## Abstract Marine invertebrates transport amino acids and other organic solutes across their body surfaces. This surface absorption, in some instances, may contribute significantly to the overall nutritional requirements for an organism. Amino acids are accumulated against gradients as high as 10^

## Abstract In marine invertebrates, as in most other organisms, normal development requires that only one sperm nucleus joins with the egg nucleus at fertilization. The principal mechanisms employed are (1) prevention of spermβegg plasma membrane fusion and (2) modifications of the egg extracellul
Many species of sessile marine organisms show allotype-conditional aggression towards conspecifics. However, a recent theoretical analysis (Grosberg & Quinn, 1989, Evolution 43, 504-515.) was unable to find conditions permitting a discriminatory ESS against unconditionally aggressive or non-aggressi
## Abstract Recent studies have provided evidence that uric acid may play a role in the development and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Uric acid is a natural antioxidant that may reduce oxidative stress, a mechanism thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of PD. Higher levels of serum
## Abstract Sperm are attracted by chemical substances which are released by the egg. This process is called chemotaxis. Several molecules that are involved in chemotactic signaling of sperm from marine invertebrates are described and a model of the signaling pathway is presented. We discuss the mo
