A synthetic, prospective article considers how the fields of sensory ecology and collective behaviour can combine when considering animal collective movements and interactions, and how these fields can inspire each other to advance understanding of animal behaviour, adaptation and evolution.

Nuclear phosphoinositide signaling controls telomeric gene repression and activation essential for switching expression of surface antigen genes and thus antigenic variation.

Ototoxic transient loss of inner ear inputs leads to suboptimal visuo-vestibular integration despite visual substitution and demonstrates the fundamental role of type I hair cells in the vestibulo-ocular reflexes.

Circular analyses of knowledge are a common, serious, but often manageable problem in systems and network neuroscience.

A previously unrecognized subpopulation of fibroblasts that immediately responded to stimuli from mouse periodontitis models and activated the Toll-like receptor signaling and chemokine expression to guide oral barrier immunity and gingival inflammation was revealed by mouse gingival single-cell transcriptomic atlas.

Cylicin 1 and Cylicin 2 are essential components of the sperm perinuclear theca and their loss results in impaired spermiogenesis and thus in infertility in mice and men.

2D template matching enables a streamlined single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy workflow that can be used to discover new high-resolution structural features in molecules and complexes, such as bound ligands and drugs.

The analysis of T cell movement in multiple tissues (lymph node, villi, and lung under two different inflammatory conditions) sheds new light on how T cells navigate different tissue environments to improve immunity and search processes.

Bonus, the Drosophila TIF1 factor, functions as a repressor of tissue-specific genes in the germline, emphasizing an important function of SUMOylation in transcriptional regulation.
