their place in the tree of life In The Invertebrate Tree of Life, Gonzalo Giribet and Gregory …

Many marine animals, ranging from corals to fishes, synchronise reproduction to lunar
cycles. In the annelid Platynereis dumerilii, this timing is orchestrated by an endogenous …

Deep-sea polynoid scale worms endemic to hydrothermal vents have evolved an adaptive
strategy to the chronically hypoxic environment, but its underlying molecular mechanisms …

The intensification of aquaculture has escalated disease outbreaks and overuse of
antibiotics, driving the global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis. Antimicrobial peptides …

Recently, more accessible transcriptomic approaches have provided a new and deeper
understanding of environmental toxicity. The present study focuses on the transcriptomic …

The types of genomic change needed for environmental adaptation are of great interest.
Annelid worms are a large phylum found in a rich diversity of habitats, giving opportunities to …

Oxygen availability is a key factor in the evolution of multicellularity, as larger and more
sophisticated organisms often require mechanisms allowing efficient oxygen delivery to their …

Among animals, two major groups of oxygen-binding proteins are found: proteins that use
iron to bind oxygen (hemoglobins and hemerythrins) and two non-homologous …

Early-diverging land plants such as mosses are known for their outstanding abilities to grow
in various terrestrial habitats, incorporating tremendous structural and physiological …

Predictions for climate change—to lesser and greater extents—reveal a common scenario in
which marine waters are characterized by a deadly trio of stressors: higher temperatures …
