Abstract:
... Fracture or cracking essentially involves the formation of new interfaces. These patterns are usually studied as two-dimensional mosaics. The new surface that opens up is in the third dimension, along the thickness of the sample. The thickness is usually very small compared to the lateral dimensions of the pattern. A spectacular and distinctive departure from these everyday examples of cracks are ...

Abstract:
... The upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea has become a model organism for the study of symbiosis between dinoflagellates and cnidarian hosts. Most previous studies have indicated that the presence of symbiotic zooxanthellae is a key requirement for strobilation in Cassiopea. Indole compounds have been shown to induce strobilation in many scyphozoans, including symbiotic Cassiopea xamachana. To determine ...

Abstract:
... Microbial-derived cues of marine biofilms induce settlement and metamorphosis of marine organisms, a process responsible for the emergence of diverse flora and fauna in marine habitats. Although this phenomenon is known for more than 80 years, the research field has only recently gained much momentum. Here, we summarize the currently existing biochemical and microbial knowledge about microbial sig ...

Abstract:
... The pupae of Drosophila melanogaster are immobile for several days during metamorphosis, during which they develop a new body with a thin transparent adult integument. Their immobility and transparency make them ideal for in vivo live imaging experiments. Many studies have focused on the dorsal epithelial monolayer of the pupal notum because of its accessibility and relatively large size. In addit ...

Abstract:
... Understanding aspects of development in animals posessing certain “ancestral” traits can provide key insights into the evolution of various larval forms of invertebrates. Little is presently known concerning the neurodevelopment of Protobranchia, a group of bivalve mollusks.

While, bract is present in some ornamental plants and plays an important role in their reproductive growth. The huge and long-standing bract of an ancient species, the dove tree (Davidia), implies the existence of a distinctive pathway of bract development. However, compared to bract suppression ...
