Environmental DNA as a Tool for the Preliminary Assessment of Vertebrate Biodiversity: A Case Study from Sicilian Freshwater Ecosystems [PDF]
BiologyFreshwater ecosystems are rapidly losing biodiversity due to anthropogenic and environmental pressures. Considering that many species remain unknown, these systems represent an invaluable reservoir of biodiversity.

Diversity, 2021 This paper reviews current research on the microbial life that surrounds vertebrate embryos. Several clades are believed to develop inside sterile—or near-sterile—embryonic microhabitats, while others thrive within a veritable zoo of microbial life.

FEBS Letters, 2000 Pseudogenes are commonly encountered during investigation of the genomes of a wide range of life forms. This review concentrates on vertebrate, and in particular mammalian, pseudogenes and describes their origin and subsequent evolution. Consideration is also given to pseudogenes that are transcribed and to the unusual group of genes that exist at the ...

De novo synthesis of a sunscreen compound in vertebrates
eLife, 2015 Ultraviolet-protective compounds, such as mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and related gadusols produced by some bacteria, fungi, algae, and marine invertebrates, are critical for the survival of reef-building corals and other marine organisms exposed

Norepinephrine and octopamine: linking stress and immune function across phyla [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2008 In species from three widely divergent phyla (Arthropoda, Mollusca and Chordata) tyrosine derivatives (norepinephrine or octopamine) mediate a response to acute stress.
