Regeneration is a basal ancestral property of animals living in aqueous environment where life was generated. The specific life cycles that evolved in each phylum indicate that only adult aquatic animals with asexual reproduction, larval stages and metamorphosis, possess broad regenerative abilities, protostomes or deuterostomes. Regeneration derives from the re-utilization in different forms of numerous developmental gene pathways active during development and the transitional phases of larval metamorphosis. An injured adult animal, composed of differentiated tissues, cannot repeat the same sequence of gene activation of embryogenesis, resulting in a variable regeneration (most aquatic invertebrates and anamiotes). In contrast, species with a genome that is not programmed for producing larvae and intense metamorphosis, mainly terrestrial (numerous nematodes, arthropods and amniotes), cannot regenerate their organs after injury. It is hypothesized that during the evolution of terrestrial animals, they lost genes involved in regeneration so that they repair by wound healing associated with grow (regengrow) or by scarring. Future molecular knowledge on developmental pathways that evolved in regenerating competent animals will tell us whether or not organ regeneration in regenerative incompetent animals will be feasible.","PeriodicalId":50945,"journal":{"name":"Acta Zoologica","volume":"105 3","pages":"263-280"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136134687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cardiac incisure is more prominent in the right lung and is formed by the notched space between the ventral margins of the cranial and middle lobes. The lungs are well-lobated, with complete fissures laterally but none medially. The trachea and primary bronchi are large and have a wide, thin membranous part. The muscular front limbs could limit cranial thoracic expansion, with the result that the bulk of the functional lung capacity is present caudal to the tricipital line.

Moreover, it is assumed that rhopalioids may be homologous to rhopalia of scypho- and cubozoans and provide sensory and integrative functions. Nevertheless, nervous elements associated with rhopalioids are poorly investigated. Thus, we focused on morphological features of rhopalioids in staurozoan Haliclystus auricula James-Clark, 1863 using histological and semithin sections, and also confocal laser scanning microscopy. We described histological organization of rhopalioids and observed four types of epidermal gland cell, which presumably provide the attachment and reattachment to the substrate. Supposedly, the musculature of rhopalioids can also play a role in the attachment and reattachment. We have studied organization of the nervous system in rhopalioids, which includes FMRFamide-, tubulin- and neurotensin-positive nerve clusters and FMRFamide-positive presumptive sensory cells. Based on our results, we assume that rhopalioids, besides the complex attachment, may act like sensory organs and play a role of integrative centres.","PeriodicalId":50945,"journal":{"name":"Acta Zoologica","volume":"105 4","pages":"403-418"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135853651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contrary to lizards, salamanders can fully restore their tails, including the neural spine and components of the vertebral column. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is the vertebrate model organism for regeneration research due to its ease of breeding in captivity. However, axolotls are paedomorphic, retaining larval somatic features throughout adulthood and do not naturally undergo metamorphosis, a transition phase from aquatic larvae to terrestrial adults with profound morphological and physiological changes. We investigate the influence of metamorphosis on salamander tail regeneration after conspecific biting in the metamorphosing sister taxon Ambystoma tigrinum using histological analysis to answer two key questions: (1) Does regeneration continue during metamorphosis, or is it halted? (2) How does regeneration differ histologically among larval, metamorphosing and postmetamorphic individuals? Our findings demonstrate that regeneration continues even during metamorphic climax, indicating the simultaneous coordination of metamorphosis and regeneration. Additionally, notable distinctions were observed between developmental stages concerning the speed of regeneration and structural differences in the formation of an apical epithelial cap (AEC). While the approach taken in this study necessarily restricts sample size, it offers valuable insights into regeneration in a metamorphosing species under natural conditions.","PeriodicalId":50945,"journal":{"name":"Acta Zoologica","volume":"105 4","pages":"450-470"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/azo.12482","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135855401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this study was to check the extrinsic thoracic limb muscles in ten cadavers. Intra- and interspecific anatomical variants were found with that formerly described and other felids. Based on the topology and innervation found in this study, the evolutionary derivation was hypothesized. Therefore, the omotransversarius and rhomboideus muscles are derived from the serratus ventralis cervicis muscle. The cleidobrachialis muscle is derived mainly from the m. deltoideus and accessorily from the supracoracoid muscular group. The pectoantebrachialis and pectoralis abdominalis muscles are derived from the pectoralis descendens and cutaneus trunci muscles, respectively. In conclusion, most extrinsic thoracic limb muscles of F. catus may have evolutionary derivations from the last common ancestor of mammals, while some of them are from the last common ancestor of carnivorans or within the family Felidae.","PeriodicalId":50945,"journal":{"name":"Acta Zoologica","volume":"105 4","pages":"419-438"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72429794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we analysed the breaking position of the tails in individuals and frequencies of tail loss between years, sexes, seasons and populations of the lizard Sceloporus variabilis that inhabit contrasting environments. The results showed a low frequency of tail loss at the ends (distal and proximal) of this organ (except for individuals from the xeric scrubland population) and there was a higher proportion of complete than incomplete tails in lizards for all analysed populations. Also, there was no variation in the frequency of tail loss among populations, sexes (except in one population), years or seasons. A higher proportion of organisms with complete tails suggests that this organ is an important element for these lizards.

Numerous snoRNAs exclusively up-regulated in the regenerating tail but absent in the scarring limb of the lizard Podarcis muralis have been detected suggesting they are key genes for regeneration. While most snord-, snora- and scarna-RNAs are activators of protein synthesis and cell proliferation (oncogenes) some may also be tumour suppressors. A tail blastema of 2–3 mm in length consists of proliferating mesenchymal cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes with active nucleoli, rosette-patterned ribosomes and few rough endoplasmic cisternae. In few days, the blastema grows into a new tail indicating intense protein synthesis within this short period. A quantitative RT-PCR analysis of snord87, snord26, snord74, snora63, scarna11, U2 and U4 shows that, aside snord87, the other ncRNAs are up-regulated, particularly, U2, U4 and scarna11. These ncRNAs might regulate the rate of production of ribosomes from the nucleolus (snora- and snord-RNAs), the splicing process (snord- and scarna-RNAs, U2 and U4), the speed of protein synthesis (snora- and snord-RNAs) and cell proliferation in the blastema.
