The Arabian Sea is a region of elevated productivity with the highest globally recorded fluxes of particulate organic matter (POM) to the deep ocean, providing an abundant food source for fauna at the seafloor. However, benthic communities are also strongly influenced by an intense oxygen minimum zone (OMZ), which impinges on the continental slope from 100 to 1000 m water depth. We compared the...

Understanding how natural populations adapt to their local environments is a major research theme for ecological genomics. This endeavour begins by sleuthing for shared genetic similarities among unrelated natural populations sharing adaptive traits to documented selective pressures. When the selective pressures have low dimensionality, and the genetic response is localized to a few genes of ma...

It is generally accepted that the hatching of mouse blastocysts is accompanied by regional dissolution of the zona pellucida by a trypsin-like proteinase synthesized in trophectoderm cells (Perona and Wassarman, 1986; Hogan et al., 1994), and trophectoderm cells protrude from the dissolved hole of the zona pellucida (Orsini and McLaren, 1967; McLaren, 1970; Niimura and Fujii, 1997). Then a slit...
