Biological toxins are entrenched within ecosystems. Thus, animals often exposed to such toxins, and how they adapt can be a key determinant of their evolutionary trajectories. In this review, we provide an overview the diversity toxin resistance mechanisms, with focus on that sequester from diet natural predators parasites. We propose structured framework in which study by recategorizing reorganizing known mechanisms into avoidance, metabolism, target categories. Then, using framework,...
Abstract Adaptive and neutral processes have produced a spectrum of genome sizes across organisms. Amphibians in particular possess wide range C-values, from <1 to over 125 pg. However, the size most amphibians is unknown, no single family has been comprehensively assessed. We provide new estimates for 32 poison frog species representing major lineages within Dendrobatidae using Feulgen staining museum specimens flow cytometry fresh tissue. show that likely evolved gradually, with...
Animals that ingest toxins can become unpalatable and even toxic to predators parasites through toxin sequestration. Because most animals rapidly eliminate survive their ingestion, it is unclear how populations transition from susceptibility elimination tolerance accumulation as chemical defence emerges. Studies of have generally focused on species with active sequestration target-site insensitivity mutations or toxin-binding proteins permit survival without necessitating elimination. Here,...

mRNAs enriched in membraneless condensates provide functional compartmentalization within cells. How sort and organize these is poorly understood. Here, we report on a self-sorting mechanism by which multiple derived from the same gene assemble into homotypic mRNA clusters. In Drosophila germ granules, clusters formed originating different genes are de-mixed each other granule located at distinct positions homogeneously-distributed protein environment of granule. The specificity for not...
