EXPRESSION OF THE PAIR-RULE GENE HOMOLOGS RUNT, PAX3/7, EVEN-SKIPPED-1 AND EVEN-SKIPPED-2 DURING LARVAL AND JUVENILE DEVELOPMENT OF THE POLYCHAETE ANNELID CAPITELLA TELETA DOES NOT SUPPORT A ROLE IN SEGMENTATION

Abstract Background Annelids and arthropods each possess a segmented body.Whether this similarity represents an evolutionary convergence or inheritance from a common segmented ancestor is the subject of ongoing investigation.Methods To investigate whether annelids and arthropods share molecular components that control segmentation, we isolated orth

The illegal wildlife trade (IWT) threatens conservation and biosecurity efforts.The Internet has greatly facilitated the trade of wildlife, and researchers have increasingly examined the Internet to uncover illegal trade.However, most efforts to locate illegal trade on the Internet are targeted to one or few taxa or products.Large-scale efforts to

The effects of particle morphology on the structure and swelling/dissolution and rheological properties of nascent ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in liquid paraffin (LP) were elaborately explored in this article.Nascent UHMWPE with different particle morphologies was prepared via pre-polymerization technique and direct polymeriza
