Noncanonical action of Relish controls larval development via transcriptional regulation of CncC in Tribolium castaneum In this study, using Tribolium castaneum as a model insect, we found that knockdown of TcRelish impaired pupation concomitant with decreased juvenile hormone (JH) levels and downregulation of JH degr....

The early evolution of caddisflies: Milne and Milne revisited In 1939, Margery and Lorus Milne published a creative figure that illustrated the evolutionary history of caddisflies. Here, we pay tribute to that paper by generating a new figure in the style of the...

This study revisits a classic 1939 #illustration by Margery and Lorus Milne and presents an updated figure of #caddisfly #evolutionaryhistory, highlighting their variety of #larval construction behaviors and #ecological diversification.

Our paper on the effects of #larval #thermogenesis in #labscale trials is officially out in @cp-iscience.bsky.social.
We explored how larval #densities drive thermogenesis, influencing both the #gut and #substrate #microbiota.

The monstrously beautiful #shrimp #Cerataspis #monstrosa. Seen here as its #larval stage, spinning crazy spirals. I’ve let the speed increase up to its real-life speed at the end to give you an impression of how it really swims, and the difficulties in filming it😵‍💫.

Fig. 1Mature ovaries and spawned eggs. (A) Ovaries in the planktotrophic developer, Ophiocoma scolopendrina, packed with small (100 µm diam.) red eggs (arrows). (B) Dissected gonads from Ophiarthrum elegans showing large (ca. 380 µm diam) green eggs of this lecithotrophic developer. (C, D) Fertilized eggs of Breviturma dentata (C) and Ophiocoma scolopendrina (D) with smooth and ornate fertilization envelopes (arrows), respectively. (E, F) Histology sections of the ovaries of Breviturma dentata (E) and Ophiomastix endeani (F). The magenta stain indicates presence of yolk (see methods), which dominates the eggs of B. dentata. (G, H) Plastic sections of the eggs of these species showing the dominance of yolk granules (Y) in the eggs of B. dentata (G) and lipid droplets (L) in the eggs of O. endeani (H). N, nucleus. Scale bars: A, B = 500 µm, C, D, F = 100 µm, E = 50 µm, G, H = 10 µm.
