Development of the larval anterior neurogenic domains of Terebratalia transversa (Brachiopoda) provides insights into the diversification of larval apical organs and the spiralian nervous system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-01-24)Background: Larval features such as the apical organ, apical ciliary tuft, and ciliated bands often complicate the evaluation of hypotheses regarding the origin of the adult bilaterian nervous system. Understanding how ... -
Developmental diversity in free-living flatworms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-03-19)Abstract Flatworm embryology has attracted attention since the early beginnings of comparative evolutionary biology. Considered for a long time the most basal bilaterians, the Platyhelminthes (excluding Acoelomorpha) are ... -
Developmental expression of “germline”- and “sex determination”-related genes in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-02)Background: An essential developmental pathway in sexually reproducing animals is the specification of germ cells and the differentiation of mature gametes, sperm and oocytes. The “germline” genes vasa, nanos ... -
A developmental role for the chromatin-regulating CoREST complex in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Chromatin-modifying proteins are key players in the regulation of development and cell differentiation in animals. Most chromatin modifiers, however, predate the evolution of animal multicellularity, and how ... -
Diapycnal Mixing in a Conceptual Model of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(Journal article, 2006)A three-box model of the Atlantic Ocean is used to examine the influence different parameterisations of the diapycnal mixing may have on the large scale dynamics of the ocean circulation. Special emphasis is given to the ... -
Diversity and host associations of Myrsidea chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae) in the tropical rainforest of Malaysian Borneo
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The tropical rainforests of Sundaland are a global biodiversity hotspot increasingly threatened by human activities. While parasitic insects are an important component of the ecosystem, their diversity and parasite-host ... -

Early evolution of radial glial cells in Bilateria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Bilaterians usually possess a central nervous system, composed of neurons and supportive cells called glial cells. Whereas neuronal cells are highly comparable in all these animals, glial cells apparently differ, and in ... -
Earth science – oceanography
(Chapter, 2002)Satellite oceanography began with the Gemini XII flight in November 1966. From a Hasselblad camera mounted in the pilot’s window large internal waves in the eastern tropical Atlantic were photographed via sunglitter for ... -
Embracing the comparative approach: How robust phylogenies and broader developmental sampling impacts the understanding of nervous system evolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-09)Molecular biology has provided a rich dataset to develop hypotheses of nervous system evolution. The startling patterning similarities between distantly related animals during the development of their central nervous system ... -
Embryonic chirality and the evolution of spiralian left - right asymmetries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-12)The group Spiralia includes species with one of the most significant cases of left–right asymmetries in animals: the coiling of the shell of gastropod molluscs (snails). In this animal group, an early event of embryonic ... -
Embryonic expression of endogenous retroviral RNAs in somatic tissues adjacent to the Oikopleura germline
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Selective pressure to maintain small genome size implies control of transposable elements, and most old classes of retrotransposons are indeed absent from the very compact genome of the tunicate Oikopleura dioica. Nonetheless, ... -
Embryonic expression of priapulid Wnt genes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-07)Posterior elongation of the developing embryo is a common feature of animal development. One group of genes that is involved in posterior elongation is represented by the Wnt genes, secreted glycoprotein ligands that signal ... -
Engraving the ships. Shared ideas and practices
(Papers and Monographs from the Norwegian Institute at Athens. volume 5, Chapter, 2016)Traces of ships can be seen on rock engravings, i.e. carvings or graffiti, along the coasts of Cyprus and the Levant. These engravings are frequently interpreted on religious grounds, however, the interpretation of these ... -

An ERS 1 synthetic aperture radar image of atmospheric lee waves
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1994-11-15)An ERS 1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image of the island Hopen shows a distinct 7.6-km wavelength wave phenomenon near the island. This wave phenomenon is interpreted as the surface imprint on open water of atmospheric ... -

Euboea during the Neolithic period: a review of the evidence
(Papers and Monographs from the Norwegian Institute at Athens, Chapter, 2017)Η Εύβοια αποτελεί μια ειδική περίπτωση της Νεολιθικής περιόδου στην Ελλάδα λόγω της γεωγραφικής της θέσης και των αρχαιολογικών καταγραφών που αφορούν σε ολόκληρη τη Νεολιθική περίοδο. Μια αναθεώρηση των καταγραφών σχετικά ...
