Urea tissue levels in whole body R. marmoratus measured every 3 h over a 1.5-day period (Series I). White and black bars above the graph indicate periods of light and dark, respectively. Values are expressed as means + s.e.m. (N=6). Columns labeled with different letters are significantly different (P<0.05). The broken line represents the Jurea pattern under corresponding 12 h:12 h L:D conditions (Rodela and Wright, 2006). The mesor of Jurea is 0.175±0.016 μmol N g-1 h-1 and the acrophase occurs at 14:30±00:39 h.

Diurnal oxygen consumption rates in R. marmoratus over a 3-day period measured every 6 h for 1 h. White and black bars above the graph indicate periods of light and dark, respectively (Series II). Values are expressed as means + s.e.m. (N=12). Oxygen consumption values followed a significant rhythm (F2,9=15.5, P=0.0012). The mesor of oxygen consumption is 14.79±6.59μ mol O2 g-1 h-1 and the acrophase is 13:48±00:34 h.

Oxygen consumption rates (solid circles) for R. marmoratus measured for 1 h intervals over a 6 h period (Series III). The white bar above the graph indicates constant light. Values are expressed as means + s.e.m. (N=12). Columns labeled with different lowercase letters are significantly different (P<0.05). Jurea (grey bars) for R. marmoratus measured for 1 h intervals over a 6 h period (Series IV). Values are expressed as means + s.e.m. (N=8). Columns labeled with different uppercase letters are significantly different (P<0.05).

The effect of a single 6 h exposure to 30 μmol l-1 ketanserin (A) and 1 μmol l-1 RU-486 (B) on Jurea in R. marmoratus (Series VI). Values are expressed as means ± s.e.m. (N=8). The arrows indicates the time at which the single dose of the drug was administered. Treatment values (dotted lines) labeled with an asterisk are significantly different from control values (solid lines) at corresponding time intervals (P<0.05). White and black bars above the graph indicate periods of light and dark, respectively.

The effect of 30 μmol l-1 ketanserin on the diurnal cycle of Jurea in R. marmoratus (Series VII). For each 6 h time interval following the first exposure to ketanserin (12:00-18:00 h), fresh 30 μmol l-1 solutions were added to the chamber. White and black bars above the graph indicate periods of light and dark, respectively. Values are expressed as means + s.e.m. (N=8). Treatment values (white bars) labeled with an asterisk are significantly different from control values (black bars) at corresponding time intervals (P<0.05).
- Fig. 6.
The effect of 1 μmol l-1 RU-486 on the diurnal cycle of Jurea in R. marmoratus (Series VII). For each 6 h time interval following the initial exposure to RU-486 (12:00-18:00 h), fresh 1 μmol l-1 solutions were added to the chamber. White and black bars above the graph indicate periods of light and dark, respectively. Values are expressed as means + s.e.m. (N=8). Treatment values (white bars) labeled with an asterisk are significantly different from control values (black bars) at corresponding time intervals (P<0.05).

Read & Publish participation continues to grow
“It is particularly encouraging for early career researchers, as it allows them to display their research globally without the need to find costs to cover the open access option.”
Professor Fernando Montealegre-Z (University of Lincoln) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 150 institutions in 15 countries and four library consortia taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
Nocturnal reef residents have deep-sea-like eyes
Fanny de Busserolles and colleagues from The University of Queensland have discovered that the eyes of nocturnal reef fish have multibank retinas, layers of photoreceptors, similar to the eyes of deep-sea fish that live in dim light conditions.
Mechanisms underlying gut microbiota–host interactions in insects
