Of Frogs & Rhetoric: The Atrazine Wars [PDF]
, 2015 In a scientific dispute over the effects of atrazine on amphibians, chemical industry–funded and publically funded scientists present stunningly contrasting constructions of atrazine\u27s environmental concentrations, persistence, and potential to harm ...

Modern competency‐based teaching of human sexual development
Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract Embryology is an integral part of anatomy and a key subject in basic medical education. The development of the sexual tract, which is closely associated with the formation of the urinary tract and the organs of continence, is particularly complex and relevant for many medical disciplines.

The evolution of insect metamorphosis: a developmental and endocrine view
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2019 Developmental, genetic and endocrine data from diverse taxa provide insight into the evolution of insect metamorphosis. We equate the larva–pupa–adult of the Holometabola to the pronymph–nymph–adult of hemimetabolous insects.

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Insects, 2012 Juvenile hormone (JH) is responsible for controlling many biological processes. In several insect species JH has been implicated as a key regulator of developmental timing, preventing the premature onset of metamorphosis during larval growth periods ...

Developmental Expression of \u3cem\u3eDrop-Dead\u3c/em\u3e is Required for Early Adult Survival and Normal Body Mass in \u3cem\u3eDrosophila melanogaster\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2012 In Drosophila melanogaster, mutations in the gene drop-dead (drd) result in early adult lethality, with flies dying within 2 weeks of eclosion. Additional phenotypes include neurodegeneration, tracheal defects, starvation, reduced body mass, and female ...

Observations of the Habits of \u3ci\u3eLygaeus Kalmii Angustomarginatus\u3c/i\u3e (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) in Southern Michigan [PDF]
, 2017 Lygaeus kalmii Stal (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) is an insect found throughout the eastern United States and Canada. There is extensive taxonomic literature on this insect (Stil, 1874; Townsend, 1887; Parshey, 1919, 1923; Slater and Knopf, 1969), but very ...

The evolution of larvae in temnospondyls and the stepwise origin of amphibian metamorphosis
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical SocietyThe question of what the ancient life cycle of tetrapods was like forms a key component in understanding the origin of land vertebrates. The existence of distinct larval forms, as exemplified by many lissamphibians, and their transformation into adults ...
