    Foxtrot migration and dynamic over-wintering range of an Arctic raptor

    Ivan Pokrovsky, Teja Curk ... Martin Wikelski
    The dynamic over-wintering range of migratory birds, resulting from the newly described 'foxtrot migration' pattern, reveals potential errors in single mid-winter population assessments and highlights implications for their conservation status.

    Decisions: Tracking the evolution of a single choice

    Bharath Chandra Talluri, Hendrikje Nienborg
    Measuring the activity of hundreds of neurons in macaque brains simultaneously provides further evidence that drift-diffusion dynamics underlie how decisions are made in the brain.

    Developmental stage shapes the realized energy landscape for a flight specialist

    Elham Nourani, Louise Faure ... Kamran Safi
    The realized energy landscape expands as animals improve their movement behaviors with age.

    Goal-directed vocal planning in a songbird

    Anja T Zai, Anna E Stepien ... Richard HR Hahnloser
    Zebra finches are capable of overt vocal planning, but to reach a distant vocal target beyond the range of recently produced pitch requires both practice and auditory feedback.

    Boosting biodiversity monitoring using smartphone-driven, rapidly accumulating community-sourced data

    Keisuke Atsumi, Yuusuke Nishida ... Shogoro Fujiki
    Integrating an innovative community science platform with statistical modelling advances biodiversity monitoring and improves species habitat estimation across diverse taxa, supporting more effective conservation strategies.

    Gene expression plasticity followed by genetic change during colonization in a high-elevation environment

    Huishang She, Yan Hao ... Yanhua Qu
    An integrative approach allows investigations of the relationship between an initial plasticity and the subsequent adaptive evolution during rapid adaptive modification of complex systems in the wild.

    Oxygen isotopes in orangutan teeth reveal recent and ancient climate variation

    Tanya M Smith, Manish Arora ... Daniel R Green
    A new high-resolution approach to probing tooth chemistry shows real potential to uncover changing rainfall patterns and environmental conditions during human prehistory.

    Energy conservation by collective movement in schooling fish

    Yangfan Zhang, George V Lauder
    Fish schools showed an U-shaped metabolism-speed curve and reduced the energy use per tail beat up to 56% at high swimming speeds compared to solitary fish.
