    The golden mimicry complex uses a wide spectrum of defence to deter a community of predators

    Stano Pekár, Lenka Petráková ... Marie E Herberstein
    A mimetic complex composed of at least 140 species of ants, wasps, spiders, true bugs and treehoppers, all with conspicuous golden bodies, has been discovered.

    Resource depletion through primate stone technology

    Lydia V Luncz, Amanda Tan ... Michael Gumert
    Technology-driven overharvesting of marine prey influences tool selection pattern in long tailed macaques, posing a serious threat to their behavioural traditions.

    Evolutionary consequences of intra-patient phage predation on microbial populations

    Kimberley D Seed, Minmin Yen ... Andrew Camilli
    Bacterial viruses are an unexpected ‘third party’ that imposes a strong predatory pressure on a bacterial pathogen during the natural course of infection in humans.

    Subtle selectivity in a pheromone sensor triumvirate desynchronizes competence and predation in a human gut commensal

    Johann Mignolet, Guillaume Cerckel ... Pascal Hols
    A new cell–cell communication system in Streptococcus salivarius, a human gut commensal, discriminates between close signaling molecules to specifically produce bacteriocin-based antimicrobials and disconnects it from foreign DNA acquisition.

    Ecological and social pressures interfere with homeostatic sleep regulation in the wild

    J Carter Loftus, Roi Harel ... Margaret C Crofoot
    Collective dynamics and site familiarity, but not the recent history of sleep and activity, shape sleep patterns in a wild social primate.

    Humans disrupt access to prey for large African carnivores

    Kirby L Mills, Nyeema C Harris
    The presence of humans induces behavioral modifications in many large carnivore and ungulate species, restructuring spatiotemporal relationships between African predators and their prey.

    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.

    Higher social tolerance is associated with more complex facial behavior in macaques

    Alan V Rincon, Bridget M Waller ... Jérôme Micheletta
    Detailed quantification of macaque facial behavior reveals a positive link between social and communicative complexity, and helps us to better understand the evolution of animal communication.
    1. Ecology

    Both prey and predator features predict the individual predation risk and survival of schooling prey

    Jolle Wolter Jolles, Matthew MG Sosna ... Iain D Couzin
    Detailed tracking of live predators attacking live schools of prey reveals the crucial interplay between predator attack strategy and prey behaviour and positioning in determining the predation risk within mobile animal groups.

    Global gradients in intertidal species richness and functional groups

    Jakob Thyrring, Lloyd S Peck
    No discernible latitudinal diversity gradient in rocky intertidal α-diversity as local-scale physical and biological processes outweigh global-scale environmental gradients.
