A versatile pattern-forming cortical circuit based on Rho, F-actin, Ect2 and RGA-3/4

A. Michaud, M. Leda, Z. T. Swider, S. Kim, J. He, J. Landino, J. R. Valley, J. Huisken, A. B. Goryachev, G. von Dassow, W. Bement

The paper identifies Ect2 and RGA-3/4 as core components of a cortical excitability circuit and demonstrates the immature Xenopus oocyte as a model for studying excitable dynamics.

Hoplonemertean larvae are planktonic predators that capture and devour active animal prey

G. von Dassow, C. B. Mendes, K. Robbins, S. C. S. Andrade, S. A. Maslakova

This paper provides direct evidence that hoplonemertean larvae are planktonic predators that capture and devour active animal prey, challenging the assumption that they are lecithotrophic direct developers.

Direct observation of the setular web that fuses thoracopodal setae of a calanoid copepod into a collapsible fan

G. von Dassow, R. B. Emlet

The paper directly observes setular webbing in calanoid copepods that links thoracopodal setae into a collapsible fan, showing degradation due to de-linkage.

Large-scale ciliary reversal mediates capture of individual algal prey by Müller’s larva

G. von Dassow, C. I. Ellison

The paper observes that Müller’s larvae use large-scale ciliary reversal to capture microalgal prey, with similar behavior seen across multiple species.
