    Mapping imported malaria in Bangladesh using parasite genetic and human mobility data

    Hsiao-Han Chang, Amy Wesolowski ... Caroline Buckee
    Human mobility drives malaria importation within countries and threatens elimination interventions, but can be measured using new approaches that combine parasite genetics, mobile phone data, travel surveys and models.

    Using parasite genetic and human mobility data to infer local and cross-border malaria connectivity in Southern Africa

    Sofonias Tessema, Amy Wesolowski ... Bryan Greenhouse
    Combining parasite genetic and human mobility data can provide detailed information on local and cross-border connectivity, allowing programs to strengthen local and regional coordination for successful elimination of malaria.

    Neural activity in a hippocampus-like region of the teleost pallium is associated with active sensing and navigation

    Haleh Fotowat, Candice Lee ... Len Maler
    Sparse firing in a hippocampus-like structure of the teleost telencephalon is linked to spatial navigation and active sensing.

    Essential metabolism for a minimal cell

    Marian Breuer, Emmy E Earnest ... Zaida Luthey-Schulten
    A near-complete flux balance analysis model of a minimal cell demonstrates the high essentiality of its metabolic genes, agrees well with experimental essentiality data and suggests some further gene removals.

    Cytoskeletal tension and Bazooka tune interface geometry to ensure fusion fidelity and sheet integrity during dorsal closure

    Piyal Taru Das Gupta, Maithreyi Narasimha
    Restoration of molecular and morphological symmetry and mechanical integrity following epithelial fusion relies on adaptive changes that are mediated by cytoskeletal tension and Bazooka dependent modulation of fusing interface geometry.

    Selective targeting of unipolar brush cell subtypes by cerebellar mossy fibers

    Timothy S Balmer, Laurence O Trussell
    Distinct inputs to the cerebellum make contact on specific subtypes of target neurons.

    The impact of measles immunization campaigns in India using a nationally representative sample of 27,000 child deaths

    Benjamin KC Wong, Shaza A Fadel ... Prabhat Jha
    Measles immunization campaigns in India accelerated declines in child measles mortality rates and averted 41,000-56,000 child measles deaths during 2010 to 2013.

    Associations between sounds and actions in early auditory cortex of nonhuman primates

    Ying Huang, Peter Heil, Michael Brosch
    Early auditory cortex of nonhuman primates represents associations between sounds and actions, in both spiking activity and local field potentials.

    Potential herd protection against Plasmodium falciparum infections conferred by mass antimalarial drug administrations

    Daniel M Parker, Sai Thein Than Tun ... François Nosten
    Given sufficient population adherence, mass drug administration for falciparum malaria can provide group level benefits, also known as ‘herd effects’.

    A Mesozoic clown beetle myrmecophile (Coleoptera: Histeridae)

    Yu-Lingzi Zhou, Adam Ślipiński ... Joseph Parker
    A 99-million year old beetle in amber was a myrmecophile—a social impostor of the earliest-known ant colonies—revealing the most ancient behavioral symbiosis yet discovered in the Metazoa.
