The Buds of Oscarella lobularis (Porifera, Homoscleromorpha): A New Convenient Model for Sponge Cell and Evolutionary Developmental Biology

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 342, Issue 8, Page 503-528, December 2024.
We describe a technique for triggering asexual reproduction by budding in vitro and have monitored bud development. The natural properties of Oscarella lobularis buds and the technical tools we developed make them a new biological system for getting insights into sponge molecular and cellular processes.

Origin and evolution of microvilli

Biology of the Cell, Volume 116, Issue 11, November 2024.
Microvilli are widespread organelles of animal cells that frequently play a role in sensation and feeding. Ansel et al. reconstitute their origin and evolution by performing a broad morphological survey of microvilli in animals and their unicellular relatives, coupled with a bioinformatic study of the phylogenetic distribution of the main microvillar ...

Comparative multiomics analyses reveal the breed effect on the colonic host–microbe interactions in pig

iMetaOmics, Volume 1, Issue 1, September 2024.
The colon contents of the Jiaxing Black (JXB) and the Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire (DLY) pigs were collected for transcriptomic and metagenomic analyses. By using Weighted Gene Co‐expression Network Analysis and sparse Canonical correlation analysis, we identified the potential interactions between host genes and gut microbes, indicating that host ...

Evolutionary origin of the nervous system from Ctenophora prospective

Evolution &Development, Volume 26, Issue 4, July 2024.
This review discusses the evolutionary origin of the nervous system in light of the latest findings in the neuroscience of Ctenophora, one of the most enigmatic and earliest diverging animal lineages. Abstract Nervous system is one of the key adaptations underlying the evolutionary success of the majority of animal groups. Ctenophores (or comb jellies)

Never ending analysis of a century old evolutionary debate: unringing the urmetazoon bell

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Our understanding of the early evolution of animals will be greatly improved if a final solution can be found to the evolutionary relationships between Porifera, Placozoa, Ctenophora, Cnidaria and Bilateria.

Molecular mechanisms of perilipin protein function in lipid droplet metabolism

FEBS Letters, Volume 598, Issue 10, Page 1170-1198, May 2024.
Lipid droplets (LDs) are important for the storage of energy and lipid components. The perilipin family in mammals includes five proteins (PLIN1 to PLIN5), all of which are abundant on the surface of LDs in different tissues and play a role in LD stability and degradation by lipases.

The homeodomain complement of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi suggests that Ctenophora and Porifera diverged prior to the ParaHoxozoa

EvoDevo, 2010
Background The much-debated phylogenetic relationships of the five early branching metazoan lineages (Bilateria, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, Placozoa and Porifera) are of fundamental importance in piecing together events that occurred early in animal evolution.

Deep‐sea meiofaunal communities in the south‐eastern Levantine basin and their shaping factors – Morphological‐taxonomy‐free metabarcoding approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
The hitherto poorly investigated meiofaunal communities of the south‐eastern part of the Levantine basin were characterized and their relationships with sedimentary and bottom terrain parameters were interpreted. The construction of community composition profiles took an approach that combined metabarcoding with sample reads normalization by abundance.

Early animal evolution: a morphologist's view [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Two hypotheses for the early radiation of the metazoans are vividly discussed in recent phylogenomic studies, the ‘Porifera-first’ hypothesis, which places the poriferans as the sister group of all other metazoans, and the ‘Ctenophora-first’ hypothesis ...
