    Major patterns in the introgression history of Heliconius butterflies

    Yuttapong Thawornwattana, Fernando Seixas ... James Mallet
    The full-likelihood multispecies coalescent approach is useful for studying species groups with high rates of introgression from whole-genome sequence data.

    Estimating the contribution of subclinical tuberculosis disease to transmission: An individual patient data analysis from prevalence surveys

    Jon C Emery, Peter J Dodd ... Rein MGJ Houben
    Data analysis and mathematical modelling suggest that subclinical tuberculosis contributes substantially to transmission and needs to be diagnosed and treated for effective progress towards tuberculosis elimination.

    Mouthparts of the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) exhibit poor acuity for the detection of pesticides in nectar

    Rachel H Parkinson, Jennifer Scott ... Geraldine A Wright
    Bees are at risk of consuming harmful pesticides found in nectar because they cannot detect them using their mouthparts.

    Ice nucleation proteins self-assemble into large fibres to trigger freezing at near 0 °C

    Thomas Hansen, Jocelyn Lee ... Peter L Davies
    Self-assembly of bacterial ice nucleation proteins is required for efficient activity and is mediated by electrostatic interactions, creating long and thin fibres.

    Zn2+ is essential for Ca2+ oscillations in mouse eggs

    Hiroki Akizawa, Emily M Lopes, Rafael A Fissore
    Throughout oocyte maturation, there is a simultaneous elevation in the concentrations of Ca2+ and Zn2+, and the fertilization-induced Ca2+ oscillations cease under Zn2+-deficient conditions, implying an interplay between these ions, potentially at the IP3R1 level that harbors a Zn2+-binding domain.
