A defensive behavior and plant-insect interaction in Early Cretaceous amber – The case of the immature lacewing Hallucinochrysa diogenesi by La Fuente, R, Delclòs, X, Peñalver, E, Engel, MS

“…Amber holds special paleobiological significance due to its ability to preserve direct evidence of biotic interactions and animal behaviors for millions of years. Here we review the finding of Hallucinochrysa diogenesi Pérez-de la Fuente, Delclòs, Peñalver and Engel, 2012, a morphologically atypical larva related to modern green lacewings (Insecta: Neuroptera) that was described in Early Cretaceous amber from the El Soplao outcrop (northern Spain). …”

The transforming growth factor beta ligand TIG-2 modulates the function of neuromuscular junction and muscle energy metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans by Xinran Cheng, Zhenzhen Yan, Zhenzhen Yan, Zexiong Su, Jie Liu

“…Here, we investigate the function of TIG-2, one of the ligands in Caenorhabditis elegans TGF-β family, in animals’ behavioral modulation. Our results show that a loss-of-function mutation in tig-2 gene result in slower locomotion speed in the early adulthood and an increased density of cholinergic synapses, but a decreased neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). …”
