The question of why animals vary in their ability to regenerate remains one of the most
intriguing questions in biology. Annelids are a large and diverse phylum, many members of …

Nanoplastics (NPs) are increasingly perceived as an emerging threat to terrestrial
environments, but the adverse impacts of NPs on soil fauna and the mechanisms behind …

Animal regeneration, the ability to restore a lost body part, is a process that has fascinated
scientists for centuries. In this review, we first present what regeneration is and how it relates …

Wild yak (Bos mutus) and domestic yak (Bos grunniens) are adapted to high altitude
environment and have ecological, economic, and cultural significances on the Qinghai …

Indirect development with an intermediate larva exists in all major animal lineages, which
makes larvae central to most scenarios of animal evolution,,,,,,,,–. Yet how larvae evolved …

Despite extensive efforts to generate and analyze reference genomes, genetic models to
predict gene regulation and cell fate decisions are lacking for most species. Here, we …

Continued application of new chiral fungicide mefentrifluconazole (MFZ) increases its risk to
soil ecosystem. However, the toxicity of MFZ enantiomers to soil fauna and whether …

Many annelids can regenerate missing body parts or reproduce asexually, generating all
cell types in adult stages. However, the putative adult stem cell populations involved in these …

Regenerative potential is widespread but unevenly distributed across animals. However, our
understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying regenerative processes is limited to …

Regeneration of missing body parts can be observed in diverse animal phyla, but it remains
unclear to which extent these capacities rely on shared or divergent principles. Research …
