often‐used opportunity for selection (I) metric contains both ...

Optimized protocols for RNA interference in Macrostomum lignano
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.

knockdown of the putative SFP Mlig‐pro63 resulted in a significantly decreased ‘suck’ propensity of mating partners upon ejaculate receipt, a behaviour by which the worm apparently attempts to remove the received ejaculate. Abstract The seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) transferred to mating partners along with sperm often play crucial roles in mediating ...

The effect of mating on female reproduction across hermaphroditic freshwater snails
Abstract Sexual conflicts often arise between mating partners because each sex tries to maximize its own reproductive success. One major male strategy to influence a partner's resource allocation is the transfer of accessory gland proteins. This has been shown to occur in simultaneous hermaphrodites as well as in organisms with separate sexes. Although

Genotype‐by‐environment interactions for seminal fluid expression and sperm competitive ability
The simultaneously hermaphroditic flatworm Macrostomum lignano often performs a post‐mating suck behaviour thought to remove received ejaculate and thus a potential source of sexual conflict. Two suckless transcripts contributing to donor seminal fluid have been found to inhibit partners from sucking.

Abstract Asbestos has been used extensively in several applications. Once it is known as a dangerous mineral, its usage has been prohibited and its identification and remediation play a very important role from the health safety point of view. Nowadays, deep learning techniques are used in many applications, especially for image analysis.

Salinity stress in the black‐chinned tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron
Abstract Physiological and morphological acclimation capacities of black‐chinned tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron were studied from fish to gill cell level when fish are maintained in freshwater, seawater, and hypersaline conditions. Fish osmoregulatory capacity, gill ionocyte morphology, osmo‐respiratory compromise, O2 consumption rate, branchial ...

Dynamics of seminal fluid production after mating
Abstract Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) play vital roles for optimizing reproductive success in diverse animals. Underlining their significance, SFP production and transfer are highly plastic, e.g., depending on the presence of rivals or mating status of partners. However, surprisingly little is known about replenishing SFPs after mating.
