A 2-year field experiment reveals that plant secondary metabolites can be harnessed to increase crop productivity through plant-soil feedbacks under agronomically realistic conditions.

After domestication, the cultivation range expansion of crops was not solely dictated by human activity but instead constrained by climatic factors, which in turn resulted in distinct phenotypic characteristics of locally adaptive landraces.

Rather than complex decisions, it is the motion of individuals that allows for collective foraging regulation in ant colonies.

A genomic, climatic, agronomic, and participatory characterization of teff agrobiodiversity shows opportunities and challenges of teff improvement in the face of climate change.

Plant diversification can make an important contribution to ecological intensification and the sustainable use of associated ecosystem services in an urban ecosystem.

Genetic, behavioral, and biochemical evidence reveals that the Drosophila TRPγ channel is required in neuroendocrine cells for the starvation-induced switch in preference to less palatable but more nutritive food.

Gut-innervating sensory neurons detect large food volumes and inhibit feeding in Drosophila through the mechanically gated ion channel Piezo.

An improved culture method for explanted adult Drosophila organs allows the live-imaging of damage response, cell differentiation, and tracing of progenitor cell lineages through multiple rounds of division.

Annual crop communities are able to adapt towards reduced competition and/or increased facilitation in response to their neighboring diversity after only two generations.

Colony satiation level determines the unloading rate of laden foragers, which, in turn, rely on their own food load to adjust their foraging effort.
