Comparative analysis of septic injury-inducible genes in phylogenetically distant model organisms of regeneration and stem cell research, the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea and the cnidarian Hydra vulgaris [0.03%]
远离亲缘关系的再生和干细胞研究模式生物——地中海涡虫（Schmidtea meditteranea）与普通水母（Hydra vulgaris）中败血症损伤诱导基因的比较分析

Boran Altincicek
Background: The planarian Schmidtea mediterranea and the cnidarian Hydra vulgaris have emerged as valuable model organisms in regeneration and stem cell research because of their prominent ability to regenerate a complete...
Non-systemic metamorphosis in male millipede appendages: long delayed, reversible effect of an early localized positional marker? [0.03%]
雄千足纲动物附肢的非系统性变态：早期局部位置标记长时间延迟和可逆的作用？
Leandro Drago,Giuseppe Fusco,Alessandro Minelli
Leandro Drago
Background: The development of specialized appendages involved in sperm transfer in the males of julid millipedes is an extreme case of specialized, complex structures differentiating in a very advanced phase of post-embr...
Long- term effects of previous experience determine nutrient discrimination abilities in birds [0.03%]
长期的经验影响鸟类的营养鉴别能力
H Martin Schaefer,Kathrin Spitzer,Franz Bairlein
H Martin Schaefer
Background: Foraging behaviour is an essential ecological process linking different trophic levels. A central assumption of foraging theory is that food selection maximises the fitness of the consumer. It remains unknown,...
First evidence for postzygotic reproductive isolation between two populations of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) within Lake Constance [0.03%]
欧洲鲈鱼（Perca fluviatilis L.）在康斯坦茨湖两个种群之间产生后合子生殖隔离的第一个证据
Jasminca Behrmann-Godel,Gabriele Gerlach
Jasminca Behrmann-Godel
Background: The evolution of reproductive traits, such as hybrid incompatibility (postzygotic isolation) and species recognition (prezygotic isolation), have shown their key role in speciation. Theoretical modeling has re...
A cuckoo in wolves' clothing? Chemical mimicry in a specialized cuckoo wasp of the European beewolf (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae and Crabronidae) [0.03%]
鸠占鹊巢？欧洲蜜蜂虎甲的拟态寄生（膜翅目，金小蜂科和胡蜂科）
Erhard Strohm,Johannes Kroiss,Gudrun Herzner et al.
Erhard Strohm et al.
Background: Host-parasite interactions are among the most important biotic relationships. Host species should evolve mechanisms to detect their enemies and employ appropriate counterstrategies. Parasites, in turn, should ...
Muscle formation during embryogenesis of the polychaete Ophryotrocha diadema (Dorvilleidae) - new insights into annelid muscle patterns [0.03%]
螠虫动物Ophryotrochadiadema胚后发育中的肌肉形成：环节动物的新的肌节模式见解
Annette Bergter,John L Brubacher,Achim Paululat
Annette Bergter
Background: The standard textbook information that annelid musculature consists of oligochaete-like outer circular and inner longitudinal muscle-layers has recently been called into question by observations of a variety o...
Genomic and gene regulatory signatures of cryptozoic adaptation: Loss of blue sensitive photoreceptors through expansion of long wavelength-opsin expression in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum [0.03%]
暗适应的基因组和基因调控特征：红面粉甲虫(Tribolium castaneum)通过长波长视蛋白表达扩张失去对蓝色敏感的光受体
Magdalena Jackowska,Riyue Bao,Zhenyi Liu et al.
Magdalena Jackowska et al.
Background: Recent genome sequence analysis in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum indicated that this highly crepuscular animal encodes only two single opsin paralogs: a UV-opsin and a long wavelength (LW)-opsin; ho...
Morphometric characterisation of wing feathers of the barn owl Tyto alba pratincola and the pigeon Columba livia [0.03%]
球茎仓鸮Tyto alba pratincola和家鸽Columba livia飞羽的形态学特征研究
Thomas Bachmann,Stephan Klän,Werner Baumgartner et al.
Thomas Bachmann et al.
Background: Owls are known for their silent flight. Even though there is some information available on the mechanisms that lead to a reduction of noise emission, neither the morphological basis, nor the biological mechani...

Background: The retention of ancestral juvenile characters by adult stages of descendants is called paedomorphosis. However, this process can mislead phylogenetic analyses based on morphological data, even in combination ...
Redouan Bshary,Rui F Oliveira,Tânia Sf Oliveira et al.
Redouan Bshary et al.
Background: Marine cleaning interactions in which cleaner fish or shrimps remove parasites from visiting 'client' reef fish are a textbook example of mutualism. However, there is yet no conclusive evidence that cleaning o...
