Modelling transmission and control of Toxoplasma gondii in New Zealand farmland by Rachelle N. Binny, Graham J. Hickling, Alex James, Chris N. Niebuhr

“…In New Zealand’s rural environments, T. gondii creates economic losses for the farming industry and threatens vulnerable native avifauna and marine mammals. Predator control of rodents and feral cats has potential to reduce or even eliminate transmission of T. gondii on farms; however, the efficacy of such management is uncertain. …”

Clocking In Time to Gate Memory Processes: The Circadian Clock Is Part of the Ins and Outs of Memory by Oliver Rawashdeh, Rex Parsons, Erik Maronde

“…The circadian regulation of memory performance is evolutionarily conserved, independent of the type and complexity of the learning paradigm tested, and not specific to crepuscular, nocturnal, or diurnal organisms. In mammals, long-term memory (LTM) formation is tightly coupled to de novo gene expression of plasticity-related proteins and posttranslational modifications and relies on intact cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA)/protein kinase C (PKC)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein (CREB) signaling. …”

Assessment of comminution capacity related to molar intercuspation in catarrhines using a chewing simulator by Axelle EC Walker, Franck Guy, Christian Salles, Ghislain Thiery, Vincent Lazzari

“…Mammalian molars play a central role during chewing, or food comminution, through cyclic dental occlusion. Mammals fragment food items with varying degrees of efficiency depending on their dental morphology, suggesting an adaptive link that is yet to be assessed. …”

How do monomorphic bacteria evolve? The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and the awkward population genetics of extreme clonality by Stritt, Christoph, Gagneux, Sebastien

“…In this review, we highlight the challenges of extreme clonality by discussing population genetic inference with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, a group of closely related obligate bacterial pathogens of mammals. We show how uncertainties underlying quantitative models and verbal arguments affect previous conclusions about the way these organisms evolve. …”

Gab Docking Proteins in Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, and Inflammation by Yoshikazu Nakaoka, Issei Komuro

“…The docking proteins of the Grb2-associated binder (Gab) family have emerged as crucial signaling compartments in metazoans. In mammals, the Gab proteins, consisting of Gab1, Gab2, and Gab3, are involved in the amplification and integration of signal transduction evoked by a variety of extracellular stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, antigens, and other molecules. …”

Regeneration of Zebrafish CNS: Adult Neurogenesis by Sukla Ghosh, Subhra Prakash Hui

“…We intend to discuss our current understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanism(s) that allows formation of proliferating progenitors and controls neurogenesis, which involve changes in epigenetic and transcription programs. Unlike mammals, zebrafish retains radial glia, a nonneuronal cell type in their adult central nervous system. …”

Sonic hedgehog and fibroblast growth factor 8 regulate the evolution of amniote facial proportions by Marta Marchini, Greta Keller, Naaz Khan, Rushabh Shah, Adriana Saliceti Galarza, Katherine B. Starr, Alexandra Apostopoulos, Thomas J. Sanger

“…By investigating facial morphogenesis in the lizard, Anolis sagrei, we show that reptilian skull development is driven by the same genes as mammals and birds, but the manner in which those genes regulate facial development is clade-specific. …”

Successful Treatment of Fungal Dermatitis in a Bottlenose Dolphin (<i>Tursiops truncatus</i>) by Takashi Kamio, Honoka Nojo, Rui Kano, Mami Murakami, Yukako Odani, Koji Kanda, Tomoko Mori, Yuichiro Akune, Masanori Kurita, Ayaka Okada, Yasuo Inoshima

“…In recent decades, many fungi have emerged as major causes of disease in marine mammals. This study reports on the detection of filamentous fungi in the subcutaneous tissue and wound surface on the tail fin of a managed bottlenose dolphin (<i>Tursiops truncatus</i>) emaciated due to severe digestive problems. …”

Disruption of the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Blunts a Time of Day-Dependent Variation in Systemic Anaphylactic Reaction in Mice by Yuki Nakamura, Kayoko Ishimaru, Yu Tahara, Shigenobu Shibata, Atsuhito Nakao

“…Here we report that the circadian clock may be an important regulator of anaphylaxis. In mammals, the central clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus synchronizes and entrains peripheral circadian clock present in virtually all cell types via neural and endocrine pathways, thereby driving the daily rhythms in behavior and physiology. …”
