Micro‐computed tomography slices showing budding loci in main branches of eight hornerid species and one crisinid. Arrows show exomural budding loci of lateral autozooids; chambers of recently budded laterals are highlighted in yellow. Gracile taxa (Hornera currieae, Horneridae gen., sp. 1 & 2, and the fenestrate Hornera foliacea) each have a single medial budding locus for laterals; Hornera robusta and H. sp. 1 have multiple budding sites for laterals, and grow wider branches. Budding sites/laminae for frontal autozooids are shown in light blue. In H. currieae and Horneridae gen., sp. 1, budding sites are axial; all other hornerids have paramedial budding laminae. In Calvetia osheai the main branches have widespread, unlocalized endozonal budding (possible newly budded chambers highlighted in blue). The crisinid Mesonea buds all autozooids from a basal budding lamina. Thick secondary calcification was not present at the time of budding. Slices not shown to scale for clarity; slices edited to enhance contrast and remove nonskeletal material

Scheme of interconnected internal and external triggers contributing to coronary heart disease in SR-B1-/-ApoE-R61h/h mouse model. CHD is trigerred by HFC diet. Changes at the cellular and metabolic levels are primarily driven by deficiency for SR-B1 and by reduced levels of ApoE-R61. Modification in the diet further changes lipids/cholesterol metabolism and causes the accumulation of lipids/cholesterol in various cell types. Subsequently, those cells possess even more affected morphology and function, further contributing (more or less) to CHD

The size of atherosclerotic coronary arteries in HFC-fed SR-B1-/-ApoE-R61h/h mice. The arteries with atherosclerotic plaques and thrombi were categorized according to their size. The value of the outer equivalent diameter (OED) was derived from the measurement of outer areas of atherosclerotic arteries which were considered as the safest quantifiable areas. The value of OED determines the diameter of a circle with the same area as the measured object: Eqdia = sqrt (4 × area / π). The measurements (on H&E paraffin sections) were done for 34 low-grade stenotic (< 50% reduction of original luminal area), 36 high-grade stenotic (> 50% reduction of original luminal area), 30 randomly chosen occlusive, and 29 thrombosed arteries

Conceptual approach for predicting population dynamics in response to multiple stressors. Effects on population growth rate (λ) depend on the responses of individual vital rates, which can have complex responses to different stressors, and the sensitivity of λ to each of those vital rates.

Interactions among stressors can be additive, synergistic or antagonistic. (A) The black dashed line indicates a measurement under a control treatment (grey). The light and dark blue bars and arrows represent responses to single stressors A and B, respectively (left of grey line). An additive response (red bar) occurs when the difference between the control and each stressor (C-A and C-B) is equal to their algebraic sum (indicated with the red dashed line). A synergistic interaction (purple) occurs when the combined effect of two stressors is larger than the sum of their individual effects, while an antagonistic interaction (gold) occurs when their combined effects are less than their sum. Synergistic and antagonistic interactions represent non-additive responses. The additive sum provides a null hypothesis that provides a threshold (red dashed line) for distinguishing the two types of non-additive interactions. (B) When the responses to two single stressors A and B are in the same direction, values below their sum represent antagonistic interactions (gold arrows) while values above their sum represent synergistic interactions (purple arrows). (C) However, these categories become complicated when two stressors induce opposing responses, with some studies considering any value above or below the null synergistic versus antagonistic, respectively, while others advocate for positive or negative classifications of these interactions (double-barred arrow in C, with ± indicating positive vs. negative synergy and antagonism) depending on thresholds based on the single stressor responses (blue dashed lines) (cf. Fig. 2 in Piggott et al. 2015).

Multiple stressors can have additive, synergistic or antagonistic interaction effects on long-term population growth rates (λ). In the case of additive interactions, the combined effects of stressor A and stressor B (medium grey arrow; width of the arrows represents combined effect size) on λ equal the sum of their individual effects (medium grey lines). If the interaction between A and B is synergistic, their combined effect on λ will be greater than their sum, exacerbating their single effects (black arrow), while if the interaction between A and B is antagonistic, their combined effects will be less than their sum (light grey arrow), negating the potential negative effects of a single stressor.

(A) Using only two levels of a stressor (points) may oversimplify the shape of a reaction norm in response to stress (dashed curve), potentially missing biologically meaningful responses to stress, whereas (B) adding even one additional level of a stressor may capture more of the underlying shape. (C) However, five points are considered a minimum to fit nonlinear response curves using a regression design (Collins et al. 2022).

An in vivo system for targeting CtBP isoforms to gene promoters using CRISPRi.A) The fly CtBP(L) and CtBP(S) FLAG-tagged coding sequences were fused to the C-terminus of the S. pyogenes nuclease dead Cas9 (dCas9; D10A mutation in RuvC catalytic domain and H840A mutation in HNH catalytic domain), and placed under UAS expression. FLAG-tagged dCas9 was used as a negative control. Vertical lines in dCas9 represent the inactivating mutations. B) Drosophila melanogaster expressing three trangenes were generated for tissue-specific expression of dCas9-CtBP effectors using GAL4-UAS. Flies express dCas9-CtBP chimeras in the nubbin expression pattern (wing pouch of L3 wing discs), with ubiquitous expression of two tandem gRNAs designed to target a single gene’s promoter. Flies used in experiments express one copy of each of the three transgenes. gRNA flies were designed by Harvard TRiP (Zirin et al. 2022).

Targeting CtBP(S) and CtBP(L) to gene promoters leads to diverse phenotypic effects.For all crosses, ~100 wings from ~50 adults were used for analysis. Black arrows indicate the TSS, and red lines indicate gRNA binding sites relative to the target gene’s TSS. A) Using a non-targeting control gRNA (QUAS), expression of one copy of dCas9-CtBP effectors leads to >50% of adult wings with a phenotype, such as supernumerary bristles. Legend is in panel D. B) Targeting the E2F2/Mpp6 bidirectional promoter leads to severe morphological defects observed only from CtBP(S) targeting, with midler effects caused by CtBP(L). gRNA positions are relative to the E2F2 TSS. C) Targeting the InR promoter leads to phenotypes similar to the QUAS non-targeting control, suggesting little or no specific effect on this promoter. D) Targeting the Acf promoter leads to mild phenotypes, some of which are also observed with dCas9 alone, at lower frequency. CtBP isoforms lead to a higher penetrance of phenotypes than dCas9.

C) Targeting dCas9-CtBP(S) led to significant repression of Mpp6 (~50%), and this repression is greater than effects by dCas9 alone. dCas9 alone and dCas9-CtBP(L) led to about 20–25% repression. * p<0.05, ** p<.01
