This article reviews the morphogenesis, morphology, histology, ultrastructure, and structural–
functional relationships of the hepatopancreas, the main metabolic organ of the Decapoda …

A fundamental question in biology is whether phenotypes can be predicted by ecological or
genomic rules. At least five cases of convergent evolution of the crab‐like body plan (with a …

In recent years, bumblebees have become a prominent insect model organism for a variety
of biological disciplines, particularly to investigate learning behaviors as well as visual …

The tobacco hornworm is used extensively as a model system for ecotoxicology,
immunology and gut physiology. Here, we established a micro-computed tomography …

Considering the potential of hydrogels to mimic the cellular microenvironment, methacryloyl
gelatin (GelMA) and methacryloyl mucin (MuMA) were selected and compared as …

Crustacean larvae have served as distinguished models in the field of Ecological
Developmental Biology (“EcoDevo”) for many decades, a discipline that examines how …

Building 3D electrospun macrostructures and monitoring the biological activities inside them
are challenging. In this study, 3D fibrous polycaprolactone (PCL) macrostructures were …

The digestive system structure in pre-zoea and zoea I larvae of the red king crab
Paralithodes camtschaticus has been examined. During this development period, the …

Spider brain and central nervous system (CNS) have remained unexplored, due in part to
the difficulty of observing these organs, usually only possible through histological …

BACKGROUND Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a volatile organic compound with a potent
insecticidal activity to the stored‐grain pest Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, which severely …
