Although polarized light can assist many animals in performing special visual tasks, current polarized light pollution (PLP) caused by urban construction has been shown to induce maladaptive behaviors of PL-sensitive animals and change ecological interactions. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our previous work hypothesized that linearly polarized light (LPL) is an ecological trap for Oratosquilla oratoria, a common Stomatopoda species in the China Sea.

Article Synopsis
  • The mid-band ommatidium in the mantis shrimp's compound eye allows it to uniquely recognize circularly polarized light (CPL), but the species Oratosquilla oratoria may have diminished this ability due to a reduced number of these structures.
  • Research examined how O. oratoria responds to different types of polarized light, showing a specific order of preference from natural light to left-circularly polarized light (LCPL) and highlighting a potential inability to respond to right-circularly polarized light (RCPL).
  • The findings reveal the genetic mechanisms involved in O. oratoria's light response, emphasizing the roles of genes and proteins related to opsin and microvilli, contributing new insights into the evolution of polarized light vision.

The mantis shrimp is the only animal that can recognize circularly polarized light (CPL), but its molecular genetic characteristics are unclear. Multi-tissue level full-length (FL) transcriptome sequencing of Oratosquilla oratoria, a representative widely distributed mantis shrimp, was performed in the present study. We used comparative transcriptomics to explore the critical genes of O.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how cultured organisms respond to viral stress, particularly focusing on immune regulation as wild resources decline and disease becomes more prevalent in high-density cultures.
  • Researchers used RNA sequencing to analyze changes in the liver and spleen of the organism during poly (I:C) stimulation, noting significant increases in differentially expressed genes (DEGs) as the stimulation duration increased.
  • Findings revealed that both the liver and spleen have tissue-specific responses to viral challenges, suggesting mechanisms such as cell apoptosis, immune enzyme activity enhancement, and energy supply increase, paving the way for better prevention strategies in artificial cultures against viral diseases.

The investigation of intestinal microbiota can provide evidence for revealing the growth and development regulation, feeding habits, environmental adaptability and pollutant indication of marine organisms. To data, the intestinal microbiota of marine organisms in the South China Sea is relatively lacking. To supplement these information, we sequenced intestinal microbiota from five fishery resources (including Auxis rochei, A.

Some cold-water fishes are particularly sensitive to the water temperature increasing caused by current global warming. However, the alterations in the physiology and behavior of infraspecific populations living in heterogeneous landscapes in response to water temperature increasing were significantly different. Consequently, understanding the impact of temperature increasing on different populations may be crucial for the conservation of cold-water fishes in the context of global warming.

Interleukin (IL)-11 is a multifunctional cytokine belonging to the IL-6 family, which plays essential roles in immune response. However, much less is known about the immunological functions of IL-11 in teleost. In this study, we investigated the immune properties of a teleost IL-11 homologue (CsIL-11) from tongue sole Cynoglossus semilaevis.

Understanding the genetic diversity and habitat adaptation patterns of different geographic populations of marine organisms is essential for the rational maintenance, development, and utilization of their resources. Pampus minor Liu and Li 1998 is an economically valuable marine fish species. To determine the population genetic structure and elucidate the genetic mechanism underlying the habitat adaptation of this species, restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) was used to scan the whole genomes of three P.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied the genetic differences in three populations of Oratosquilla oratoria using advanced sequencing techniques, identifying 2403 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
  • Significant genetic variation was found between O. oratoria populations from the Yellow Sea and East China Sea, with 63 SNPs linked to temperature adaptation.
  • The study suggests that long-term temperature differences may influence genes related to key biological functions, enhancing our understanding of how these organisms adapt to varying environmental temperatures.

Low temperature reduction is thought to cause widespread effects on the physical and behavioral traits of marine organisms, which include metabolic processes, immune responses, and reproductive behavior. Crustaceans are generally considered sensitive to temperature reduction due to the lack of efficient regulators. To better understand the molecular regulatory mechanisms of crustacean exposure to cold stress, Japanese mantis shrimp (Oratosquilla oratoria) was chosen as a representative crustacean.

Crustaceans are generally considered more sensitive to ocean warming due to their lack of certain efficient regulators. However, the alterations in the physiology and behavior of crustaceans in response to thermal stress differ vastly even among the infraspecific populations of heterogeneous landscapes. Consequently, understanding the impact of temperature fluctuation on crustacean infraspecific populations might be essential for maintaining a sustainable persistence of populations at existing locations.
