Evolutionary adaptations in the Syngnathidae teleost family (seahorses, pipefish and
seadragons) culminated in an array of spectacular morphologies, key immune gene losses …

Viviparity has originated independently more than 150 times in vertebrates, while the male
pregnancy only emerged in Syngnathidae fishes, such as seahorses. The typical male …

Syngnathids (a bony fish family that includes seahorses, pipefishes and seadragons) have
unique morphological and biological traits that include fused jaws, an exoskeleton and male …

This study aimed to investigate the taxonomic and functional patterns of the microbiome
associated with Barbour's seahorse (Hippocampus barbouri) using a combination of …

Fish inhabit microbial-and parasite-enriched environments that constrict the adaptive
choices and evolutionary pathways of regulatory physiological systems. Teleost immune …

Natural occurrences of immunodeficiency by definition should lead to compromised immune
function. The major histocompatibility complexes (MHC) are key components of the …

Abstract β‐Catenin (CTNNB) is a core downstream mediator in the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling
pathway, which plays a role in immune regulation and cell differentiation. In the present …

Abstract Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) is a key enzyme in the phase-II detoxification
process and is a biomarker of oxidative stress. In this study, we analyzed the molecular …

Since the opening of the economy, China's regional economy has developed rapidly, the
