Interspecific comparisons of anuran embryonic epidermal landscapes and energetic trade‐offs in response to changes in salinity

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Freshwater salinization is an emerging stressor in amphibian populations, and embryonic stages are most vulnerable. To better understand the variation in embryonic osmoregulation, we challenged embryos of two phylogenetically diverse anuran species, Xenopus laevis and Lithobates (Rana) sylvaticus, along a gradient of non‐lethal ...

Dynamic expression of lamin B1 during adult neurogenesis in the vertebrate brain

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In mammals, specific brain regions such as the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus and the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles harbor adult neural stem/progenitor cells (ANSPCs) that give rise to new neurons and contribute to structural and functional brain plasticity.

Ontogeny of RSPO1, FOXL2, and RUNX1 during ovarian differentiation in the marsupial tammar wallaby

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background RSPO1 and FOXL2 are female sex‐determining genes involved in the differentiation and organization of the ovary in some eutherian mammals. Mutations or loss of function of these genes are associated with partial to full sex reversal in mice, humans, and goats.

Single‐cell sequencing reveals potential novel insights into appendage‐patterning and joint‐development in a spider

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Jointed appendages represent one of the key innovations of arthropods, and thus understanding the development and evolution of these structures is important for the understanding of the evolutionary success of Arthropoda. In this paper, we analyze a cell cluster that was identified in a previous single‐cell sequencing (SCS ...

Unraveling the role of environmental and anthropogenic drivers in shaping global patterns in mammal diversity

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Patterns in functional and phylogenetic diversity reflect ecological and evolutionary relationships among taxa, and thus can offer key insights into the mechanisms underlying species distributions. However, disentangling the relative influence of proximate environmental drivers versus biogeographic evolutionary history can be a challenge.

Functional and phylogenetic convergence of winter and breeding bird communities in the northeastern US

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Around the world, ecological communities are becoming more similar to one another in a process known as biotic homogenization – an increase in similarity among communities over time. While biotic homogenization has been widely studied among spatial communities, very little attention has been paid to beta diversity between seasonal communities ...

Evolutionary trajectories of multiple defense traits across phylogenetic and geographic scales in Vitis

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The processes driving defense trait correlations may vary within and between species based on ecological or environmental contexts. However, most studies of plant defense theory fail to address this potential for shifts in trait correlations across scales.

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.
