Recent work has demonstrated certain Daphnia pulicaria strains have adapted resistance to toxins found in harmful algal blooms.  In this work, we generated two draft genome assemblies that are resources that can be used to explore possible genetic variation that could be contributing to toxin resistance in these organisms.

By using a continuously breeding lizard we demonstrate increased investment in reproduction during tail regeneration, contrary to predictions from life-history theory. Tissue regeneration had a positive effect on reproduction in terms of egg size (11.7% relative to controls) and hatchling size (11.5% relative to controls), and no effect on egg number or survival, with the increase in reproduction starting at peak regeneration. Increased egg and offspring size was maintained as regeneration tapered.

In upper-level biology CUREs, students benefit from a period of “skill-building” (known as a Guided Format), in which students practice skills with a known outcome prior to implementation of novel research. A more evenly balanced system of structure and independence through skill-building led to more positive impacts on student outcomes than traditionally recommended entirely independent CUREs commonly used in lower-level courses. The benefits and drawbacks of each approach are discussed while considering the unique elements of upper-level courses relative to lower-level courses, along with a discussion of how implementing structured skill-building can assist instructors in adapting CUREs to their courses.

​Here we quantitfied gene expression of IGF hormones in liver and and  IGFBPs across tissues and developmental stages in a model reptile, the brown anole lizard (Anolis sagrei).  We found that  lizards express IGF2 across all life stages (preoviposition embryos to adulthood) and IGF2 is expressed at a higher level than IGF1, which is opposite of patterns seen in laboratory rodents but similar to those seen in humans. While IGFBP expression was ubiquitous across tissues (brain, gonad, heart, liver, skeletal muscle, tail, and regenerating tail) in adults, there was variable expression of IGFBP5.

Experimental Gerontology. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exger.2020.110967

In this article, we show connections among mitochondrial function, organismal metabolism, and genetic variants in long-studied garter snake populations that are either fast- (FA) or slow-aging (SA). At the cellular level, we demonstrate that Fast-aging snakes consume more oxygen relative to Slow-aging snakes; this difference becomes bigger as animals become older. Additionally, we found that genetic variation in the mitochondrial genome (cytochrome-B SNP) is associated with the fast- and slow-aging phenotypes, and the genetic variation predicts metabolic rate in a sex-specific manner.

In this perceptive article I discuss the potential and the difficulties of using "big" genetic, protein and metabolism datasets (-omics) to help us understand how plants and animals respond to stressors. The target audience is students and those researchers who are considering integrating -omics approaches in their stress biology research.

Here we demonstrate the differences between the mainland and island populations for three reptile species. We presented 6 years of body size, relative head size, and blood glucose measurements from two mainland California populations and two California Channel Islands. Our data indicates that the three reptiles have independently obtained lower blood glucose levels and smaller body sizes on islands relative to the mainland populations, which is consistent with lower resource availability in island habitats.

Insulin-like growth factor1 (IGF1) is a protein hormone that promotes  growth, reproduction and survival of cells and organisms. Here we sequenced IGF1 from 11 reptiles and found that the genetic sequence of IGF-1 is changing rapidly in snakes and lizards compared to the other reptiles sequenced. These genetic changes are associated with the IGF-1 hormone activating (binding) other proteins for normal IIS function.
