Diet and mitonuclear haplotype interactions affect growth rate in a slime mould. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Three‐way interactions between mitochondrial, nuclear haplotypes and dietary P:C ratios affected the slime mould's surface area of growth but not biomass. Our findings have broad implications for our understanding of the effect of mitonuclear interactions on trait expression across diverse eukaryotic lineages.

Applicability of Redirecting Artemisinins for New Targets
Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Repurposing of drugs has great practical appeal. However, a systematic approach is essential. Here, artemisinins (ARTS) are used to illustrate some considerations that are critical in this process. Several mechanisms of action are suggested for ARTS, among which only a few are successfully examined in vivo, mainly the induction of oxidant stress and ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2188-2209, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Multicellularity evolved multiple times in the history of life, with most reviewers agreeing that it appeared at least 20 times in eukaryotes. However, a specific list of multicellular eukaryotes with clear criteria for inclusion has not yet been published.

On the evolution of epigenetics via exaptation: A developmental systems perspective
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1529, Issue 1, Page 21-32, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Evolution and development are interrelated processes influenced by genomic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Epigenetic processes serve critical roles in development and operate as intermediaries that connect the genome to the rest of the world. Therefore, it is of interest to consider the evolution of epigenetic processes.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 6924-6939, November 2021., 2021 Summary Nitric oxide (NO) is a signalling molecule in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. NO levels transiently boost upon induction of conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans. Only one pathway for NO synthesis involving nitrate reductase has been reported in filamentous fungi so far, but this does not satisfy all the NO produced in fungal cells. Here we

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 68, Issue 6, November/December 2021., 2021 Abstract The Cutosea represent a deep‐branching lineage within the phylum Amoebozoa that is still relatively poorly explored. Currently, there are four cutosean representatives known – the monotypic genera Armaparvus, Idionectes, Sapocribrum, and Squamamoeba – with marked genetic distances. Idionectes vortex is the deepest‐branching species and differs

Diversity of Myxomycetes in arid zones of Peru part II: the cactus belt and transition zones
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2019 The results obtained from a second survey for Myxomycetes in the arid areas of Peru are reported. A total of 37 localities from the cactus belt (‘cardonal’), between 1500 and 3000 m a.s.l., were sampled over six years.
