Using an integrated framework combining transcriptomic, morphological, and comparative developmental approaches, we characterize its molecular signatures, cellular architecture, and ontogeny. We show that germline gene–expressing cells adjacent to bacteriocytes fuse to form a multinucleated germline capsule, which subsequently contributes to the presumptive gonads, as revealed by label tracing. Despite harboring endosymbiotic bacteria like bacteriocytes, germline capsules exhibit distinct gene expression profiles. Furthermore, their phenotypic variation is developmentally modulated by bacterial presence. By examining the expression profile of germ-line specific gene (<i>oskar</i>) across multiple <i>Camponotus</i> species, we test the germline function of the capsule and its evolutionary conservation. Based on these findings, we propose a model in which the germline capsule evolved through cell fusion events enabled by developmental plasticity and shaped by interactions between host germline determinants and endosymbiotic bacteria.

Among terrestrial arthropods, isopod crustaceans have evolved a unique air-breathing structure called the pleopodal lung, which is located in their abdominal appendages (pleopods), while retaining pleopodal gills. These lungs offer an intriguing model for studying the evolution of respiratory organs during arthropod terrestrialization. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying lung function or development in isopods remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted comparative transcriptomic analyzes using the common rough woodlouse, <i>Porcellio scaber</i>, in which pleopods with and without lungs are adjacent to each other. The results revealed distinct gene expression profiles linked to the structure and function of pleopods, including genes involved in morphogenesis. In particular, candidate lung development regulatory genes that were expressed specifically in the exopods of the second pleopods during the manca 1 stage were identified. Transcriptome analysis and immunohistochemistry suggested that the Hox gene <i>abdominal-A</i> is involved in lung formation. However, the two genes previously implicated in respiratory organ formation in pancrustaceans, <i>trachealess</i> and <i>ventral veins lacking</i>, did not show lung-related expression. Our comparison of gene expression patterns between exopods with and without lungs suggest that the function of gas exchange in the pleopodal lungs may be influenced by structural differences resulting from changes in developmental processes.

Here we examined the ontogenetic modularity of the skull in the Red Sea anemonefish, <i>Amphiprion bicinctus</i>, across four larval stages, preflexion, flexion, postflexion, and metamorphosis, using micro-CT scanning and 3D geometric morphometrics to assess ontogenetic allometry and modularity. We hypothesized that skull modularity reorganizes during developmental transitions, and that oral jaw elements exhibit strong allometric growth and integration linked to functional demands during larval stages. The mandible, premaxilla, and maxilla exhibited strong size–shape relationships while the lower pharyngeal jaw and parasphenoid were isometric. Morphological disparity peaked at preflexion, suggesting high developmental plasticity early in ontogeny. We tested modularity hypotheses based on developmental and functional interactions and found that the developmental hypotheses were favored across most stages. However, during flexion, a stage characterized by structural reorganization, support shifted to functional hypotheses and then reverted back to developmental hypothesis. This suggests that modular reorganization coincides with key functional transitions. Across all stages, the premaxilla and mandible remained highly integrated, underscoring the need for coordinated oral jaw development during early feeding. Our findings reveal how allometry, modularity, and integration interact during early skull development in a species undergoing rapid developmental and ecological transitions and highlight the functional importance of oral jaw coordination during early feeding.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12083,"journal":{"name":"Evolution & Development","volume":"27 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145603339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the nectochaete stage, the posterior domain of <i>Avi-en</i> expression in the growth zone expanded and split into two due to increased cell proliferation. The postlarval segment primordium then developed progressively, culminating in the activation of <i>Avi-wnt1</i> at the posterior border. According to available published data, the revealed pattern of gradual segment formation is unique to nereidids.

In particular, many marine fish larvae often hatch at an (semi-) embryonic developmental stage, and existential processes, such as digestion and respiration, and structures, such as muscle and skeleton, must form and/or change during the larval development. In this study, we analyzed the gene expression of factors associated with myogenesis, skeletogenesis, and growth within the different larval life stages of Atlantic herring. We evaluated these results in relation to length and stage ratio and performed histological analysis of cross-sections of herring larvae in different stages. Overall, the length per stage ratios showed that there are two major growth periods in larval herring development, the first occurring during the dorsal fin development phase and the second during the transition from caudal fin to pelvic fin development phase. This is consistent with the histological analysis, as an increase in muscle fibers was observed in both phases. The gene expression data also showed that factors responsible for muscle cell lineage determination and fiber development were highest before a period with increased growth. Combining our results with other studies on skeletogenesis, organogenesis, and the development of neural and sensory systems in herring, it becomes evident that other energetically costly developmental processes tend to occur in periods when growth is less prominent.

One approach to this question is to investigate changes in the coordinated expression of a group of genes important for the development of a character of interest (a gene regulatory network). Here we consider the possibility that modifications to the wing gene regulatory network (wGRN), as defined by work primarily done in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>, were involved in the evolution of wing dimorphisms of the pea aphid (<i>Acyrthosiphon pisum</i>). We hypothesize that this may have occurred via changes in expression levels or by duplication followed by divergence of wGRN components. To test this, we annotated members of the wGRN in the pea aphid genome and assessed their expression levels in first and third nymphal instars of winged and wingless morphs of males and asexual females. We find that only 2 of the 32 assessed genes exhibit morph-biased expression. We also find that three wing genes (<i>apterous</i> (<i>ap</i>), <i>warts</i> (<i>wts</i>), and <i>decapentaplegic</i> (<i>dpp</i>)) have undergone gene duplication. In each case, the resulting paralogs show signs consistent with functional divergence, exhibiting either sex-, morph-, or stage-specific expression. Two gene duplicates, <i>wts2</i> and <i>dpp3</i>, are of particular interest with respect to wing dimorphism, as they exhibit male morph-specific isoforms and wingless male-biased expression, respectively. These gene expression results provide an important first step toward identifying members of the pea aphid wGRN that may play a causative role in differentiating winged from wingless morphs.
