Analyses of the Dmrt family in a decapod crab, Eriocheir sinensis uncover new facets on the evolution of DM domain genes [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
DM domain genes are a group of transcription factors that are integral to sexual development and its evolution in metazoans. Their functions and regulatory mechanisms are not well understood in Malacostraca (crabs and crayfish) while these sex regulators

Inter-year consistencies and discrepancies on intestinal microbiota for overwintering relict gulls: correlations with food composition and implications for environmental adaptation [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
The gut microbiota of migratory birds is influenced by their food choices, and exploring the potential relationship between diet composition and gut microbiota can help better protect related species. By integrating non-invasive sampling techniques, high-

The ecological role of Pholas dactylus (Mollusca, Bivalvia) empty burrows [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The study of biological rhythms has been widely explored in terrestrial and marine systems. Time-lapse photography can document species behaviour, avoiding observer disturbance, and record abundance and interactions.

Deep learning and attention mechanisms to identify key genes and their implications for the origin of insect wings [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Wings are a key trait innovation in the evolutionary history of insects, and contributes to the largest diversity of animals on the planet. However, we still have an incomplete understanding of the functional changes in genes behind this diversification.

Hidden-break diversity in pancrustacean rRNA profiles [PDF]

PeerJ
Background In the 28S rRNA molecule of many invertebrates, a hidden break splits this large subunit into two noncovalently associated fragments (28Sa and 28Sb), masking 28S in electrophoretic profiles and biasing the standard measurements of RNA quality ...

Diversity and Distribution of the Inland Water Decapods of Sicily (Crustacea, Malacostraca)

Diversity, 2022
The current knowledge of Sicilian inland water decapod malacostracans is scarce and an updated synopsis on species distribution is lacking. Therefore, we reviewed the checklist and recent distribution of Sicilian inland water decapods based on published ...

Phylogenetic analysis of the Malacostraca (Crustacea)

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2001
The Malacostraca comprises about 28 000 species with a broad disparity in morphology, anatomy, embryology, behaviour and ecology. The phylogenetic relationships of the major taxa are still under debate. Is the Leptostraca the sister group of the remaining Malacostraca, or is this taxon more closely related to other Crustacea?
