Abstract:
... Although several emerging mosquito control technologies are dependent on mass releases of adult males, methods of sex-sorting that can be implemented globally have not yet been established. RNAi screens led to the discovery of siRNA, which targets gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), a gene which is well conserved in multiple species of mosquitoes and located at the sex-determining M locus region ...

Dicentrarchus labrax; adults; aquaculture; females; fish; genomics; heritability; males; models; reproduction; transponders
Abstract:
... Mass reproduction is widely used in fish farms because it is relatively easy and inexpensive. It also enables the development of mass selection programmes that provide gains for traits with high heritability. The main weakness of this approach is that it is currently impossible to know which females participated in reproductive events, unless by conducting expensive genomic experiments. We tested ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The argasid tick Ornithodoros erraticus is the main vector of tick-borne human relapsing fever (TBRF) and African swine fever (ASF) in the Mediterranean Basin. The prevention and control of these diseases would greatly benefit from the elimination of O. erraticus populations, and anti-tick vaccines are envisaged as an effective and sustainable alternative to chemical acaricide usage fo ...

Abstract:
... In the left thoracic limb of a male cadaver (adult mixed‐breed dog), the median nerve (MN) after departing from the common median/ulnar nerve (UN) trunk received two branches. One from the lateral thoracic nerve (LTN) and the other from the musculocutaneous nerve (MCN). These both passed cranial to the axillary artery at the level of the lateral thoracic artery and joined the median nerve. Thus, i ...

... The rice field eel (Monopterus albus) is a protogynous hermaphroditic fish reared commercially as an aquaculture species in East Asia. Artificial breeding of rice field eels requires an abundance of adult females and males; however, the eels need to undergo a long period of female and intersexual stages before they develop into males, which results in a shortage of functional males in production p ...

Abstract:
... Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder caused by genetic and environmental factors. It is closely related to a dysfunction of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, in which the epigenetic modification of the nr3c1 plays an important role. It is well known that nr3c1 methylation in offspring is reportedly related to early adverse life experiences, prenatal stress r ...

Abstract:
... Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) is associated with metabolic disturbances in the offspring. Fructose is a highly consumed lipogenic sugar; however, it is unknown whether skeletal muscle of maternal HFD offspring respond differentially to a fructose overload. Female Wistar rats received standard diet (STD: 9% fat) or isocaloric high-fat diet (HFD: 29% fat) during 8 weeks before mating until weaning. A ...

Abstract:
... Maternal care in early life is essential for the growth and development of an offspring. The light phase of the circadian cycle is the dam's most caring phase for her pups. Therefore, we hypothesized that, in the long term, maternal separation (an early-life stress model) in the light phase can be more deleterious than maternal separation in the dark phase. This study aims to compare the effects o ...

Abstract:
... Eating behavior (EB) is a complex system influenced by many factors, but an undisputed role is played by the senses. In this work, we examined the effect of the sensory capacities on EB in 1152 Italian adult individuals. After administering a questionnaire on EB and assessing sensory performance through standard audiometric, olfactory, and taste tests, the prevalence of reduced sensory capacities ...

Abstract:
... Floaters constitute the sexually mature but non-breeding part of populations. Despite being ubiquitous in most species, knowledge about floaters is scarce. Ignoring this significant number of individuals may strongly bias our understanding of population dynamics and sexual selection processes. We used the spotless starling (Sturnus unicolor) to examine whether phenotypical and non-phenotypical var ...

We studied whether fecal testosterone (fTm) and estradiol (fEm) metabolites, dominance rank, age, and male-to-female sexual behavior (a proxy for female sexual attractiveness) are predictors of aggression in eight focal fe ...

Abstract:
... The beneficial association between nature contact and human health is often explained with psycho-evolutionary frameworks such as stress reduction theory and the savanna hypothesis. However, evidence is limited on how natural environments that are not green affect stress. One example is the desert, which does not offer affordances for nourishment or safety in an evolutionary sense. In this study, ...

Alternatively, disease susceptibility may decrease with age if older individuals are more likely to have had prior exposures to parasites and acquired adaptive immune responses that allowed them to resist future infections.
