    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.

    Dinosaur bonebed amber from an original swamp forest soil

    Sergio Álvarez-Parra, Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente ... Xavier Delclòs
    The most prolific and oldest locality in which a rich dinosaur bonebed and fossiliferous amber have been found in association is revealed, allowing the reconstruction of an ancient terrestrial ecosystem with a detail and accuracy reached only exceptionally in palaeontology.

    Distinct effects of phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbes on invader Ageratina adenophora during its early life stages

    Zhao-Ying Zeng, Jun-Rong Huang ... Han-Bo Zhang
    An inoculation experiment shows phyllosphere microbiome plays an important role in invader Ageratina adenophora population establishment by killing seedlings at very early growth stage.

    Ingression-type cell migration drives vegetal endoderm internalisation in the Xenopus gastrula

    Jason WH Wen, Rudolf Winklbauer
    The cellular behaviours that underlie the internalization of the multilayered endoderm anlage in Xenopus laevis link the ancestral mode of vertebrate gastrulation to common, epithelial-based mechanisms of gastrulation in non-vertebrate animals.

    Fog signaling has diverse roles in epithelial morphogenesis in insects

    Matthew Alan Benton, Nadine Frey ... Siegfried Roth
    Fog signaling with a narrow morphogenetic role in Drosophila has a deeply conserved function in epithelial morphogenesis across insects.

    Genetic basis and dual adaptive role of floral pigmentation in sunflowers

    Marco Todesco, Natalia Bercovich ... Loren H Rieseberg
    Variation in patterns of floral UV pigmentation is controlled by a single transcription factor in sunflower and affects both pollinator attraction and responses to environmental stresses.

    Sequential phenotypic constraints on social information use in wild baboons

    Alecia J Carter, Miquel Torrents Ticó, Guy Cowlishaw
    Social information is a process encompassing information acquisition, application and exploitation that is constrained by an individual’s social, behavioural and demographic phenotype.

    The diversity and function of sourdough starter microbiomes

    Elizabeth A Landis, Angela M Oliverio ... Benjamin E Wolfe
    In the most comprehensive survey of sourdough starter biodiversity, this work identifies processes that control the diversity and function of sourdough microbiomes at a continental scale.

    Mapping the functional connectivity of ecosystem services supply across a regional landscape

    Rachel D Field, Lael Parrott
    Mapping functional relationships between multiple ecosystem services (ES) reveals previously unidentified areas of high ES value, which suggests that the spatial focus of planning for optimal ES provisioning may shift when relationships between several ES are considered.
