How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

A phytochelatin synthase gene in the solitary tunicate Ciona intestinalis
, 2013 The major thiol-containing molecules involved in controlling the level of intracellular ROS in eukaryotes, acting as a nonenzymatic detoxification system, are metallothioneins (MTs), glutathione (GSH) and phytochelatins (PCs).

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Scilla s.l. (Asparagaceae: Scilloideae) represents a notable Mediterranean geophyte radiation, yet genus delimitation in subtribe Hyacinthinae has long suffered from inconsistent and conflicting generic concepts. A limited set of informative morphological characters and recurrent shifts in circumscription have repeatedly hindered progress ...

Tunicate-mimetic nanofibrous hydrogel adhesive with improved wet adhesion
, 2018 The main impediment to medical application of biomaterial-based adhesives is their poor wet adhesion strength due to hydration-induced softening and dissolution. To solve this problem, we mimicked the wound healing process found in tunicates, which use a

Ascidian Tunicate, Botryllus schlosseri (Pallas, 1766) infestation on Seahorse
, 2011 An unusual infection by tunicate ascidians on the trunk part of a seahorse caught by gill netting in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey was observed. The colour, zooid diameter and width of the zooids colony of tunicate was determined.
