As small ectotherms, whose temperature equilibrates almost instantly with that of their
environment, free-living nematodes rely on their behavior for thermoregulation …

Chordotonal organs are miniature sensory organs present in insects. Chordotonal organs
depend on transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Transient receptor potential vanilloid …

Temperature is a critical environmental cue that controls the development and lifespan of
many animal species; however, mechanisms underlying low-temperature adaptation are …

Animals must sense and acclimatize to environmental temperatures for survival, yet their
thermosensing mechanisms other than transient receptor potential (TRP) channels remain …

Animals maintain the ability to survive and reproduce by acclimating to environmental
temperatures. We showed here that Caenorhabditis elegans exhibited temperature …

The hybrids of female channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and male blue catfish (I. furcatus)
account for> 50% of US catfish production due to superior growth, feed conversion, and …

Adaptation and tolerance to changes in heat and cold temperature are essential for survival
and proliferation in plants and animals. However, there is no clear information regarding the …

Although essential and conserved, sleep is not without its challenges that must be
overcome; most notably, it renders animals vulnerable to threats in the environment …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans requires exogenous cholesterol to survive and its
depletion leads to early developmental arrest. Thus, tight regulation of cholesterol storage …

Vanilloids, including capsaicin and eugenol, are ligands of transient receptor potential
channel vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1). Prolonged treatment with vanilloids …
