Background:  Day-night behavioral variation is observed in most organisms, and is generally controlled by circadian clocks and/or synchronization to environmental cues. Hydra species, which are freshwater cnidarians, are thought to lack the core clock genes that form transcription-translation feedback loops in clock systems. In this study, we examined whether hydras exhibit diel rhythms in terms of behavior and gene expression levels without typical clock genes.

Results:  We found that the total behavior of hydras was elevated during the day and decreased at night under a 12-h light-dark cycle. Polyp contraction frequency, one component of behavior, exhibited a clear diel rhythm. However, neither total behavior nor polyp contraction frequency showed rhythmic changes under constant light and constant dark conditions. To identify the genes underlying diel behavior, we performed genome-wide transcriptome analysis of hydras under light-dark cycles. Using three different analytic algorithms, we found that 380 genes showed robust diel oscillations in expression. Some of these genes shared common features with diel cycle genes of other cnidarian species with endogenous clock systems.

Conclusion:  Hydras show diel behavioral rhythms under light-dark cycles despite the absence of canonical core clock genes. Given the functions of the genes showing diel oscillations in hydras and the similarities of those genes with the diel cycle genes of other cnidarian species with circadian clocks, it is possible that diel cycle genes play an important role across cnidarian species regardless of the presence or absence of core clock genes under light-dark cycles.

Most animals co-exist with diverse host-associated microbial organisms that often form complex communities varying between individuals, habitats, species and higher taxonomic levels. Factors driving variation in the diversity of host-associated microbes are complex and still poorly understood. Here, we describe the bacterial composition of field-collected Hydra, a freshwater cnidarian that forms stable associations with microbial species in the laboratory and displays complex interactions with components of the microbiota. We sampled Hydra polyps from 21 Central European water bodies and identified bacterial taxa through 16S rRNA sequencing. We asked whether diversity and taxonomic composition of host-associated bacteria depends on sampling location, habitat type, host species or host reproductive mode (sexual vs. asexual). Bacterial diversity was most strongly explained by sampling location, suggesting that the source environment plays an important role in the assembly of bacterial communities associated with Hydra polyps. We also found significant differences between host species in their bacterial composition that partly mirrored variations observed in lab strains. Furthermore, we detected a minor effect of host reproductive mode on bacterial diversity. Overall, our results suggest that extrinsic (habitat identity) factors predict the diversity of host-associated bacterial communities more strongly than intrinsic (species identity) factors, however, only a combination of both factors determines microbiota composition in Hydra.

Greetings everyone!Season 20 was the birth season of a new playstyle, viable for every content and competing with Archon play style. Archon has been explained in detail in the past dozen seasons it was the best/only viable build. As hydra playstyle is fairly new, I see everyone keep asking questions about hydras and icyveins' guides are outdated and in some places even got wrong information.As of now, I am rank 11 on the hardcore seasonal Europe ladder. Without further introductions, let's get to the guide:

What are hydras? Hydra is one of the spells in wizard arsenal. It counts as a pet, so it gains all pet bonuses. Also, hydra benefits from your attack speed, with higher attack speed equipped, it earns higher attack speed as well. There are 2 types of hydras, one headed which is only the Mammoth Hydra rune and multi-headed Hydras which are all the other runes. By default multi-headed hydras have 3 heads each, but Typhon's Veil set increases that number to 5 heads per hydra.

If you get almost 100 yards away from your hydras, they will stop attacking. That is almost one and a half screen. If you cast hydras on their maximum range, they won't detect enemies you haven't seen yet, so even if they are in attacking range, they won't attack the targets you haven't seen.

Sub 2 minute builds are aimed to clear a low greater rift as fast as possible, mostly for upgrading gems for augmentation. As our DPS rises so high, t16 falls into this category as well. So you can use these builds for speed bounties and key farms as well.Sub 2 builds are a bit squishy, so I don't suggest taking out Unstable Anomaly out. If you find yourself dying a lot but the damage is enough for that level, replace nemesis with Ashnagar bracers until you fix toughness problems in your gear.Each hydra rune brings something new to the table, lightning is the fastest rune in rifts they almost one-shot mobs and elites. When they don't one-shot any more, you should switch to either frost or arcane.

Lightning hydra: This rune got the least attention this season because it doesn't do any kind of area damage. But it can give you consistent sub 1:30 runs if you do it on the correct greater rift levels.Basically you want your hydras to one-shot everything. This build is a range build because you are constantly jumping forward, leaving your hydras behind you, only stopping/coming back to pick orbs. You use black hole mostly on elites to get more damage.Gameplay footage: :

Frost Hydra: This rune is the most picked rune with Typhon's veil because it has the highest DPS and also the highest area of effectiveness between multithreaded hydras. This build is a melee build, so you wanna stay near elites until they die. Usage of black hole is the same as lightning hydra, we just switch to Absolute zero rune because it lasts longer.Gameplay footage: :

Arcane hydra: Arguably the same as frost hydra in speed runs because you are one-shotting everything anyway. No gameplay footage for this build as it is exactly the same as frost counter-part.For gear you go for Arcane elemental damage. You should take Arcane hydra and Blackhole spell steal and the rest are the same as frost hydra.

Mammoth hydra: I haven't used it in any of my speed runs as their attacks have a slow animation and it won't kill until it reaches the target. But you can take out death wish out of LoD build, replace Aquila with cindercoat, replace orb of infinite depth with Pride's fall and Etched sigil with Cosmic strand and it will work like any other speed build.

Frost hydra: I have not used Typhon's Veil for pushing this season so I don't have the decent gear to show a good example. But the gear looks like this: gear is taken from a guy clearing greater rift rank 123 on Europe Hardcore seasonal with this build. The build has the potential to do even higher.All credits go to him.

LoD Mammoth hydra: This is the hot build this season, currently giving the highest DPS while providing near immortality. The playstyle is the same as Frost hydra with the exception of this one can face tank way more things than any Typhon builds. As you will see in the video footage, I face tank molten explosions (Even do it on push runs if the situation is good, aka I have channeled for at least 3 seconds)The video footage: : Please remember that this is not a push, I am doing 3 tiers lower than my push level. It is aimed to just show you how to play the build in higher greater rifts. Pushing is another story that needs another in-depth guide to cover it in detail.

Enforcer: As for legendary gems, you would think Enforcer is the "to-go" gem for any pet build, but that's not completely true for hydras as hydras don't take damage. So it's just the damage increase.It adds a flat damage increase to your hydras, But it has exactly the same number as Bane of The Trapped. So you can change Enforcer for Bane of The Trapped on special occasions I will explain below.

Bane of The Trapped: A really good gem with a really good secondary affix. The slow helps you with survival as chilled enemies attack slower, the chill effect stacks with the chill from frost nova cast by hydras. Also unlike Enforcer, this gem will increase the damage of ALL your spells, especially useful in LoD builds.

Bane of The Trapped + Taeguk + Bane of The Stricken: in really high push rifts where you start fishing. Bane of The Trapped is applied to all your frost hydras' attacks, and arcane hydra is nowhere near viable for this tier. Also, this build is squishier than LoD, so you need the reduction in trash's attack speed from the chill effect as a bonus to your toughness. The rest have the same logic as the LoD build of the same tier. You can change Bane of The Stricken for Enforcer here as well, the same logic applies to it.

One thing I did think about a little was colour variation. This is a subject I often end up talking with intermediate painters who are looking to improve their work to the next level. While painting shadows and highlights on an area adds some variation and visual interest, it only does so much. If you look at something the size of the hydra, or even a cloak or large expanse of skin, it gets a little samey to look at if the only variation is a difference between the dark, midtone, and light areas.

There are a number of different techniques you can use to add some colour variation to areas. I talked about a couple of methods in a Reaper Toolbox video I recently completed. Michael Proctor is a master of colour use, and he also has a recent Toolbox video where he talks about some of his techniques.

In the case of the hydra, I relied primarily on shifting the colours used to paint the lights and shadows, as in the middle photo of the example above. I added a little more visual interest to things by shifting the direction of the light to one side of the figure, and using some colour contrasts in my (eventual) paint choices. I visualized the light as bright sunlight streaming from the direction of the tip of the tail. This created a situation where one side of the creature would appear more in light, and the other side more in shadow, with some interesting interplay of light and shadow on the necks. e24fc04721
