Fine-grain mobility data empirically quantify the propensity for human mixing to be indoors across the US and improve understanding of the relationship between the physical environment and infection risk in light of global change.

Mapping microbial landscapes in indoor environments can predict how contaminants and spoilage resistance genes propagate within food-production environments, yielding novel insight for controlling spoilage.

A new python package standardises and simplifies how spatial behaviour and neural representations are modelled in continuous environments.

Observations of ant excavation from a confining corral, along with theoretical models and synthetic robot experiments show the emergence of cooperation induced by pheromones in a malleable environment that is moulded by and moulds collective behavior.

The colonization of corals and their relatives by intracellular microalgae is facilitated by immunity proteins in the animal that contain thrombospondin-type-1 repeats, elucidating the inter-partner recognition processes required for the establishment of this ecologically important symbiosis.

A newly developed computational framework provides an overview of the extent, diversity, and relevance of the genes of unknown function in genomes and metagenomes.

Genetic and microscopy analyses identify a programmed cell death mechanism that kills a cell subpopulation in a bacterial biofilm where oxygen is limiting, thereby promoting dispersion of newborn motile cells through the action of DNA released by dead cells.

A set of adaptive mutations affect only a small number of phenotypes that matter in the evolution condition, and yet contain substantial latent functional diversity revealed in distant environments.

Biochemical studies in combination with computational modeling and molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the lipid bilayer promotes intramembrane proteolysis by stabilizing the enzyme-substrate complex and the protease active site.

A novel naturalistic environment with a touchscreen enables high-quality eye tracking for studying visual cognition in monkeys, and allows naive monkeys to learn complex tasks through a combination of social observation of trained monkeys and trial-and-error learning.
