Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship

genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

Individual Escape Flight Performance Is Repeatable and Differs Between Long‐Tailed Finch (Poephila acuticauda) Subspecies but Not as Predicted by Asymmetrical Introgression

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We repeatedly tested 158 individual long‐tailed finches, Poephila acuticauda, of two different sub‐species and their hybrids for differences in their flight performances. Several flight performance variables were repeatable across individuals. Contrary to expectations, P. a. hecki individuals did not display superior flight performance to P.

The effect of brumation on memory retention [PDF]

, 2017
Long-term torpor is an adaptive strategy that allows animals to survive harsh winter conditions. However, the impact that prolonged torpor has on cognitive function is poorly understood.

Living at the Interface: Behavioral, Evolutionary and Ecological Insights of Spring Use by Highly Mobile Stygobiont Crustaceans, Troglocaris planinensis (Decapoda: Atyidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study provides evidence that animals considered as strictly linked to subterranean habitats can exhibit behavioral responses to constraints occurring in surface environments. We studied the blind and depigmented shrimp Troglocaris planinensis in the Classical Karst using field and experimental approaches.

Yellow patterns polymorphism of the fire salamander Salamandra salamandra in Poland

Acta Herpetologica, 2018
We analysed variation of dorsal yellow patterns in 2077 individuals that represented 23 populations from the northern parts of the Sudetes and the Carpathian Mountains. We distinguished four types of yellow patterns: spotted (50.1%), spotted-and-striped (

Feuersalamander - Salamandra salamandra

, 2014
Der Feuersalamander (Salamandra salamandra) ist eine von 18 in Sachsen vorkommenden Amphibienarten. Dieser Schwanzlurch kann etwa 20 cm lang werden und ist mit seiner gelben Flecken- oder Streifenzeichnung auf schwarzem Grund unverwechselbar. Diese signalisiert seinen Feinden, dass er nicht genießbar ist, denn auf seiner Haut befinden sich Drüsen, aus ...

Sexual size and shape dimorphism in Salamandra salamandra (Amphibia, Caudata, Salamandridae) from the central Balkans [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2013
Sexual size dimorphism is one of the key evolutionary features that has been studied in many organisms. On the other hand, sexual shape dimorphism has not been examined as well despite being as important as size dimorphism.

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists for the Prevention of New‐Onset Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Placebo‐Controlled Randomized Clinical Trials

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RA) improve outcomes in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction. Whether GLP‐1 RA prevent new‐onset HF in Type 2 diabetes or obesity requires further investigation. Methods We performed an updated meta‐analysis of randomized placebo‐controlled trials (RCT) of treatment ...
