Virtual dissection of Aedes aegypti mosquito using phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, in‐line phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography was used to study the morphology of adult Aedes aegypti. These specimens are vectors of several arboviruses, causing dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever. The morphological details of this insect species are still incomplete and insufficient.

Hybridization and gene expression: Beyond differentially expressed genes
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Gene expression has a key role in reproductive isolation, and studies of hybrid gene expression have identified mechanisms causing hybrid sterility. Here, we review the evidence for altered gene expression following hybridization and outline the mechanisms shown to contribute to altered gene expression in hybrids. Transgressive gene expression,

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Species lacking distinct secondary sex characteristics, such as differences in size or morphology, are often thought to experience lower levels of sex‐specific selection in comparison to highly sexually dimorphic organisms. However, monomorphism in classic visible traits could be a result of genetic or physiological constraints that prevent ...

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of the European anchovy has expanded in the northern part of its range in the Northeast Atlantic in recent decades. However, whether this results from a northward range shift of southern conspecifics or the expansion of a local northern population is unknown. Using for the first time whole‐genome sequencing, we explore

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Approximately, 40% of earthworm species can reproduce by parthenogenesis. This is the case for the cosmopolitan species, Aporrectodea trapezoides, although sexual forms have been described sporadically. We analyse the genotypes and microbiomes of 30 individuals from four localities where both forms appear in order to understand the ...

Smooth Muscle Mechanosensitivity Generates and Maintains Pressure Gradients Across the Intestine
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.Mechanosensitivity of the smooth muscle induces a positive‐feedback loop that spontaneously generates pressure gradients across gut segments and stabilizes initially applied pressure gradients. It can act jointly or compete with the pressure gradient induced by directional peristaltic waves.
