Active mode of excretion across digestive tissues predates the origin of excretory organs
Andrikou, Carmen; Thiel, Daniel; Ruiz-Santiesteban, Juan A.; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Most bilaterian animals excrete toxic metabolites through specialized organs, such as nephridia and kidneys, which share morphological and functional correspondences. In contrast, excretion in non-nephrozoans is largely ... -
An ancient FMRFamide-related peptide-receptor pair induces defense behavior in a brachiopod larva
Thiel, Daniel; Bauknecht, Philipp; Jékely, Gáspár; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Animal behaviour often comprises spatially separated sub-reactions and even ciliated larvae are able to coordinate sub-reactions of complex behaviours (metamorphosis, feeding). How these sub-reactions are coordinated is ... -
Conservative route to genome compaction in a miniature annelid
Martin-Duran, José M.; Vellutini, Bruno Cossermelli; Marletaz, Ferdinand; Cetrangolo, Viviana; Cvetesic, Nevena; Thiel, Daniel; Henriet, Simon; Grau-Bové, Xavier; Carrillo-Baltodano, Allan M.; Gu, Wenjia; Kerbl, Alexandra; Marquez, Yamile; Bekkouche, Nicolas; Chourrout, Daniel; Gómez-Skarmeta, José Luis; Irimia, Manuel; Lenhard, Boris; Worsaae, Katrine; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The causes and consequences of genome reduction in animals are unclear because our understanding of this process mostly relies on lineages with often exceptionally high rates of evolution. Here, we decode the compact ... -
Evolutionary and behavioral analysis of neuropeptides in bilaterians
Thiel, Daniel (Doctoral thesis, 2017-06-29)Neuropeptides are a diverse group of neurosecretory signaling molecules that are utilized by the nervous system of all bilaterian animals. These signaling molecules are involved in most physiological processes and can play ... -
A nemertean excitatory peptide/CCHamide regulates ciliary swimming in the larvae of Lineus longissimus
Thiel, Daniel; Bauknecht, Philipp; Jékely, Gáspár; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-10)Background The trochozoan excitatory peptide (EP) and its ortholog, the arthropod CCHamide, are neuropeptides that are only investigated in very few animal species. Previous studies on different trochozoan species focused ... -
Nemertean, Brachiopod, and Phoronid Neuropeptidomics Reveals Ancestral Spiralian Signaling Systems
Hejnol, Andreas H.; Thiel, Daniel; Jékely, Gáspár; Franz-Wachtel, Mirita; Yanez-Guerra, Luis A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Neuropeptides are diverse signaling molecules in animals commonly acting through G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Neuropeptides and their receptors underwent extensive diversification in bilaterians and the relationships ... -
A safer, urea-based in situ hybridization method improves detection of gene expression in diverse animal species
Sinigaglia, Chiara; Thiel, Daniel; Houliston, Evelyn; Leclère, Lucas (Journal article, 2017)In situ hybridization is a widely employed technique allowing spatial visualization of gene expression in fixed specimens. It has proven to be essential to our understanding of biological processes, including developmental ...
