Induced responses contribute to rapid adaptation of Spirodela polyrhiza to herbivory by Lymnaea stagnalis
Herbivory-induced responses in plants are typical examples of phenotypic plasticity, and their evolution is thought to be driven by herbivory....

Developmental nicotine exposure engenders intergenerational downregulation and aberrant posttranslational modification of cardinal epigenetic factors in the frontal cortices, striata, and hippocampi of adolescent mice
BackgroundMaternal smoking of traditional or electronic cigarettes during pregnancy, which constitutes developmental nicotine exposure (DNE),...

Microfluidics-integrated spaceflight hardware for measuring muscle strength of Caenorhabditis elegans on the International Space Station
Caenorhabditis elegans is a low-cost genetic model that has been flown to the International Space Station to investigate the influence of...

Varroa destructor rearing in laboratory conditions: importance of foundress survival in doubly infested cells and reproduction of laboratory-born females
A considerable part of the knowledge about the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor emerged from rearing protocols in semi-natural or laboratory...

Historic grazing enhances root-foraging plasticity rather than nitrogen absorbability in clonal offspring of Leymus chinensis
AimsPlants with a history of overgrazing show trait-mediated legacy effects. These legacy effects strongly influence the growth dynamics and stress...

Reproductive chemical database: a curated database of chemicals that modulate protein targets regulating important reproductive biological processes
Recent studies have shifted the spotlight from adult disease to gametogenesis and embryo developmental events, and these are greatly affected by...

Rapid adaptation of a rotifer prey population to non-consumptive predation pressures
To test the hypothesis that non-consumptive predation pressures favor genotypes that have higher equilibrium densities or mictic ratios, we expose...

Genetic and environmental determinants of bone quality: a cross-sectional analysis of the Hungarian Twin Registry
There is abundant evidence that bone mineral content is highly heritable, while the heritability of bone quality (i.e. trabecular bone score [TBS]...

The ‘migratory connectivity’ concept, and its applicability to insect migrants
Migratory connectivity describes the degree of linkage between different parts of an animal’s migratory range due to the movement trajectories of...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of the rice leaf folder (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis) to heat acclimation
BackgroundThe rice leaf folder Cnaphalocrocis medinalis Güenée is a serious insect pest of rice in Asia. This pest occurs in summer, and it is...

Community structure of the solitary giant pandas is maintained by indirect social connections
BackgroundIndirect interactions between individual solitary mammals, such as the giant panda, are often overlooked because of their nature, yet are...

Trans-generational response of TiO2 nanoparticles in inducing variability and changes in biochemical pool of lentil F2 progenies
Investigations were carried out to analyze the role of anatase nanoparticles in inducing genetic variability in lentils ( Lens culinaris Medik.) for...

Eco-evolutionary interaction between microbiome presence and rapid biofilm evolution determines plant host fitness
Microbiomes are important to the survival and reproduction of their hosts. Although ecological and evolutionary processes can happen simultaneously...
-
An improved transmissibility model to detect transgenerational transmitted environmental effects
BackgroundEvolutionary studies have reported that non-genetic information can be inherited across generations (epigenetic marks, microbiota, cultural...

Female Reproduction: At the Crossroads of Endocrine Disruptors and Epigenetics
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are the exogenous contaminants carrying the ability to disrupt the natural course of hormone action by...

Predicting thresholds for population replacement gene drives
BackgroundThreshold-dependent gene drives (TDGDs) could be used to spread desirable traits through a population, and are likely to be less invasive...

Molecular genetics, neuroimaging outcomes, and structural analyses of novel and recurrent variants of WDR62 gene in two consanguineous Pakistani families with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly
BackgroundAutosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a rare neurodevelopmental and genetically heterogeneous disorder, characterized by small...
