    Fitness consequences of outgroup conflict

    Ines Braga Goncalves, Amy Morris-Drake ... Andrew N Radford
    A detailed discussion of the broad range of immediate, delayed, cumulative, and third-party fitness consequences arising from outgroup conflict showcases the importance of this neglected aspect of sociality as a powerful and widespread evolutionary force.

    Human muscle spindles are wired to function as controllable signal-processing devices

    Michael Dimitriou
    By acting as versatile signal-processors that encode flexible coordinate representations, muscle spindles challenge current widely held views concerning the role of proprioceptors and the peripheral nervous system in sensorimotor function.

    Metabolic arsenal of giant viruses: Host hijack or self-use?

    Djamal Brahim Belhaouari, Gabriel Augusto Pires De Souza ... Sarah Aherfi
    Metabolic pathways found to date in giant virus raise the question if these viral enzymes provide some level of autonomy to viruses or if they are used to expand the host metabolism.

    Neural mechanisms underlying the temporal organization of naturalistic animal behavior

    Luca Mazzucato
    Naturalistic animal behavior exhibits a complex organization in the temporal domain, whose variability stems from hierarchical, contextual, and stochastic sources and can be naturally explained in terms of metastable attractor models.

    Proposing a neural framework for the evolution of elaborate courtship displays

    Ryan W Schwark, Matthew J Fuxjager, Marc F Schmidt
    The midbrain periaqueductal grey is a conserved mediator of elaborate courtship behavior in a range of vertebrate taxa, likely shaping how this behavior diversifies across the tree of life.

    Contractile force assessment methods for in vitro skeletal muscle tissues

    Camila Vesga-Castro, Javier Aldazabal ... Jacobo Paredes
    A standardized comparison of contractile force among in vitro muscle tissues across different platforms requires proper normalization with the contractile area and complementary morphological, maturation, and functional analysis to reduce variability and boost a new generation of engineered constructs.
