The battle between bacterial infection and autophagy in aquatic animals

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Autophagy is a conserved cellular degradative pathway that has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in the innate immune response to combat infection with a range of pathogenic bacteria via xenophagy.

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Teneurin C-Terminal Associated Peptide (TCAP)-3 Increases Metabolic Activity in Zebrafish

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Teneurin C-terminal associated peptides (TCAP), bioactive peptides located on the C-terminal end of teneurin proteins, have been shown to regulate stress axis functions due to the high conservation between TCAP and corticotropin releasing factor (CRF ...

Peroxisomes in intestinal and gallbladder epithelial cells of the stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus L. (Teleostei) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The occurrence of microbodies in the epithelial cells of the intestine and gallbladder of the stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus L., is described. In the intestine the organelles are predominantly located in the apical and perinuclear zone of the cells ...

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

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
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 ...

Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

A double-label study of efferent projections from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus in goldfish and kelp bass [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The Edinger-Westphal nucleus in goldfish was identified by retrograde labeling from the ciliary ganglion. In the same animals a few neurons near this nucleus (perinuclear Edinger-Westphal neurons) were labeled by a different retrograde tracer injected ...
