Tough adults, frail babies: an analysis of stress sensitivity across early life-history stages of widely introduced marine invertebrates

, 2012
All ontogenetic stages of a life cycle are exposed to environmental conditions so that population persistence depends on the performance of both adults and offspring.

Robinow syndrome DVL1 variants disrupt morphogenesis and appendage formation in a Drosophila disease model

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Robinow syndrome is a rare developmental syndrome caused by variants in genes in Wnt signaling pathways. We previously showed that expression of patient variants in Dishevelled 1 (DVL1) in Drosophila and chicken models disrupts the balance of canonical and non‐canonical Wnt signaling.

Gene expression patterns during the early stages of chemically induced larval metamorphosis and settlement of the coral Acropora millepora. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The morphogenetic transition of motile coral larvae into sessile primary polyps is triggered and genetically programmed upon exposure to environmental biomaterials, such as crustose coralline algae (CCA) and bacterial biofilms.

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Effects of prolactin and somatotropin on growth and metamorphosis of amphibians [PDF]

, 1972
Mammalian prolactin stimulates growth and inhibits metamorphosis of larvae of several species of amphibians. Mammalian somatotropin has little or no effect upon larval growth or metamorphosis unless used in high concentrations.

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Identification of ecdysteroids and ecdysteroidogenic genes in dragonflies and damselflies

Scientific Reports
Ecdysteroids are critical in regulating biological processes such as ecdysis, metamorphosis, embryogenesis, and reproduction in insects. Nevertheless, the ecdysteroid repertoire and expression patterns of their synthesis genes in Odonata (dragonflies and

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

Reply to Maleszka et al.: DNA methylation signals persist across insect metamorphosis. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Previously (1), we demonstrated that the wasp, Nasonia vitripennis, responds to larval diapause with an extended adult lifespan and a slowing of epigenetic aging. We proposed Nasonia as a tractable model for dissecting the causal mechanisms of epigenetic
