Covariation of multiple morphological traits and modularity have been widely studied in the field of evolutionary developmental biology. Subunits of a morphological structure can evolve separately from each other in a modular fashion. The a...
Adhesive force and endurance of the pelvic sucker across different modes of waterfall-climbing in gobiid fishes: Contrasting climbing mechanisms share aspects of ontogenetic change [0.03%]

Waterfall-climbing gobiids from oceanic islands use a suction-based adhesive mechanism formed by fused pelvic fins (pelvic sucker) and exhibit rock-climbing behavior during upstream migration. Although adhesion is a common feature of locomo...

Functional and structural change of corpus luteum through the cascade of several genes in the ovary leads to ovulation and pregnancy. In most mammals, the absence of pregnancy leads to the disintegration of the corpus luteum. In the ovary o...

The mouflon (Ovis gmelini ophion) is the largest wild terrestrial mammal of Cyprus. Regarded as the local flagship species, its population range is limited to the mountainous Paphos Forest and adjacent areas including part of Troodos Nation...
Neuroepithelial cells (NECs) and mucous cells express a variety of neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter receptors in the gill and respiratory air-sac of the catfish Heteropneustes fossilis (Siluriformes, Heteropneustidae): a possible role in local immune defence [0.03%]
异RLF须鯰(鲤形目,异RLF须鯰科)鱼鳃和呼吸空气囊的神经上皮细胞(NECs)和粘液细胞表达多种神经递质和神经递质受体:在局部免疫防御中的可能作用

Heteropneustes fossilis is an air-breathing teleost inhabiting environments with very poor O2 conditions, and so it has evolved to cope with hypoxia. In the gills and respiratory air-sac, the sites for O2 sensing and the response to hypoxia...
