Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Adaptation to extreme environments: A review of Antarctic fish physiology
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Having evolved in the chronically cold and thermally stable waters of the Southern Ocean (SO) for millions of years, Antarctic fish possess a suite of physiological specializations that enable them to survive at temperatures near the freezing point of seawater. Adaptations include the evolution of antifreeze proteins, modifications of membrane

An in situ hybridization approach distinguishes M-opsin and L-opsin mRNA.
(A) Alignment of human M-opsin and L-opsin mRNA. Green bar = nucleotide difference. Horizontal pink and blue lines = location of in situ hybridization probes. (B) Alignment of portions of exon 5 from M- and L-opsin.

EvoDevo, 2023 Background Opsins are the primary proteins responsible for light detection in animals. Cnidarians (jellyfish, sea anemones, corals) have diverse visual systems that have evolved in parallel with bilaterians (squid, flies, fish) for hundreds of millions ...

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.The circadian clock and melatonin coordinate homeostasis in many animals, yet their influence on reproduction and neoblast proliferation has only been shown in triclads. This study demonstrates that the early‐branching catenulid Stenostomum virginianum contains photoreceptive refractile bodies, synthesizes endogenous melatonin, and that exogenous ...

Bio-ProtocolOptogenetic stimulation of peripheral motor nerves is a promising technique for modulating neural activity via illumination of light-sensitive ion channels known as opsins. Stimulating muscle activity through this method offers many advantages, such as a

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 The avian retina is composed of different types of photoreceptors responsible for image and non-image forming tasks: the visual photoreceptor cells (cones and rods), the melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photoresponsive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs ...

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.The left panel reports the measured time course data of melatonin concentration in the blood plasma of 17 BL‐Rs and 15 BL‐NRs at baseline, during a two‐hour stay in the dark, during a one‐hour light exposure to blue light, and again in the dark. The right panel shows the magnitude of melatonin concentration after 60 min of exposure to warm white, cool ...

In situ hybridization strategy to visualize M-opsin and L-opsin mRNA.
(A) Identification of HEK293 cells using Hoechst (light gray) in the experiment in Fig 1I and 1J. M-opsin (blue) and L-opsin (pink). Blue arrow indicates a cell expressing M-opsin mRNA only. Pink arrows indicate cells expressing L-opsin mRNA only. Purple
