- RNA-seq reveals disruption of gene regulation when honey bees are caged and deprived of hive conditions
Summary: Honey bees caged for experimental purposes show significant alteration of their gene regulation and oxidative stress compared with their sister-mates operating under natural hive conditions.
- Identification of novel circadian transcripts in the zebrafish retina
Summary: Characterization of the day and night transcriptome of the adult zebrafish retina reveals novel circadian transcripts.
- Environmental history impacts gene expression during diapause development in the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata
Summary: Gene expression during diapause development in Megachile rotundata is impacted by environmental history and is highly variable between individual overwintering prepupae.
- Exposure to CO2 influences metabolism, calcification and gene expression of the thecosome pteropod Limacina retroversa
Summary: Severity and duration of CO2 exposure influence calcification and respiration differentially in Limacina retroversa, as shown by organismal and gene expression responses, while captivity interactively influences respiration and gene expression.
- Considerations for the use of transcriptomics in identifying the ‘genes that matter’ for environmental adaptation
Summary: The ability of transcriptomics to identify genes that underlie environmental adaptation is explored in the context of recent systems-level experiments that provide new insights into the relationship between gene expression and fitness.
- Transcriptional responses to fluctuating thermal regimes underpinning differences in survival in the solitary bee Megachile rotundata
Summary: Transcripts associated with chill injury, neurological development and longevity are up-regulated in bees exposed to fluctuating temperatures during post-diapause quiescence.
