Detecting danger is key to the survival and success of all species. Animal nervous and immune systems cooperate to optimize danger detection. Preceding studies have highlighted the benefits of ...

In short, they provide new insights into the molecular networks, cellular behaviors, and developmental processes that underpin the diversification of tunicates and their evolution in the context of ...

The study provides a new perspective on the evolution of FGF subfamilies in the chordate group, with massive losses and duplications of ancestral gene families originating at the base of the ...

Some sea slugs sequester chloroplasts from algal food in their intestinal cells and photosynthesize for months. This phenomenon, kleptoplasty, poses a question of how the chloroplast retains its ...
