The genus Braasch & Soldán, 1980 is accepted here in a wide sense, i.e., including Waltz & McCafferty, 1987. This genus concept is similar to the concept of the genus Harker, 1957 proposed by Salles et al. (2016), but with the generic name instead of . The type species of , Harker, 1957, has an unknown systematic position; the neotype designation proposed by Suter and Pearson (2001) is invalid, being inconsistent with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; the species name and the generic name are , so the name is the senior name for the genus under consideration. The generic names and Salles, Gattolliat & Sartori, 2016 both are junior synonyms of (). The subgenera , and proposed by Salles et al. (2016) are unnatural. The following new combinations are proposed: (Marle, Salles & Gattolliat, 2016) , (Shi & Tong, 2019) , (Tong & Dudgeon, 2003) , (Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, 1998) , (Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, 1998) , (Crass, 1947) , (Marle, Salles & Gattolliat, 2016) , (Sroka, Godunko & Gattolliat, in Sroka et al. 2019) , (Shi & Tong, 2019) , (Shi & Tong, 2019) and (Agnew, 1961) The two Australian species, and , differ from each other in the shape of tergalii; corrections to the original description of are given based on re-examination of the holotype and paratypes; details of larval structures of are figured. Corrections to the former descriptions of the South African species and are given. Examination of type material led to the discovery that the original description of the Oriental species Soldán, Braasch & Muu, 1987 was based on two different species: the descriptions of imago and subimago belong to Braasch & Soldán, 1980 (the type species of ), and the description of larva belongs to a different species, which we describe here as The holotype of , a larva, should be considered lost; based on the date of collection, it belonged to ; a set of larval exuviae with the same collecting data as the holotype, is designated as the neotype of , and a new synonymy is established: = The larvae originally assigned to are placed to a new species belonging to the - species group; all stages of development of this species are described based on male and female imagines reared from larvae in Thailand and on the misidentified paratypes of from Vietnam. is redescribed based on the single paratype from China, the neotype and paratypes of from Vietnam, and additional material from India. Additional data on the holotype of Soldán, Braasch & Muu, 1987 are given.

Background: Malrotation of the bowel due to imperfect embryologic development is a rare condition with a wide spectrum of resulting anatomical variations. Similar conditions are achieved in the adult by derotating the bowel via the Cattell-Braasch maneuver. However, possible preparational bias might compromise the resulting topography.

Repeated evolution of novel life histories that are correlated with ecological variables offers opportunities to study convergence in genetic, developmental, and metabolic features. Nearly half of the 800 species of Aplocheiloid killifishes, a clade of teleost fishes with a circumtropical distribution, are "annual" or seasonal species that survive in ephemeral bodies of water that desiccate and are unfeasible for growth, reproduction, or survival for weeks to months every year. But the repeated evolution of adaptations that are key features of the annual life history among these fishes remains poorly known without a robust phylogenetic framework.

Research organisms provide invaluable insights into human biology and diseases, serving as essential tools for functional experiments, disease modeling, and drug testing. However, evolutionary divergence between humans and research organisms hinders effective knowledge transfer across species. Here, we review state-of-the-art methods for computationally transferring knowledge across species, primarily focusing on methods that utilize transcriptome data and/or molecular networks.

Chemicals often require metabolic activation to become genotoxic. Established test guidelines recommend the use of the rat liver S9 fraction or microsomes to introduce metabolic competence to cell-based bioassays, but the use of animal-derived components in cell culture raises ethical concerns and may lead to quality issues and reproducibility problems. The aim of the present study was to compare the metabolic activation of cyclophosphamide (CPA) and benzo[]pyrene (BaP) by induced rat liver microsomes and an abiotic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme based on a biomimetic porphyrine catalyst.

In vertebrates, maternally supplied yolk is typically used in one of two ways: either intracellularly by endodermal cells or extracellularly via the yolk sac. This study delves into the distinctive gut development in sturgeons, which are among the most ancient extant fish groups, contrasting it with that of other vertebrates. Our observations indicate that while sturgeon endodermal cells form the archenteron (i.
