Journal ArticleDOI
Conserved repressive function of Krüppel homolog 1 on insect metamorphosis in hemimetabolous and holometabolous species
TL;DR: RNAi experiments reported herein indicated that Kr-h1 transduces the antimetamorphic action of JH also in B. germanica, suggesting that this role is an ancestral condition that has been conserved in insect evolution from hemimetabolous to holometabolous species.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular palaeobiological exploration of arthropod terrestrialization
Jesus Lozano-Fernandez,Robert Carton,Alastair R. Tanner,Mark N. Puttick,Mark Blaxter,Jakob Vinther,Jørgen E. Olesen,Gonzalo Giribet,Gregory D. Edgecombe,Davide Pisani +9 more
TL;DR: A molecular palaeobiological approach is implemented, merging molecular and fossil evidence, to elucidate the deepest history of the terrestrial arthropods and showed that a marine route to the colonization of land is the most likely scenario.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncertain-tree: discriminating among competing approaches to the phylogenetic analysis of phenotype data.
Mark N. Puttick,Joseph E. O'Reilly,Alastair R. Tanner,James F. Fleming,James W. Clark,Lucy Holloway,Jesus Lozano-Fernandez,Luke A. Parry,James E. Tarver,Davide Pisani,Philip C. J. Donoghue +10 more
TL;DR: It is found that all methods struggle to correctly resolve deep clades within asymmetric trees, and when analysing small character matrices, the Bayesian Mk model is the most accurate method for estimating topology, but with lower resolution than other methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing species sampling in chelicerate genomic-scale datasets provides support for monophyly of Acari and Arachnida
Jesus Lozano-Fernandez,Alastair R. Tanner,Mattia Giacomelli,Robert Carton,Jakob Vinther,Gregory D. Edgecombe,Davide Pisani +6 more
TL;DR: The authors reconstruct the phylogeny of the Chelicerata using genomic-scale datasets, finding evidence for a monophyletic Acari and a single terrestrialisation of Arachnida.
Journal ArticleDOI
MiR-2 family regulates insect metamorphosis by controlling the juvenile hormone signaling pathway.
TL;DR: The data presented indicate that miR-2 microRNAs rapidly clear Krüppel homolog 1 transcripts in the last nymphal instar, a process that is crucial for proper metamorphosis, and reveals the elegant mechanism of an miRNA family leading meetamorphosis to its correct conclusion.
