At moderate densities, small mammalian herbivores can enhance livestock weight gains by suppressing toxic plants and improving both the abundance and nutritional quality of palatable forage in rangelands.
Layer 6b neurons shape state-dependent brain rhythms and responses to orexin, revealing an underappreciated cortical mechanism that may help explain disrupted sleep-wake regulation in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders more broadly.
In complex life cycle taxa, the relationship between functional traits and threat status varies across developmental stages, making adult‑based threat predictions insufficient to reflect risks faced during other life stages.

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep organizes sparse, sequential cortical reactivation through chains of prefrontal high-frequency oscillations coupled to hippocampal theta, an inter-regional dialogue distinct from that of non-REM ripples.
