On the biology of two high mountain populations of stoneflies (Plecoptera, Perlodidae) in the southern Iberian Peninsula [PDF]

, 2012
The life history of two species of Perlodidae stoneflies, Perlodes microcephalus (Pictet, 1833) and Isoperla nevada Aubert, 1952, are studied in a high mountain stream of the Sierra Nevada (Granada, Spain). Both species show a univoltine life cycle.

The curious case of the disappearing piRNAs

WIREs RNA, Volume 15, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
piRNAdise lost: piRNAs, a key component of the defense against transposable elements appeared very early in animal evolution. Remarkably however, they have been lost multiple times independently in different lineages (schematically indicated by pale blue dots), and as yet no clear explanation has been uncovered.

A nemertean excitatory peptide/CCHamide regulates ciliary swimming in the larvae of Lineus longissimus

Frontiers in Zoology, 2019
Background The trochozoan excitatory peptide (EP) and its ortholog, the arthropod CCHamide, are neuropeptides that are only investigated in very few animal species. Previous studies on different trochozoan species focused on their physiological effect in

A new horsehair worm, Chordodes formosanus sp. n. (Nematomorpha, Gordiida) from Hierodula mantids of Taiwan and Japan with redescription of a closely related species, Chordodes japonensis

ZooKeys, 2011
A new species of horsehair worm, Chordodes formosanus sp. n., is described and compared to a closely related species, C. japonensis. Although both species possess the same six cuticular structures of areoles on the surface, the significantly longer ...

Water-seeking behavior in worm-infected crickets and reversibility of parasitic manipulation [PDF]

, 2017
One of the most fascinating examples of parasite-induced host manipulation is that of hairworms, first, because they induce a spectacular "suicide” water-seeking behavior in their terrestrial insect hosts and, second, because the emergence of the ...
