  • The icy waters of the Neumeyer Channel on the Antarctica Peninsula, and regions nearby, are home to several species of Antarctic icefish, animals that fit Darwin's phrase, a “wreck of nature.” Unique among vertebrates, icefish lack red blood cells and functional hemoglobin genes, have greatly reduced bone mineralization compared to related fish, and have lost the nearly-ubiquitous inducible heat shock response.

  • The hermaphroditic C. elegans germline generates sperm during larval development, followed by oogenesis in adulthood. This 3D rendering of germline chromatin includes a portion of the distal germline containing oogenic pachytene nuclei (top), as well as a portion of the proximal germline which stores the spermatids (yellow). Katherine McJunkin and Victor Ambros demonstrated that microRNAs act during embryogenesis to promote spermatogenesis and adult fecundity in C. elegans. Image courtesy of Katherine McJunkin.
