DOI: 10.1007/s13744-019-00687-4
Abstract: The Kalotermitidae Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) presents colonies that lack a true worker caste. They have totipotent worker-like individuals named pseudergates. Few studies have characterized the morphology of immature instars, including pseudergates. In order to identify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-98740-z
Abstract: Trilobites, extinct arthropods that dominated the faunas of the Palaeozoic, since their appearance c 523 million years ago, were equipped with elaborate compound eyes. While most of them possessed apposition compound eyes (in trilobites called… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.12541
Abstract: Circadian clock genes in peripheral tissues usually play an important role in regulating the circadian rhythms. Light is the most important environmental signal for synchronizing endogenous rhythms with the daily light‐dark cycle, and compound eyes… read more here.

Probing the conserved roles of cut in the development and function of optically different insect compound eyes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology"
DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2023.1104620
Abstract: Astonishing functional diversity exists among arthropod eyes, yet eye development relies on deeply conserved genes. This phenomenon is best understood for early events, whereas fewer investigations have focused on the influence of later transcriptional regulators… read more here.
