Behavioral and physiological–biochemical responses of a polychaete ( Perinereis aibuhitensis ) under severe seawater acidification at different temperatures
ABSTRACTThe intertidal zone experiences significant fluctuations in temperature and pH, posing significant challenges to marine organisms. Perinereis aibuhitensis, a eurythermal and euryhaline polychaete inhabiting estuaries, where pH is often low...

Energy availability influences the dynamics of thermal phenotypic plasticity
ABSTRACTWe tested whether food availability limits phenotypic plasticity in thermal tolerance in the amphipod Echinogammarus marinus. We shifted specimens from 10°C to an acclimation temperature of 20°C, and kept them there for different durations...

How visual information reaches the goldfish Mauthner neuron: from seeing to a fast-start decision in 35 ms
ABSTRACTThe two huge Mauthner neurons (MNs) form the center of the fast-start network in the hindbrain of fish. Their activation initiates a rapid turning maneuver, the so-called C-start, within milliseconds. Here, we recorded intracellularly from...

Diet-induced transgenerational effects on Drosophila dormancy are not mediated by the microbiome
ABSTRACTEnvironmental signals exert influences not only on the current generation, but also extend to subsequent generations, even when these signals no longer persist. These transgenerational effects can be mediated through several mechanisms, in...
