Inclusion of Salicornia ramosissima biomass in diets for juvenile whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) induces favourable but transient effects in the immune and oxidative status

L. Ramos-Pinto, R. Marcal, A. Barreto, A. Laranjeira, M. Machado, S. Fernandez-Boo, C. Teixeira, A. Couto, J. Dias, S. Guilherme, A. Verissimo, D. Pinto, R. Rocha, B. Costas

This study evaluates the effects of including Salicornia ramosissima biomass in shrimp diets on growth, immune status, and oxidative stress, finding transient improvements in antioxidant response and potential cost savings.

Mosaic evolution of a learning and memory circuit in Heliconiini butterflies

M. S. Farnworth, T. Loupasaki, A. Couto, S. H. Montgomery

The paper examines how mushroom body circuits in Heliconiini butterflies evolve, finding that some Kenyon cell populations expand faster than others, linked to behavioral changes, while dopaminergic neuron numbers remain conserved.

Enhanced long-term memory and increased mushroom body plasticity in Heliconius butterflies

F. J. Young, A. Alcalde, L. Melo-Florez, A. Couto, J. Foley, M. Monllor, W. O. McMillan, S. H. Montgomery

This study shows Heliconius butterflies have enhanced long-term memory and greater mushroom body plasticity compared to related species, linked to synaptic changes and developmental responses to learning.

Re-emergence and diversification of a specialised antennal lobe morphology in ithomiine butterflies

B. J. Morris, A. Couto, A. Aldin, S. H. Montgomery

The paper identifies the re-emergence and diversification of macroglomerular complexes in ithomiine butterflies, linking their morphology to ecological and chemical cue processing.

Heat-stress triggers MAPK crosstalk to turn on the hyper-osmotic response pathway

P. Dunayevich, R. Baltanas, J. Clemente, A. Couto, D. Sapochnik, A. Colman-Lerner

The paper shows heat-stress activates the HOG pathway in yeast via the Sln1 phosphorelay branch, dependent on the CWI pathway and glycerol loss through Fps1.
