Mucosal immunity of vertebrate and invertebrate species within aquaculture Guest editors: Claudia Serra, Ana Couto The aim of this special issue is to bring together a collection of papers relevant to mucosal i
Although there is more and more research being conducted using fish, stress is poorly defined for this and other classes of pokilothermic vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Homeostasis for fish patients refers to overall biologic and physiologic balance, or to the well-being of the host in its...
Is a seahorse a vertebrate or invertebrate? Do angler fish live in a pelagic zone? Is a dolphin a fish, amphibian or a mammal? Do members of the phylum Chordata have embryonic pharyngeal gill pouches? Explore our homework questions and answers library ...
Evidence for the evolution of a vertebrate sensory system. Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. B Biol. Sci. 2003;270:1115–1121. Ashley PJ, Sneddon LU, McCrohan CR. Nociception in fish: stimulus-response properties of receptors on the head of trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Brain Res. 2007;1166:47–...
Zebra mbuna (aspeciesof cichlid fish) and stingrays can add and subtract one from the numbers one to five, according to a study published inScientific Reports. The findings highlight that the numerical abilities of fish are on par with those of other vertebrate and invertebrate species, accor...
28 which has the same sequence as human SS-28 is shown for comparison. Glycosylated residues are underlined and highlighted in blue. Residues that may be glycosylated are depicted in light blue. Amino acids known to be important for the activation of the vertebrate SSTRs are highlighted in red...
Hagfishes (Myxinidae), a family of jawless marine pre-vertebrates, hold a unique evolutionary position, sharing a joint ancestor with the entire vertebrate lineage. They are thought to fulfil primarily the ecological niche of scavengers in the deep ocean
While the research community has accepted the value of rodent models as informative research platforms, there is less awareness of the utility of other small vertebrate and invertebrate animal models. Neuroscience is increasingly turning to smaller, non-rodent models to understand mechanisms related to ...
Paramyosin, which is absent from vertebrate muscle, indicated the presence of mollusc muscle. It was shown that the determination, of arginine kinase activity enabled differentiation between raw fish muscle and invertebrate muscles.doi:10.1007/BF02368398H. Rehbein...
Surprisingly, the actin/TnC-binding sequence resembles that of arthropod, rather than tetrapod vertebrate, troponin I's and has, besides, unique features not seen in any other troponin I's, vertebrate or invertebrate.doi:10.1016/0167-4781(96)00033-4Paul A. Hodgson...
