Unpredictable prey motion shapes behavior across time scales
ABSTRACTLocating, tracking and intercepting objects is a fundamental behavior for many organisms. For instance, predators must track and capture erratically moving prey for their survival. Using the echolocating bat as a model species, we investig...

Body mass of streaked shearwaters affects wingbeat during ascending and sea-surface flight
ABSTRACTStreaked shearwaters (Calonectris leucomelas) return to their breeding colonies, which are established in elevated locations on islands, by increasing their flight altitude immediately before landing. We quantitatively analysed the charact...

Ontogenetic shifts in fatty acid metabolic pathways of European lobster ( Homarus gammarus ) revealed by in vivo radiotracing
ABSTRACTLipids are central to crustacean development, yet lobster larvae's capacity to assimilate and modify dietary fatty acids (FAs) during ontogeny remains poorly understood. This study investigated the in vivo capacity for incorporation, ester...

An eyestalk-enriched GATA factor (NdGATA123c) modulates photosensitivity and molting in Neocaridina denticulata sinensis
ABSTRACTGATA proteins are a class of important transcription factors with conserved zinc finger domains, playing essential roles in developmental regulation and tissue homeostasis in animals. However, the molecular characteristics and in-depth fun...

A Drosophila overgrowth model reveals extracellular matrix crosslinking limits cardiovascular scaling
ABSTRACTAppropriate organ scaling is crucial for many basic biological processes. However, very little is known about how invertebrates achieve appropriate scaling. A larval Drosophila model for overgrowth was used here to examine the effects of i...

Chytridiomycosis infection and heat compromise sperm quality in a threatened frog
ABSTRACTEnvironmental change is reshaping wildlife reproduction through increasing temperatures and often leads to the spread of emerging infectious diseases, yet the physiological consequences of managing these stressors remain poorly understood....
