This study identifies an endogenous circadian-like rhythm in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris, independent of light, and links it to ecdysial stages.

The paper identifies an extensive opsin gene expansion in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris, revealing a minimalist eye structure with non-cerebral origin and diverse non-visual photoreceptor functions.

This study identifies and characterizes Cilin, an ancient metazoan intermediate filament protein, showing its role in cilia arrangement and tissue architecture across ctenophores and other animals.

This paper identifies evolutionarily conserved LRR proteins in velvet worm slime that form receptor-like structures, enabling reversible supramolecular network formation in bioadhesive fibers.

This study identifies three PDFs in tardigrades and shows they function as multifunctional hormones and neuromodulators involved in various physiological processes.

The paper analyzes gene and protein domain content changes across 76 arthropod genomes to understand evolutionary patterns and their association with phenotypic adaptations.
