Moult-Induced Changes in Gut Microbiota of African Penguins (Spheniscus demersus) [PDF]
AnimalsThe gut microbiota of seabirds can undergo shifts during the moulting period due to fasting. Understanding the characteristics of gut microbiota in African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) throughout moulting is meaningful for the conservation and ...

Seasonal coat-colour moulting phenology of snowshoe hares in a Yukon boreal forest undergoing climate change [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceClimate change is slowly influencing boreal forest ecosystems, with rising temperatures and altered snow conditions driving phenological shifts in many plant and animal species.

Moulting in Ordovician dalmanitoid and acastoid trilobites of the Prague Basin. Preliminary observation [PDF]
Geologica Acta, 2005 A review of the supposed moulting positions of the Bohemian Ordovician dalmanitoid and acastoid trilobites is presented. Five main moulting positions are described, but some combinations of these are also widespread.

Halloween genes in panarthropods and the evolution of the early moulting pathway in Ecdysozoa [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Moulting is a characteristic feature of Ecdysozoa—the clade of moulting animals that includes the hyperdiverse arthropods and less speciose groups, such as onychophorans, tardigrades and nematodes.

Moulting behaviour in the trilobite Oryctocephalus indicus (Reed, 1910) from the Cambrian Miaolingian Series (Wuliuan Stage) of Jianhe, South China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The accurate interpretation of trilobite moulting behaviour relies on a comprehensive understanding of their moult configurations, yet the focus has commonly been limited to a brief description of the exuviae, and how differences in moulting behaviour ...

Biological characteristics of a new long-chain fatty acid transport protein 1 from Trichinella spiralis and its participation in lipid metabolism, larval moulting, and development [PDF]
Veterinary ResearchLong-chain fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1) is a member of the fatty acid transporter family. It facilitates transmembrane transport of fatty acids and participates in lipid metabolism.

Animals, 2023 Some phenological events in birds, such as breeding and moulting, are being affected by rising temperatures due to global warming, and many species have undergone temporary changes in these energetically demanding phases that are often separated in time.

Despotic aggression in pre-moulting painted buntings [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Aggression in territorial social systems is easy to interpret because the benefits of territorial defence mostly accrue to the territorial holder. However, in non-territorial systems, high aggression seems puzzling and raises intriguing evolutionary ...

Ammonia Stress Disturbs Moult Signaling in Juvenile Swimming Crab Portunus trituberculatus
Biology, 2023 Ammonia is a significant concern during hatchery culture in brachyuran species, and its accumulation may lead to abortive moulting and large-scale deaths of the early juveniles.

Determination of moulting events in rock lobsters from pleopod clipping. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Rock lobster growth is routinely measured for research to optimise management measures such as size limits and quotas. The process of estimating growth is complicated in crustaceans as growth only occurs when the animal moults.
