Blunt traumatic infrarenal aortic intimal flap progressing to pseudoaneurysm over 3 months
 
Blunt traumatic infrarenal aortic injuries are unusual, and the formation of a delayed pseudoaneurysm of the aorta is even more rare. In this report, a young woman developed a small intimal flap of the infrarenal aorta after a motor vehicle accident which progressed into a 3 cm pseudoaneurysm after 3...

Retroperitoneal calcifying fibrous tumor mimicking an adrenal tumor
 
Establishing the etiology of a retroperitoneal tumor may be difficult due to close proximity of multiple organs. Evaluation of retroperitoneal tumors often leads to surgery, many times to obtain a definitive diagnosis and rule out malignancy. Calcifying fibrous tumors (CFT) are very rare soft tissue...

New Lessons from an Old Fish: What Antarctic Icefishes May Reveal about the Functions of Oxygen-Binding Proteins
 
The loss of expression of the oxygen-binding protein hemoglobin (Hb) in the family Channichthyidae (suborder Notothenioidei) of Antarctic fishes is considered a disaptation that has persisted because of the unusual conditions prevailing in the Southern Ocean during the evolution of the family. The loss...

Hormones and the Evolution of Complex Traits: Insights from Artificial Selection on Behavior
 
Although behavior may often be a fairly direct target of natural or sexual selection, it cannot evolve without changes in subordinate traits that cause or permit its expression. In principle, changes in endocrine function could be a common mechanism underlying behavioral evolution because they are well...

Hormones as Mediators of Phenotypic and Genetic Integration: an Evolutionary Genetics Approach
 
Evolutionary endocrinology represents a synthesis between comparative endocrinology and evolutionary genetics. This synthesis can be viewed through the breeder’s equation, a cornerstone of quantitative genetics that, in its univariate form, states that a population’s evolutionary response is the product...

Transcriptional Profiling of Metabolic Transitions during Development and Diapause Preparation in the Copepod Calanus finmarchicus
 
SynopsisCalanus finmarchicus, like many other copepods in the family Calanidae, can enter into a facultative diapause during the last juvenile phase (fifth copepodid, C5) to enable survival during unfavorable periods. Diapause is essential to the persistence of Calanus populations and profoundly impacts...

Gonads and the evolution of hormonal phenotypes
 
Hormones are dynamic signaling molecules that influence gene activity and phenotype, and they are thus thought to play a central role in phenotypic evolution. In vertebrates, many fitness-related traits are mediated by the hormone testosterone (T), but the mechanisms by which T levels evolve are unclear....

A birds eye view of influenza A virus transmission: challenges with characterizing both sides of a co-evolutionary dynamic
 
In nature, wild birds and influenza A viruses (IAV) are continually co-evolving, locked into a back-and-forth of resistance and conquest that has approached a stable equilibrium over time. This co-evolutionary relationship between bird host and IAV may appear stable at the organismal level, but is highly...

Modeling vector-borne disease risk in migratory animals under climate change
 
Recent theory suggests that animals that migrate to breed at higher latitudes may benefit from reduced pressure from natural enemies, including pathogens (“migratory escape”), and that migration itself weeds out infected individuals and lowers infection prevalence (“migratory culling”). The distribution...

Suchian Feeding Success at the Interface of Ontogeny and Macroevolution
 
There have been a number of attempts to explain how crocodylian bite-force performance covaries with cranial form and diet. However, the mechanics and morphologies of crocodylian jaws have thus far remained incongruent with data on their performance and evolution. For example, it is largely assumed that...

BackgroundCranial autonomic parasympathetic symptoms (CAPS) appear in at least half of migraine patients theoretically as a result of the release of peptides by the trigemino-vascular system (TVS). Cranial pain pathways become sensitised by repeated episodes of TVS activation, leading to migraine chronification.ObjectiveThe...
