Quantitative genetic variation of metabolism in the nymphs of the sand cricket, Gryllus firmus, inferred from an analysis of inbred-lines

Compared with morphological and life history traits, quantitative genetic variation of metabolic and related traits in animals has been poorly studied.We used flow-through VC0(2) respirometry and simultaneous activity measurement on nymphs of the sand cricket {Gryllus firmus) from inbred lines to estimate broad-sense heritability of four metabolic

Advancing Discovery of Snail Mucins Function and Application

Mucins are a highly glycosylated protein family that are secreted by animals for adhesion, hydration, lubrication, and other functions.Despite their ubiquity, animal mucins are largely uncharacterized.Snails produce mucin proteins in their mucous for a wide array of biological functions, including microbial protection, adhesion and lubrication.Rece
