As a result of frequent gene duplication and haplotypic variation, a family of immune genes in the model vertebrate zebrafish has thousands of gene copies that are population- or individual-specific.

Supplementing the diet in early life with choline improved memory, neuronal morphology, and neuronal activity in mice with a genetic form of Alzheimer's disease, whereas low choline had mixed effects.
The parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae has evolved both molecular adaptions (venom proteins and teratocytes) and ecological strategies (tolerance of intraspecific and avoidance of interspecific competition) to successfully parasitize Drosophila suzukii.

The newly characterized activity regulating neuropeptide encoding gene Spar is a transcriptional target of the Jeb/Alk receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathway in the Drosophila nervous system.
The protein hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor interacts with microtubules to enhance their stability and recruits TPX2 to promote microtubule emanation in neurons.
Individual performance in rhythm perception and production is maximized within a range of domain-specific rates and is adversely affected by temporal context, and this effect is amplified with age.
In addition to the exon-F-binding domain and the globular tail domain-binding motif, the actin-binding domain of melanophilin interacts with myosin-5a tail region and mediates the association of myosin-5a with melanosomes.
Integrating an innovative community science platform with statistical modelling advances biodiversity monitoring and improves species habitat estimation across diverse taxa, supporting more effective conservation strategies.
