Development of hypobranchial muscles with special reference to the evolution of the vertebrate neck
Zoological Letters, 2018 Background The extant vertebrates include cyclostomes (lamprey and hagfish) and crown gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates), but there are various anatomical disparities between these two groups. Conspicuous in the gnathostomes is the neck, which occupies the

Morphological responses to feeding in ticks (Ixodes ricinus)
Zoological Letters, 2018 Background Ticks can survive long periods without feeding but, when feeding, ingest large quantities of blood, resulting in a more than 100-fold increase of body volume.

Cell interactome in sarcopenia during aging
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2022 Background The diversity between the muscle cellular interactome of dependent and independent elderly people is based on the interrelationships established between different cellular mechanisms, and alteration of this balance modulates cellular activity ...

Intermittent reproduction, mortality patterns and lifetime breeding frequency of females in a population of the adder (Vipera berus) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Female adders (Vipera berus) are “capital breeders” that exhibit delayed maturity and intermittent reproductive frequency. We studied the attainment of sexual maturity, the initiation of annual breeding in mature females, the energy and mortality costs ...

Influence of incubation temperature on morphology and locomotion performance of Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) hatchlings [PDF]
, 2010 The journey of Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli, 1761)) hatchlings from nest to the sea is a vulnerable life-history stage. Studies have shown that nest incubation temperatures influence hatchling morphology and locomotor performance, which ...

Inner ear morphology in the Atlantic molly Poecilia mexicana [PDF]
, 2011 Fishes show an amazing diversity in hearing abilities, inner ear structures, and otolith morphology. Inner ear morphology, however, has not yet been investigated in detail in any member of the diverse order Cyprinodontiformes.

The functional roles of 3D heterostyly and floral visitors in the reproductive biology of Turnera subulata (Turneroideae: Passifloraceae) [PDF]
, 2020 Heterostyly is a floral polymorphism that reduces conflicts between sexual functions (sexual interference), such as self-pollination in self-incompatible flowers and loss of pollen to incompatible stigmas.

Evolutionary morphology of the lizard chemosensory system
Scientific Reports, 2017 Foraging mode plays a pivotal role in traditional reconstructions of squamate evolution. Transitions between modes are said to spark concerted changes in the morphology, physiology, behaviour, and life history of lizards.
