World's fastest 10 000‐m breakthrough: The XY‐22 well redefines deep‐earth access in the Tarim Basin

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Tarim Basin in northwestern China hosts one of the world's deepest petroleum systems, exemplified by the XY‐22 ultra‐deep well (bottom depth: 11 116 m; ~220°C, ~145 MPa). This study integrates tectonic mapping, geological cross‐sections, ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy, and optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy to characterize ...

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 ...

Identification and differential regulation of microRNAs during thyroid hormone-dependent metamorphosis in Microhyla fissipes

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Anuran metamorphosis, which is obligatorily initiated and sustained by thyroid hormone (TH), is a dramatic example of extensive morphological, biochemical and cellular changes occurring during post-embryonic development.

The evolutionary ecology of metamorphosis [PDF]

, 2019
Almost all animal species undergo metamorphosis, even though empirical data show that this life-history strategy evolved only a few times. Why is metamorphosis so widespread and why has it evolved?

Compensatory responses to food limitation at metamorphosis in a marine invertebrate: is there temperature modulation? [PDF]

, 2020
Under climate change, increased temperatures combined with food limitation may be critical for species with complex life cycles, if high growth rates characterise the larval development.

MIT/TFE family transcription factors, Mitf and Tfec, redundantly promote pigment cell differentiation and retinal epithelium pigmentation in teleosts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transcription factors of the MIT/TFE family—mitfa, mitfb, and tfec—play essential roles in specifying pigment cells derived from neural crest cells in vertebrates. In teleosts, which possess multiple pigment cell types, these factors exhibit partially redundant but largely distinct functions across different pigment lineages.

GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the neural circuit regulating metamorphosis in Ilyanassa obsoleta [PDF]

, 2013
The marine mud snail, Ilyanassa obsoleta, displays a biphasic life cycle. The initial phase consists of weakly swimming larval animals with ciliated feeding structures on the head, the velar lobes.

Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...
