TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of autophagy, the types of autphagy, its regulation and its known impact on development gleaned primarily from murine models.

TL;DR: It is found that compromised autophagy within the perinatal ovary, through the loss of Becn1 or Atg7, results in the premature loss of female germ cells.

TL;DR: It is suggested that upregulation of a single pro‐apoptotic factor of the Bcl‐2 family is sufficient to initiate apoptosis of functionally differentiated mammary epithelial cells in vivo.

TL;DR: It is shown that some crocodylians modify skin coloration in response to changing light and environmental conditions, and the inclusion of the Malayan gharial in the Family Gavialidae and the shift of the African slender-snouted crocodile from the genus Crocodylus to the monophyletic genus Mecistops is supported.
