The battle between bacterial infection and autophagy in aquatic animals
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.

European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) skin and scale transcriptomes [PDF]
Fish skin and their appendages, the mineralized scales, are important organs for protection and homeostasis, but little is known about their specific transcript or protein repertoire.

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
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]
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 ...

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 ...

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]
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 ...
