Host-associated microbiomes often change considerably in response to environmental variation, and these shifts could facilitate host phenotypic plasticity, adaptation, or rescue populations from extinction. However, it is unclear whether changes in microbiome composition contribute to host phenotypic plasticity, limiting our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of plasticity and, ultimately, the fate of populations inhabiting changing environments. In this study, we examined the phenotypic responses and microbiome composition of 20 genetically distinct Daphnia magna genotypes exposed to non-toxic and toxic diets containing Microcystis, a cosmopolitan cyanobacterium and common stressor for Daphnia. Daphnia exhibited significant plasticity in survival, reproduction and population growth rates upon exposure to Microcystis. However, the effects of Microcystis exposure on the Daphnia microbiome were limited, with the primary effect being differences in abundance observed across five bacterial families. Moreover, there was no significant correlation between the magnitude of microbiome shifts and host phenotypic plasticity. Our results suggest that microbiome composition played a negligible role in driving host phenotypic plasticity or microbiome-mediated rescue.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"292 2044","pages":"20250365"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11978444/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143812148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, the long-term evolutionary consequences of marine carbonate changes are not well understood. This article compares calcareous and non-calcareous responses to ocean chemistry changes throughout the Phanerozoic Eon (541 million years ago to present). To accomplish this, we calculated proportional wall-type diversity, origination rates and extinction rates for 2282 benthic foraminiferal genera. Calcareous origination and extinction rates fluctuated throughout the Palaeozoic Era (541-251.9 million years ago), but during the Mesozoic Era (251.9-66 million years ago), calcareous origination and extinction rates stabilized following the evolution of pelagic calcifiers. Despite variations in Cenozoic Era (66-0 million years ago) foraminifera diversity, calcareous wall types maintained around 77% proportional diversity. Although calcareous wall-type extinction rates decline during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, Phanerozoic foraminifera wall-type changes during individual events are largely contingent upon contemporaneous conditions rather than overarching trends. Of the Big Five mass extinction events, calcareous wall-type proportions only decreased at the end-Permian (73% to 26% diversity) and end-Triassic (56% to 50% diversity). These results suggest long-term ocean chemistry changes were not the main driver of foraminiferal wall-type diversity through time.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"292 2044","pages":"20250221"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11979970/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143812087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Morphological segments are formed during embryogenesis, through a complex procedure involving the activation of a series of gene regulatory networks. The segments of the arthropod body are organized into functional units known as tagmata, and these tagmata are different among the arthropod classes (e.g. head, thorax and abdomen in insects). Based on embryological work on segment generation in a number of arthropod species, coupled with a survey of classical descriptions of arthropod development, I suggest a new framework for the evolution of arthropod tagmata. The ancestral condition involves three developmental tagmata: the pre-gnathal segments, a tagma that is formed within a pre-existing developmental field and a tagma that is formed through the activity of a segment-addition zone that may be embryonic or post-embryonic. These embryonic tagmata may fuse post-embryonically to generate more complex adult tagmata. This framework is consistent with the evolution of tagmosis seen in the early arthropod fossil record. It also calls for a re-thinking of the decades-old division of arthropod development into short-germ versus long-germ development, a re-thinking of questions of segment identity determination and the role of Hox genes in tagma differentiation.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"292 2045","pages":"20242950"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12001983/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a great deal of the evidence for this comes from experiments conducted on an uneven playing field-in substrates containing soil biota from the non-native ranges of the exotics, which should give them a competitive advantage. In competition experiments with nine pairs of non-native invasive versus native species in neutral substrates composed of sterilized soil, we found that the competitive effect of invasive species on natives was approximately five times greater than the reverse, and gram-per-gram competitive effects of invasives on natives were almost two times that of the natives on invasives. The effect of plant size on competitive outcomes was complex. The size of invasive species correlated with their effects on natives but not with their tolerance to competition from natives. The size of natives was not correlated with either aspect of competitive ability. This is important since the tolerance of invaders to competition from natives is thought to be essential for successful invasion.

In this study, we examined the metabolic requirements and nutrient outputs of the estuarine crocodile population (Crocodylus porosus) in northern Australia over a 50-year period, during which the population increased from a few thousand to over 100 000 individuals. Bioenergetic modelling showed that during this period, the crocodile population's annual prey consumption increased from <20 kg km-2 in 1979 to approximately 180 kg km-2 in 2019. Further, the prey consumption increase was accompanied by a significant dietary shift from predominantly aquatic prey (approx. 65% in 1979) to a terrestrial-based diet (approx. 70% in 2019). A substantial portion of these terrestrial-derived nutrients was excreted into the water, significantly increasing the input rates of nitrogen (186-fold) and phosphorus (56-fold). The study shows that, despite being ectothermic, the high biomass of crocodiles within the environment generated nutrient inputs comparable to terrestrial endothermic predator populations. While crocodiles are apex predators, they are not considered to influence ecosystems in the same manner that large-bodied endothermic predators do. However, in the oligotrophic freshwater systems of northern Australia, the large volume of crocodile biomass is likely to impact the ecosystem through top-down and bottom-up processes.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"292 2042","pages":"20242260"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11896701/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143606053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the evolutionary significance of fluorescence in these coral-dwelling decapods, we combined a multivariate examination of 27 fluorescent morphological traits with phylogenomic analysis across 14 crab genera from the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. Fluorescence first evolved in the genus Opecarcinus and was subsequently retained showing varying levels of expression. We identified four distinct fluorescent morphologies (fluotypes) with high phenotypic variability, some of which show distinct distributions across the phylogeny. Along with differences in the crabs' microhabitats, these findings suggest that fluorescence may be shaped by selective pressures, such as visibility to potential viewers, and could thus play a role in camouflage, aiding concealment against complex coral reef backgrounds. This study provides a deeper understanding of evolutionary dynamics in cryptochirids and introduces a new workflow, providing guidance for future research on fluorescence in marine invertebrates. Further research into behavioural functions and fluorophore identification are required to explain the observed variability in Cryptochiridae.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"292 2042","pages":"20242403"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11896703/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143606050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated how heat stress impacts parental care and offspring performance in the burying beetle Nicrophorus nepalensis under control (17.8°C) and heat stress (21.8°C) conditions. We focused on two critical periods: pre-hatching care (carcass preparation) and post-hatching care (offspring provisioning). To disentangle the vulnerability of these parental care components to heat stress, we reciprocally transferred carcasses prepared under control or heat stress to females breeding under both conditions. Heatwaves affecting only one care period did not alter reproduction, but when both pre- and post-hatching periods experienced heatwaves, reproductive success declined. Females exhibited higher energy expenditure during provisioning, evidenced by greater body mass loss. Notably, heat stress had long-lasting effects on offspring via carcass preparation, resulting in smaller adult size and higher mortality. These results highlight the complexity of environmental stressors on parental care, suggesting that different care components may respond differently to heat stress, and thus need to be examined separately to better understand how parental care responds to, and buffers against, temperature stress.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"292 2042","pages":"20250026"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11881022/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143557816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the Salient Aroma Hypothesis, herbivores active during periods when chemical information is abundant, particularly during the daytime hours when plant aromas are hypothesized to be more prevalent, are more likely to evolve specialized diets. First, with meta-analysis, we show that plants release more diverse and abundant volatile compounds during daylight hours, increasing the availability of chemical information. We found that diurnal Lepidoptera tend to have specialized diets, while nocturnal species are more generalized, consistent with the prediction of the Salient Aroma Hypothesis. We further observed that morphological differences in the antennae of female Lepidoptera are correlated with variation in diet breadth and diel activity patterns, indirectly supporting the Salient Aroma Hypothesis.
