Frizzled3 Expression and Colony Development in Hydractiniid Hydrozoans
(Wiley, 2020-07-10)Hydractiniid hydrozoan colonies are comprised of individual polyps connected by tube‐like stolons or a sheet‐like mat. Mat and stolons function to integrate the colony through continuous epithelia and shared gastrovascular ... -
Google Health Trends performance reflecting dengue incidence for the Brazilian states
(BMC, 2020-03-26)Background Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne infection transmitted by Aedes aegypti and mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Since its re-introduction in 1986, Brazil has become a hotspot for dengue ... -
Symbionts as Filters of Plant Colonization of Islands: Tests of Expected Patterns and Environmental Consequences in the Galapagos
(MDPI, 2020-01-07)The establishments of new organisms that arrive naturally or with anthropogenic assistance depend primarily on local conditions, including biotic interactions. We hypothesized that plants that rely on fungal symbionts are ... -
Cassiosomes are stinging-cell structures in the mucus of the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana
(Nature Research, 2020-02-03)Snorkelers in mangrove forest waters inhabited by the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana report discomfort due to a sensation known as stinging water, the cause of which is unknown. Using a combination of histology, ... -
Filamentous cyanobacteria preserved in masses of fungal hyphae from the Triassic of Antarctica
(PeerJ, 2020-03-02)Permineralized peat from the central Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica has provided a wealth of information on plant and fungal diversity in Middle Triassic high-latitude forest paleoecosystems; however, there are no ... -
Improving sustainable use of genetic resources in biodiversity archives
(PeerJ, 2020-02-13)Tissue sample databases housed in biodiversity archives represent a vast trove of genetic resources, and these tissues are often destructively subsampled and provided to researchers for DNA extractions and subsequent ... -
A new species of Astreptolabis in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar, with the discovery of the first male of Astreptolabidinae (Dermaptera)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020-02-12)A new species of one of the basal families among extant Dermaptera, Pygidicranidae, is described from mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar based on two females and a male. Astreptolabis laevissp. nov., belongs to the extinct ... -
Hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila virilis results in clusters of mitotic recombination and loss-of-heterozygosity but leaves meiotic recombination unaltered
(BMC, 2020-02-15)Background Transposable elements (TEs) are endogenous mutagens and their harmful effects are especially evident in syndromes of hybrid dysgenesis. In Drosophila virilis, hybrid dysgenesis is a syndrome of incomplete gonadal ... -
Helianthus maximiliani and species fine‐scale spatial pattern affect diversity interactions in reconstructed tallgrass prairies
(Wiley Open Access, 2019-10-09)1. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function analyses aim to explain how individual species and their interactions affect ecosystem function. With this study, we asked in what ways do species interact, are these interactions ... -
Morphometric analysis of fossil bumble bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Bombini) reveals their taxonomic affinities
(Pensoft Publishers, 2019-11-21)Bumble bees (Bombus spp.) are a widespread corbiculate lineage (Apinae: Corbiculata: Bombini), mostly found among temperate and alpine ecosystems. Approximately 260 species have been recognized and grouped recently into a ... -
A direct association between amber and dinosaur remains provides paleoecological insights
(Nature Research, 2019-11-29)Hadrosaurian dinosaurs were abundant in the Late Cretaceous of North America, but their habitats remain poorly understood. Cretaceous amber is also relatively abundant, yet it is seldom found in direct stratigraphic ... -
Expansion of a single transposable element family is associated with genome-size increase and radiation in the genus Hydra
(Nature Research, 2019-11-12)Transposable elements are one of the major contributors to genome-size differences in metazoans. Despite this, relatively little is known about the evolutionary patterns of element expansions and the element families ... -
A mid-Cretaceous enantiornithine foot and tail feather preserved in Burmese amber
(Nature Research, 2019-10-29)Since the first skeletal remains of avians preserved in amber were described in 2016, new avian remains trapped in Cretaceous-age Burmese amber continue to be uncovered, revealing a diversity of skeletal and feather ... -
Direct evidence for eudicot pollen-feeding in a Cretaceous stinging wasp (Angiospermae; Hymenoptera, Aculeata) preserved in Burmese amber
(Nature Research, 2019-11-07)Angiosperms and their insect pollinators form a foundational symbiosis, evidence for which from the Cretaceous is mostly indirect, based on fossils of insect taxa that today are anthophilous, and of fossil insects and ...
