This study shows that unfamiliar conspecifics increase freezing and shift movement towards immobility in zebrafish, particularly in males, and elevate cortisol levels overall.

The paper uses single-cell sequencing to study gene expression during the life cycle of Oikopleura dioica, identifying cell types and genes involved in house-producing epithelium development.

The paper investigates the evolutionary history of visual opsins in vertebrates by analyzing jawless vertebrate genomes and finds evidence of tandem duplications before vertebrate radiation.

The paper investigates Pax37A and Pax37B roles in Oikopleura dioica OE development using CRISPR-Cas9 and scRNA-seq, finding Pax37B is essential for Fol cell differentiation and revealing neuroepithelial-like features.
