Chromosomes and speciation in tuco-tuco (Ctenomys, Hystricognathi, Rodentia) by A. A. Torgasheva, E. A. Basheva, M. J. Gomez Fernandez, P. Mirol, P. M. Borodin

“…Their strict territorial and solitary life under the earth, vast but highly fragmented habitats, low migration activity were the causes of their very fast radiation. About 60 species of this genus have been described. They are found in a variety of habitats, from the mountains of the Andes to the coastal dunes of the Atlantic, from humid steppes of Pampas to dry deserts of Chaco. …”

Yeti claws: Cheliped sexual dimorphism and symmetry in deep-sea yeti crabs (Kiwaidae). by Christopher Nicolai Roterman, Molly McArthur, Cecilia Laverty Baralle, Leigh Marsh, Jon T Copley

“…Sexual dimorphism is a common feature of decapod crustaceans, but little is known about its prevalence in species from deep-sea habitats. We address this knowledge deficit by investigating claw sexual dimorphism and symmetry in the hydrothermal-vent endemic 'Hoff crab', Kiwa tyleri. …”

The Extracts of Some Marine Invertebrates and Algae Collected off the Coast Waters of Vietnam Induce the Inhibitory Effects on the Activator Protein-1 Transcriptional Activity in J... by S. N. Fedorov, V. B. Krasokhin, L. K. Shubina, S. A. Dyshlovoy, N. H. Nam, C. V. Minh

“…The inhibitory effects of the extracts of Vietnamese marine organisms in relation to the AP-1 transcriptional activity were examined by the luciferase method using JB6 Cl41 cells stably expressing a luciferase reporter gene controlled by AP-1 DNA binding sequence. As was found, 71 species of marine sponges out of 148 species studied contain inhibitors of the AP-1 transcriptional activity. …”

Quorum sensing-mediated inter-specific conidial anastomosis tube fusion between Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. siamense by Nikita Mehta, Abhishek Baghela

“…Abstract Many plant pathogenic filamentous fungi undergo fusion of conidia through conidial anastomosis tubes (CATs), which is believed to facilitate horizontal gene transfer between species. We discovered a remarkable inter-specific CAT fusion between two important plant fungal pathogens Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. siamense. …”
