Hatching is a critical event in the life history of oviparous species. The decision to hatch is
often carefully timed to coincide with favorable conditions that will improve survival through …

Light cues vary along the axis of periodicity, intensity and spectrum and perception of light is
dependent on the photoreceptive capacity encoded within the genome and the opsins …

Appropriate light conditions in aquaculture systems are essential for fish welfare. Light
spectrum, as one of the main characteristics of light, has a significant influence on the …

The melanocortin system is a key regulator of appetite and food intake in vertebrates. This
system includes the neuropeptides neuropeptide y (NPY), agouti‐related peptide (AGRP) …

Frogs evolved terrestrial development multiple times, necessitating mechanisms to avoid
ammonia toxicity at early stages. Urea synthesis from ammonia is a key adaptation that …

Photoreceptive inputs to the teleost brain are perceived as image of the visual world and as
photo-modulation of neuroendocrine and neuronal signals. The retina and pineal organ are …

Fish embryonic hatching glands (HGs) secrete choriolysin-zymogens, which when activated
degrade the chorion, allowing larval exit. Thus, hatching encompasses two dissimilar …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different rhythmic light spectra and
intensities on growth performance and physiological and biochemical parameters of juvenile …

Arboreal embryos of red-eyed treefrogs, Agalychnis callidryas, hatch prematurely in
response to hypoxia when flooded and to mechanosensory cues in snake attacks, but …

This study describes the transcriptome profiles of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) embryos
exposed to various light spectra, helping to better understand the importance of light …
