A plant pathogen effector evolved a short linear motif to subvert autophagic defenses by antagonising a host cargo receptor.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a protein called Ecp6, which is produced by a tomato fungus, reveals how the protein prevents plants from launching an immune response to the chitin in fungal cell walls.

Allelic MLA immune receptors have an exceptional propensity to directly detect sequence-unrelated pathogen effectors and this feature might have facilitated functional diversification of the receptor in the host population.

Set size effects in visual working memory are explained as a resource-rational trade-off between an error-based behavioral cost and a neural encoding cost.

Small changes to the way COVID-19 vaccine side-effect rates are framed and communicated have meaningful impacts on individuals' vaccination intentions.

A proposed model of optimal inference under cognitive costs accounts for human sequential effects, including subtle patterns of attractive and repulsive influence of past observations, in a binary prediction task across a wide range of stimulus conditions.

In wild baboons, a female's adverse early experiences can influence her offspring's survival years after the original adversity was experienced.

Analysis of microbial communities in floral nectar shows that it is possible to identify an overarching factor that governs the eco-evolutionary dynamics of priority effects across multiple levels of biological organization.

Newly developed, highly active CRISPR interference single guide RNA libraries and effectors together enable high-quality genetic screens across cell models.

The adaptive value of social behaviour exhibited in adult life varies with conditions experienced in early life, and poorer conditions may promote conflict over cooperation.
