Herbert A, Allard C, McCoy M, Wucherpfennig J, Krueger S, Chen H, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2024 Sep;
34(19):4339-4348.e6.
PMID: 39332403
A critical question in biology is how new traits evolve, but studying this in wild animals remains challenging. Here, we probe the genetic basis of trait gain in sea robin...

Allard C, Herbert A, Krueger S, Liang Q, Walsh B, Rhyne A, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2024 Sep;
34(19):4349-4356.e7.
PMID: 39332400
How do animals evolve new traits? Sea robins are fish that possess specialized leg-like appendages used to "walk" along the sea floor. Here, we show that legs are bona fide...

Valencia-Montoya W, Pierce N, Bellono N
Annu Rev Cell Dev Biol
. 2024 Jul;
40(1):353-379.
PMID: 38985841
Sensory receptors are at the interface between an organism and its environment and thus represent key sites for biological innovation. Here, we survey major sensory receptor families to uncover emerging...

Elife
. 2023 Oct;
12.
PMID: 37906220
Jellyfish and sea anemones fire single-use, venom-covered barbs to immobilize prey or predators. We previously showed that the anemone uses a specialized voltage-gated calcium (Ca) channel to trigger stinging in...

Allard C, Valencia-Montoya W, Bellono N
Curr Biol
. 2023 Oct;
33(20):R1081-R1082.
PMID: 37875087
Allard et al. describe the remarkable 'taste by touch' abilities of cephalopods, in particular octopuses.
6.
Herbert A, Allard C, McCoy M, Wucherpfennig J, Krueger S, Chen H, et al.
bioRxiv
. 2023 Oct;
PMID: 37873105
A major goal in biology is to understand how organisms evolve novel traits. Multiple studies have identified genes contributing to regressive evolution, the loss of structures that existed in a...

Curr Biol
. 2023 Jul;
33(13):R704-R706.
PMID: 37433267
Allard et al. provide an overview of sea robins, a group of benthic fish that have evolved leg-like appendages that they use to walk on the sea floor and find...

Allard C, Kang G, Kim J, Valencia-Montoya W, Hibbs R, Bellono N
Nature
. 2023 Apr;
616(7956):373-377.
PMID: 37045920
Chemotactile receptors (CRs) are a cephalopod-specific innovation that allow octopuses to explore the seafloor via 'taste by touch'. CRs diverged from nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to mediate contact-dependent chemosensation of insoluble...

Kang G, Allard C, Valencia-Montoya W, van Giesen L, Kim J, Kilian P, et al.
Nature
. 2023 Apr;
616(7956):378-383.
PMID: 37045917
The evolution of new traits enables expansion into new ecological and behavioural niches. Nonetheless, demonstrated connections between divergence in protein structure, function and lineage-specific behaviours remain rare. Here we show...
