To help elucidate the reproductive characteristics of the Atlantic snow crab Chionoecetes opilio, the functional anatomy of the male reproductive system and the female spermatheca was investigated ...

The structure and function of the reproductive tracts of the spider crab Inachus phalangium were investigated, focusing on sperm transfer, sperm storage in the seminal receptacles, and spawning. Males ...

Reproduction and dispersal are key aspects of species life history that influence spatial genetic structure in populations. Several ant species in the genus Cataglyphis have evolved a unique breeding ...

Researchers have recently identified and described a new genus and species of xanthid crab found in Okinawa Island, Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Named Mabui calculus, it is the first among the 7,800 species ...

BOSTON — So-called “organs on a chip” — small blobs of tissue growing in lab dishes that mimic the function of their human counterparts — have promise for basic science and drug development. And those ...

Growing tissue from cells in a petri dish is hard enough, but growing multiple types of tissue, connecting them, and keeping them alive for weeks is even more daunting. A team led by Teresa K.

A recent review published in Clinical Anatomy highlights evidence that the female clitoris is important for reproduction. The review notes that stimulating the clitoris activates the brain to cause a ...

Scientists say they've made a device in the lab that can mimic the human female reproductive cycle. The researchers hope the device, assembled from living tissue, will lead to new treatments for many ...
