Unbiased and targeted genetic approaches reveal a link between sleep and autophagy that could be relevant for sleep function, and for understanding pathological consequences of chronic sleep loss.

Deciding which of two perceptual decisions is more difficult involves sequential sampling processes that terminate when the difference in accumulated evidence for each decision exceeds a threshold.

Birds that see ultraviolet light tune the sensitivity of their short-wavelength photoreceptors with colored filters to maximize the number of colors they can see.

Habitats of satellite-tracked blue sharks were shifted surfaceward by an oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) at depth thereby increasing their susceptibility to capture by longline fishing focused above the OMZ.

Analysis of the global genetic requirements and gene expression changes in E. coli in the presence of a simple microbiome revealed pairwise and higher-order interactions, and underlying molecular mechanisms.

The SCF-family of ubiquitin ligases regulates the key cancer proliferation node by controlling the degradation of RB-like tumor suppressor RBL2/p130.

The retrieval of whole genomes from museum specimens from the extinct Xerxes Blue butterfly shows signals of population decline that could be use to identify present-day endangered insect species.

In a zooplankton larva, ciliary and rhabdomeric photoreceptor cells work antagonistically to form a spectral depth gauge.

We are writing to comment on the article by Mohebi et al., 2023: we show that blue light alters the fluorescent properties of a genetically-encoded dopamine sensor in a manner that may be misconstrued as phasic dopamine release.

Drosophila polymodal nociceptors use precipitous fluctuation of the firing rate, which depends on Ca²⁺ influx, as a key signal encoding a heat sensation and evoking the robust heat avoidance behavior.
