Discovery and evolution of novel hemerythrin genes in annelid worms 

Costa-Paiva, Elisa M.; Whelan, Nathan V; Waits, Damien S; Santos, Scott R.; Schrago, Carlos G.; Halanych, Kenneth M. (2019-04-29)
BACKGROUND: Despite extensive study on hemoglobins and hemocyanins, little is known about hemerythrin (Hr) evolutionary history. Four subgroups of Hrs have been documented, including: circulating Hr (cHr), myohemerythrin ...

Phylogenomic analyses of Crassiclitellata support major Northern and Southern Hemisphere clades and a Pangaean origin for earthworms 

Anderson, Frank E.; Williams, Bronwyn W.; Horn, Kevin M.; Erséus, Christer; Halanych, Kenneth M.; Santos, Scott R.; James, Samuel W. (2019-04-26)
BACKGROUND: Earthworms (Crassiclitellata) are a diverse group of annelids of substantial ecological and economic importance. Earthworms are primarily terrestrial infaunal animals, and as such are probably rather poor natural ...

The influence of maternal nesting behaviour on offspring survival: evidence from correlational and cross-fostering studies 

Addis, Elizabeth; Warner, Daniel; Pruett, Jenna (2019-04-22)
The maternal effect of nesting behaviour is important in oviparous species because choice of microhabitat (e.g. shade cover, temperature) can determine the environment in which embryos develop. In turn, this maternal choice ...
