Animals can produce different phenotypes from the same genome during development,
environmental adaptation and evolution, which is mediated by epigenetic mechanisms …

Purpose of Review RNA-sequencing has provided a new way to study transcriptomic
population differences of non-model organisms such as marine invertebrates. Importantly …

Hypoxia is a major physiological constraint for which multicellular eukaryotes have evolved
robust cellular mechanisms capable of addressing dynamic changes in O2 availability. In …

In natural environments, two or more abiotic parameters often vary simultaneously, and
interactions between co-varying parameters frequently result in unpredictable, non-additive …

Environmental temperatures have pervasive effects on the performance and tolerance of
ectothermic organisms, and thermal tolerance limits likely play key roles underlying …

Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of extreme temperatures.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the ability to cope with acute thermal …

Oxidative stress reflects the imbalance of pro-oxidants and antioxidants. Prolonged oxidative
stress can induce cellular damage, diseases and aging, and the effects may be sex-specific …

Dormancy is evolutionarily widespread and can take many forms, including diapause, dauer
formation, estivation, and hibernation. Each type of dormancy is characterized by distinct …

Repeatability of adaptation to similar environments provides opportunity to evaluate the
predictability of natural selection. While many studies have investigated gene expression …

The development of the ovary of Onychostoma macrolepis undergoes distinct annual cyclic
changes in which small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) could play vital roles. In this study, four …
