Exposure, body size, and zooplankton overland dispersal capacity
Abstract The dormant life stages of freshwater zooplankton are generally resistant to environmental exposure, and this facilitates their overland dispersal. However, environmental exposure and overland dispersal are less well studied for the active life stages of freshwater zooplankton.

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Mitonuclear discordance as a confounding factor in the DNA taxonomy of monogonont rotifers
Discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies is being increasingly recognized in animals and may confound DNA-based taxonomy. This is especially relevant for taxa whose microscopic size often challenges any effort to distinguish between ...

Pompholyx mother possesses the rare ability to change the tension on the secreted thread, which alters the proximity of the egg with respect to her body. The two‐headed gland secretes a single, long, electron‐dense thread that traverses the duct and attaches to the egg surface through the cloaca. A set of retractors and protractors muscles connected to

Comparison of qPCR and metabarcoding for environmental DNA surveillance of a freshwater parasite
We sampled 38 freshwater sites on Fort McCoy, Wisconsin and compared qPCR to metabarcoding for eDNA detection of the ectoparasitic gill louse Salmincola edwardsii, an obligate parasite of Salvelinus fishes (chars). We found no evidence to suggest S. edwardsii occupancy or detection probabilities differed between qPCR and metabarcoding.

First ultrastructural description of an apomictic opsiblastic egg in freshwater Gastrotricha
The freshwater gastrotrich Lepidodermella squamata can produce up to three egg types: tachyblastic (fast hatching) parthenogenetic, opsiblastic (slow hatching) parthenogenetic, and plaque‐bearing (potentially sexual and diapause). Here, we provide an ultrastructural description of the opsiblastic egg, which is a single uncleaved ovum surrounded by a ...

γ-Aminobutyric acid receptor type A-associated protein (GABARAP) and its homologs constitute a protein family found in many eukaryotes from yeast to human, and are known to be involved in intracellular membrane trafficking of GABAA receptors and ...
