    How zebrafish maintain efficient and fair foraging behaviours

    New findings reveal how social interactions among zebrafish allow them to forage efficiently and promote equality within groups under a variety of environmental conditions.
  1. eLife launches Executable Research Articles for publishing computationally reproducible results

    Authors with a published eLife paper can now enrich their work with embedded code blocks and computed outputs to make their results more transparent, interactive and reproducible.

    Species competition and cooperation influence vulnerability to climate change

    Some species work together to maximise their fitness at suboptimal temperatures in the presence of competitors, making them especially vulnerable to habitat destruction in the face of climate change.
