Ancient feeding-related neuropeptides regulate alloparenting in ants

Abstract Alloparental care and division of labour are hallmarks of insect societies1. Social insect workers typically care for brood within the nest when they are young and transition to foraging outside the nest as they age2,3,4,5. This provides a powerful paradigm to study the neural basis of parenting and age-related behavioural change. Although previous work has interrogated aspects of these dynamics6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14, the underlying neural and molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Developmental, regenerative, and behavioral dynamics in acoel reproduction

|
By Vikram Chandra, Samantha Elizabeth Tseng, Allison P Kann
| eLife
eLife Assessment Xenacoelomorpha is an enigmatic phylum, displaying various presumably simple or ancestral bilaterian features. This valuable study characterises the reproductive life history of Hofstenia miamia, a member of class Acoela in this phylum. The authors describe the morphology and development of the reproductive system, its changes upon degrowth and regeneration, and the animals' egg-laying behaviour.

Reproductive life history of an acoel worm

|
By Vikram Chandra, D. Marcela Bolanos, Samantha Elizabeth Tseng, Allison P Kann
| BioRxiv
Abstract Acoel worms belong to an enigmatic and understudied animal lineage (Phylum Xenacoelomorpha). Sparse taxonomic and histological work suggests that these worms exhibit a diversity of reproductive anatomies and likely also a corresponding diversity in reproductive behavior. However, few acoels have been studied in detail.
