Smell abilities differ greatly among vertebrate species due to distinct sensory needs, with exceptional variability reported in the number of olfactory genes and size odour-processing regions brain. However, key environmental factors shaping genomic phenotypic changes linked system remain difficult identify at macroevolutionary scales. Here, we investigate association between diverse ecological traits chemoreceptors approximately two hundred ray-finned fishes.We found independent expansions...
African mole-rats (Bathyergidae, Rodentia) are subterranean rodents that live in extensive dark underground tunnel systems and rarely emerge aboveground. They can discriminate between light but show no overt visually driven behaviours except for light-avoidance responses. Their eyes central visual system strongly reduced not degenerated. Here, we focus on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Sighted mammals have numerous RGC types with distinct morphological functional properties encode different...
Animals in aquatic ecosystems impacted by global changes often face reduced availability of vital organic compounds, such as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA), for brain development and cognition. Cognitive skills are crucial buffering the impacts environmental stress on fitness, yet link between quality diet fitness-enhancing behaviours individuals food webs altered change remains unclear. We examined how dietary n-3 LC-PUFA affect development, social dominance, growth...
Remote real-time monitoring of pipelines reliability is becoming a key factor for the environmental sustainability oil&gas industry. Multipoint Acoustic Sensing (MAS) technology makes use multi sensors placed at discrete distances to detect Third Party Interference (TPI) and fluid leaks along pipeline. In fact, any interaction with pipe generates pressure waves that are guided within (gas or oil) long distances, carrying information on source event. Pressure propagation mainly governed...
Abstract Cartilaginous fishes have large and elaborate olfactory organs, but only a small repertoire of receptor genes. Here, we quantitatively analyze the system 21 species sharks rays, assessing many features organ (OOR) (number primary lamellae, branches secondary folds, sensory surface area, density number neurons) bulb (OB) neurons non‐neuronal cells), estimate ratio between in two structures. We show that lamellae OOR does not correlate with while complexity lamellar shape does. The...
Abstract Smell abilities differ greatly among vertebrate species, as reflected by the exceptional size variability of gene families and brain regions involved in odour detection. However, key environmental factors shaping molecular phenotypic evolution olfactory sensory system remain mostly unknown. Here, we investigate association between diverse ecological traits number chemoreceptors genomes more than two hundred ray-finned fishes. We found independent expansions producing large...
