A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light-Sensitive R-Opsin. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Imprecision in Vision: Lessons From Neural Circuits in the Fly. [PDF]
BioessaysVisual systems are considered regular, retinotopic structures. Here, we summarize findings, including evidence from recent connectomes, that demonstrate cellular and synaptic heterogeneity in the Drosophila visual system —from regional specialization and stochastic photoreceptor patterns to heterogeneous synaptic connectivity.

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Marine gastrotrichs inhabit sediments with limited available light, yet evidence suggests that photoreceptor organs are present throughout the phylum Gastrotricha. Here, we confirm this proposition with ultrastructural descriptions of photoreceptive organs in two species of Xenotrichulidae (Order Chaetonotida) that lack pigmented ocelli ...

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 ...

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 1060-1068, October 2026.ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in water and wastewater treatment, particularly in advanced oxidation processes that aid in the degradation of compounds and microbial disinfection. Despite concerns about potential environmental contamination, its impact on freshwater ecosystems remains inadequately studied.

From Plants to Animals: Cross‐Kingdom Infection by Fungal Phytopathogens
Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi exhibit significant ecological diversity that is under pressure from climate change, yet their relevance to both human and ecosystem health remains underexplored within the One Health framework. Several phytopathogenic lineages have demonstrated the ability to infect vertebrate hosts.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 6, Page 475-486, September 2026.Classical approaches for coloration analysis are limited by human low‐resolution phenotyping and genetic analysis. Artificial intelligence allows us to find genes beyond the tip of the iceberg that explain color and pattern diversity in nature. ABSTRACT Pigmentation has long served as a powerful system for exploring gene–trait relationships, yet much ...

Twisting the End Game: How Telomere Chromatin Modifications Shape Telomere Maintenance
Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 9, September 2026.Chromatin modifications on telomeres are linked to the mode of telomere DNA replication. A coupled feedforward loop model is proposed based on these to lock the ALT cancer cells in this alternative mode of telomere replication. ABSTRACT Cell division inevitably shortens telomeric DNA owing to the end‐replication problem.
