Genome analysis of the platypus

open access: yes, 2010
The sequencing of the platypus genome represents a significant milestone in the study of mammalian evolution. The platypus is an egg-laying mammal, a member of the order Monotremata, the most divergent mammalian clade.

Insights into the evolution of mammalian telomerase: Platypus TERT shares similarities with genes of birds and other reptiles and localizes on sex chromosomes

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background The TERT gene encodes the catalytic subunit of the telomerase complex and is responsible for maintaining telomere length. Vertebrate telomerase has been studied in eutherian mammals, fish, and the chicken, but less attention has been paid to ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

The Recovery of Predators Modulates Prey Community Organization Through Concomitant Changes in Aquatic Trophic Networks

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Restoring predator populations can generate cascading effects on their prey by reshaping ecosystem food webs, yet its consequences for prey community organization and multi‐trophic dynamics remain poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate how native predator recovery shapes prey biodiversity, assembly processes, and trophic dependencies, and

Characterization of the Mel1c melatoninergic receptor in platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Melatonin is a neurohormone produced in both animals and plants. It binds at least three G-protein-coupled receptors: MT1 and MT2, and Mel1cGPR. Mammalian GPR50 evolved from the reptilian/avian Mel1c and lost its capacity to bind melatonin in all the ...

Evaluating and Advancing the Use of Shore‐Based Observers for Scientific Sampling and Catch Verification in High‐Volume Fisheries

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 612-629, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Shore‐based observers are increasingly being used in place of at‐sea observers to monitor and sample commercial fisheries catch. However, few evaluations assess whether these programs meet their stated goals or how to optimize them, and industry data are rarely tested for accuracy despite serving as the foundation for catch accounting. Using a

Identification of EchAMP gene in platypus genome.

open access: yes, 2013
(A) Schematic representation of BLAST analysis of echidna EchAMP sequence against platypus genome. The sequences on platypus supercontig that showed homology with the echidna EchAMP were intervened with non-matching sequences and corresponded to exon and

Artificial Intelligence Clustering Approach for Force Mapping Analysis of Polyacrylic Acid (PAA)/Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) Polymer Brushes for Biosensor Applications

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Recognition, Volume 39, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Biocompatibility of a biosensor can be achieved by grafting polymer brushes onto a solid surface. These brushes must be able to attract specific analytes or repel unwanted entities. This is obtained with weak polyelectrolyte polymer brushes that shrink or swell depending on external stimuli. In this study, the conformation of polyacrylic acid (
