The large number of ion channels found in all nervous systems poses fundamental
questions concerning how the characteristic intrinsic properties of single neurons are …

Venn diagrams are widely used tools for graphical depiction of the unions, intersections and
distinctions among multiple datasets, and a large number of programs have been developed …

As important aquaculture species worldwide, shrimps and crabs are thermophilic animals
with a feeble thermoregulation ability. Changes in environmental factors are the main …

Biological neurons show significant cell-to-cell variability but have the striking ability to
maintain their key firing properties in the face of unpredictable perturbations and stochastic …

The infraorder Anomura consists of a morphologically and ecologically heterogeneous
group of decapod crustaceans, and has attracted interest from taxonomists for decades …

The comprehensive assessment of the long-term impacts of constant exposure to pollutants
on wildlife populations remains a relatively unexplored area of ecological risk assessment …

Temperature affects the conductances and kinetics of the ionic channels that underlie
neuronal activity. Each membrane conductance has a different characteristic temperature …

The spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, has two classes of chemosensilla representing
“olfaction” and “distributed chemoreception,” as is typical for decapod crustaceans. Olfactory …

Degeneracy is defined as multiple sets of solutions that can produce very similar system
performance. Degeneracy is seen across phylogenetic scales, in all kinds of organisms. In …

Highlights•Neurons express degenerate sets of ion channels that overlap functionally.•
Coregulation of degenerate channels enables circuit properties to be tightly tuned without …
